The Truth About Swimming With Pigs
They’re bigger than you think, hungrier than you hope, and the highlight of nearly every guest’s day. Here’s how to do it right.
Let’s clear something up: yes, the pigs really swim. They live on their own beach, they hear our engine coming, and they paddle out like they own the place — because honestly, they do.
The big ones are seventy, eighty pounds. They are gentle but they are not shy, especially if they think you’re holding food. We hand out feed on the boat, show you how to hold it flat-palmed, and keep the little ones in the group closest to the crew. Nobody has ever left disappointed; a few have left with a great story about being chased through knee-deep water by a piglet.
Our advice: bring a waterproof phone case, keep snacks zipped away, and let the pigs come to you. The photos take care of themselves.
It sounds like a gimmick until you’re standing in gin-clear water scratching a pig behind the ears while your family loses it laughing. Then it makes perfect sense.
