As frequent Royal Caribbean guests, we often find ourselves on Royals private Island of Coco Cay, marketed as the Perfect Day at Coco Cay.  Today we are signed up for a new Royal Caribbean CocoCay Excursion, The Swimming Pigs Tour.  This tour takes guests of CocoCay on a quick 15 minute speed boat ride to a neighboring island called Treasure Island to Swim with pigs. The Swimming Pigs tour has mixed reviews online, so we wanted to see and review this unique Royal Caribbean excursion for ourselves. This is a great option when looking for something to do on Coco cay.  Coco cay Bahahmas has a lot of great shore excursions,  This is what Royal Caribbean had to say about Swimming Pig Tour Perfect Day Cococay, Bahamas.  This is one or Royal Caribbeans best shore excursion

Swimming Pigs excursion on Treasure Island. First, you will ride in a boat across bright blue waters and enjoy a wide open ocean scenery as you breathe in the fresh salty air. You’ll arrive on a white sandy shoreline, where you’ll be greeted by a friendly group of pigs who are as excited you are here as we are! After a brief introduction to “pig life” you’ll then be led into the shallow beach water to observe the feeding of the pigs by our professionally trained staff. A photographer will be on site to capture your special moments with photos that will be available for purchase. Enjoy the nearby observation deck for sweeping views of the ocean, or rest and just enjoy the experience. We are so excited you have chosen to visit Treasure Island and will work hard to ensure your tour with us is memorable!

We were disappointed with not being able to take our own pictures of the swim but found there to be plenty of photo oppertunites after the pig swim tour was done.  The pigs are suprisingly great swimmers, mostly because they are highly motivated by food.  It is a definetly a cruise ship excursion the way you wait in line, smile at the camera sort of thing.  Its not a Wild, connect with nature kind of thing.  It is a pre packaged excursion, but still unique and lots of fun.  My boys loved holding all the baby pigs. And if you can avoid the floating bits of pig poo while you swim with them, you can't help but laugh at yourself swimming in warm Bahamas with these gentle giants.  

Now in our short amount of time on Treasure Island, it appeared the pigs were happy and taken care of.  We were told they have the entire island to live and are not put in pens.  The island has plenty of thick shade for the pigs.  

We would recomend bringing money with you.  Treasure Island does not take your Sea Pass card.  So if you want to buy a swim with pigs Tshirt or buy a drink from the bar, you are gonna need cash or credit card with you.
