Swim with the Pigs / West End Experience

We toured with Hida yesterday, and it was a fabulous experience! She is kind, thoughtful, flexible, and tremendously knowledgeable! She planned a detailed itinerary that left room for us to give feedback and make changes, if desired. We truly got the full flavor of the island in the few hours we were able to spend with her on our day in The Bahamas- a port on our cruise. I cannot recommend Hida highly enough-and swimming with the pigs was truly a highlight of our vacation. ❤️

The tour guide Hild went out of her way to custom tailor our trip to what WE wanted. We explained what we were most interested in, and also what we didn't care too much about. Worth every cent.

Not good !!! Worst tour. No wild pig island. Made us late for that (45 minutes) brought us next door to set up a snorke excursion ($160.00 more) to kill time while we waited for the next pig feeding had to have lunch there, another $50.00. At $275 per person I kind of thought lunch would be included. Went back to pigs walked 50 feet behind a fence and in to the water where they give you apple skewers then let the pigs out. Lots of pig crap in the water. Not at all what we expected. Then kept telling us it was ok to be 30-40 minutes late back to the cruise ship. We said no we have to be back at 3:30. Got us back at 3:50 captain was waiting for us pissed off. Almost missed it 😡😡 C. Venezia

Hida was so nice! She did an excellent job communicating with me before our trip and ensured that we saw everything we could see in the time we had on the island. Snorkeling with the turtles, although a little rushed, was our favorite part! The only thing is there was a misunderstanding regarding tips. If you book this tour be sure to budget extra cash for tips!

We had a great day with Hida. Her car was clean and comfortable. The schedule was flexible and tailored to our interests. Hida took us swimming with the pigs which was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We also went snorkeling next door and saw a variety of fish and a few sea turtles. Hida was very knowledgeable of local sites, customs, and landmarks. We learned a lot about Grand Bahama that we never knew. Ended the day having a late lunch at Banana Bay restaurant. It’s situated on a beautiful beach / sand bar with crystal blue water.

We spent an enjoyable tour of the island with our guide. Her knowledge of the history and culture of the island is remarkable. Your day can be tailored to your personal requirements. Do take in the open air farmer's market, with Miss Brenda's conch fritters. A swim with the pigs is a must! So much fun!

Hida was great and really tailored this experience to what we were interested in. She knows everyone on the island and clearly cares about both her guests and local Bahamians. We opted to hire Hida instead of using the cruise ship excursions because we wanted to see the real Grand Bahama. We still got to do the pig swim that the cruise offered, but got so much more. Thanks to Michael, too! We enjoyed our snorkel swim!

We loved swimming with the pigs and even added snorkeling with a guide to our day. Kids had a blast and saw lots of creatures (fish, turtles, stingray)It was great to be with Hida and not on a crowded bus. She took us to shop and try the best conch fritters!

My daughter and I joined Hida, from Experience Grand Bahama, to tour the West End, swim with the pigs and snorkel with turtles. We had a ball! Hida is attentive and flexible to make the tour exactly what you want it to be. Her car was very clean and she followed all health protocols, which we appreciated. Hida clearly knows how to make guests feel cared for. Highly recommend!

Me and my sister did the swim with pigs/swim with turtles.. and it was so much fun! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and experienced and very fun! I am glad that we did both tours :") highly recommend
