Berry Islands, Bahamas
Wade into a calmer kind of island day.
Swimming pigs along the shoreline. Stingrays in clear, shallow water. A whole island that only feels like ours for the day.
A private day, made for the way you actually spend it.
Made for cruise day
A whole island, just for the ship.
You won't share the day with three other excursions. The island opens for your visit and closes when you head back to the boat.
Real wildlife, gently led
Pigs and stingrays, on their terms.
Local guides keep the encounters calm and respectful, so the wildlife stays comfortable and the kids stay close.
Easy comforts
Shaded lounging, fresh food, clean water.
The day comes with the modern amenities you'd want, without the resort polish that gets in the way of a good island afternoon.
Featured Encounters
Three encounters the island is best known for.
Led by guides who grew up in these waters. Close enough to feel real, calm enough for the family.
Most Photographed
Swim with the Pigs
Step into the shallows and let the island's most famous residents come say hello. They set the pace. You bring the camera.
Best for Cruise Guests
Wade with the Rays
Slow water, slow movements. Southern stingrays glide just past your ankles on a quiet sandbar.

Plan Your Day
Swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and water shoes if you have them. Everything else is on the island — fresh water, shade, and snacks at the deck.
Plan for roughly 4 to 5 hours from when you step off the boat to when you head back. There's no rush. The day moves at island pace.
Yes. Families with young kids are some of our most regular guests. The water is shallow, the guides are patient, and the pigs are remarkably gentle.
On the Island
Always. A local guide leads every encounter, with the pigs and the stingrays. The animals set the pace, the guides keep it calm, and nobody rushes them.
That's fine. Most of the island day happens in ankle-to-knee water or up on the deck. You can meet the pigs without going more than a few steps into the shallows.
Plenty of both. Covered seating runs the length of the deck. Fresh fruit, sandwiches, and cold drinks are part of the day at no extra cost.
Photos & Practical
Our photographers work the island all day and upload to the photo portal within 48 hours. Find your visit by date and cruise line.
The deck and main pig area are stable hard-pack sand reachable from the dock. The stingray sandbar needs a short wade. If anyone in your group has mobility concerns, the contact form ahead of your visit lets us plan ahead.
Island Stewardship
Care before the encounter.
Every animal on the island is looked after. Healthy, happy, and free. You'll feel it the moment they come say hi.
On their pace.
The pigs come ashore when they're ready. The stingrays move in their own time. Guides keep a respectful distance, and food never enters the encounter.
Always guided.
Every interaction has a guide on the water. Life vests are stocked, the marine zone stays shallow for small swimmers, and only reef-safe products go in the water.
Quiet by design.
Limited daily groups keep the water calm, the wildlife at ease, and the day yours to spend at the pace you wanted when you booked the cruise.
