This is a trip u will not regret! Best thing we did the entire stay!
Book this !! What an experience! We booked with Mutton Fish tours and Pedro our captain was the best! He went above and beyond to make our day special. We snorkeled and saw beautiful fish and sea turtles. My daughter even touched one. He had food prepared and ready. The food was great and the Rum punch!! He shared a lot of history of the islands. I would definitely book this again. It was work every penny. Thank you Pedro for a great Day!!
Response from the operator: Hello Beth, We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us. Hope to see you again!! Thank you for choosing Mutton Fish Charters & Tours .

Friendly and informative guides but not as advertised
We had a good morning with our friendly tour guides. The boat was comfortable but slow: most of our morning was spent travelling. We had 20 minutes at Gilligans island, which was good. We then went on to Green Cay, where we saw some turtles from the boat for about 15 minutes. The turtles were great. We then went on to Rose Island for the pigs. The large rocks in the sea made it difficult and painful to get out of the way of the pigs if they came straight at you (we had been told to always feed them from the side) and the pigs were huge! Even the “little piglet” was bigger than expected. Don’t pay for photos to be taken! We were promised them within 24 hours but they haven’t come. On the itinerary for the day we should have had the opportunity to snorkel on a reef, but that didn’t happen. It also promised a Bahamian meal, but the only food we were offered was crisps/snacks and supermarket sandwiches. Altogether we felt the trip was poor value for money.
Response from the operator: Hello, so sorry to hear that you that the trip was poor value for money. Also, you have the option to either choose between sandwiches or a Bahamian meal. Thank you.

5 Star Service!
Captain Pedro & his 1st Mate, Andrew, were exceptional! Our family of 5 had the yacht to ourselves & were given tons of history lessons on all the different islands. Refreshments, lunch & snacks were provided (our kids were especially happy with the chips & Oreos). Captain Pedro took us to Turtle Cay where we all got to jump in & snorkel with the turtles. Then we headed off to Rose Island to feed & swim with the pigs. What an unforgettable experience!! We ended our tour by going to a reef and snorkeling. The reef was breathtaking & the variety of fish was incredible. Can’t wait to come back & do a fishing trip with Captain Pedro again! (PS…his Rum Punch is amazing!!)
Response from the operator: We are so glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your trip. We appreciate your review. Thank you for choosing us!!

Amazing
Unbelievably kind. They went out of their way to make my daughter’s pig encounter dream come true, running a last minute extra trip just for us (after trip with another company had been cancelled). I could not recommend Mutton Fish Tours more highly. Absolutely amazing!

while swimming with the...
while swimming with the pigs was amazing, and what i had hoped it would be, the rest of the excursion was not available that day due to rough seas which was disappointing. One other thing to be aware of that is not disclosed when you book this tour is that there is a "landing fee" to get onto the island. 15$ per person each way to have someone bring you to shore from the boat, as our boat could not get close enough.. that ended up being an additional 60$ for my husband and i for a already 700$ excursion.
Response from the operator: Am glad that you enjoyed the pig show, however am sorry about you having to pay that extra money, but it was very rough on that day and you didn't want me to cancel you,,once again am sorry for this miss understanding

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nassau.
How much does Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nassau usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nassau is not rushed.
Is Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nassau, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nassau can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nassau and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nassau within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nassau?
+
On Outty we rank every Nassau experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bites of Nassau Food and Walking Tour, Pirate Jeep Sightseeing Adventure!, Rum Tasting and Food Walking Tour in Nassau Bahamas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nassau?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nassau?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch?
+
Included: Life jackets; Carbonated beverages; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 19 listed pickup locations in and around Nassau. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Athol Island Swimming Pigs Half-Day Boat Tour with Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
