"No Crowds, No Buses, No Time Schedule but Yours!" You will be on an exclusive personalized daytrip with your trilingual Bahamian guide for the day. With me, your itinerary can be changed to suit your preferences. We will visit all of the local sites of interest in Freeport, Lucaya and the West End of Grand Bahama. The highlight of this customized daytrip is Swimming with the Pigs at Crystal Beach. This is a unique fun activity for all the family to experience where you get to feed the pigs, pet them, hold them, swim with them, and enjoy the beautiful turquoise clear waters of the Bahamas. You will be interacting with the pigs, up close and personal. After Swimming with the Pigs, you do have the option to Snorkel/Swim with the Turtles. Rental snorkel equipment is available at an additional cost. Afterwards, we tour West End, where you can try the best conch fritters and fresh conch salad on the waterfront in the oldest settlement and visit the Old Bahama Bay Resort and Marina.
