Frequently Asked Questions

Booking is easy: pick your package, choose a date and time in the booking widget, and tap the WhatsApp button. David will get your message and confirm your spot in minutes. No payment required upfront.

No. Payment is due on the day of the tour, by cash or card. No deposit, no advance charges. Your booking is confirmed with just a WhatsApp message.

Yes. Since there's no upfront payment, you can cancel or reschedule with no penalty. Just let David know via WhatsApp as early as possible so the spot can be offered to other guests.

We accept USD cash and credit/debit cards. Payment is collected on the day of the tour before we head out.

Ideally, book at least 24–48 hours ahead, especially during peak season (December–April) or if you're a larger group. That said, I do accommodate last-minute bookings when there's availability — just message me and we'll figure it out.

We offer three Pig Beach Tour packages:

• 🏖️ Basic — $80/person: Swimming with pigs, snorkeling, private beach, kayaks, WiFi. 3 hours.

Prices are per person. Kids ages 3–12 get a reduced rate ($50 Basic, $60 Premium, $70 VIP). Children under 3 are free.

For groups of 10 or more, message me directly on WhatsApp and I'll work out a special rate. I love hosting groups — bachelorette parties, birthdays, corporate outings… bring them all!

We meet at the Nassau Cruise Port, right by the cruise arrival area. David will send you the exact location on WhatsApp when he confirms your booking — no guesswork needed.

We depart at 9:15 AM and 11:20 AM daily. Tours run 3 to 4 hours depending on the package. If you're arriving by cruise ship, I'll help you pick the time that fits your port schedule.

Safety comes first. If sea or weather conditions aren't safe, we cancel and reschedule at no charge. David will give you advance notice and find the best alternative for your trip.

Absolutely! Many of our guests arrive by cruise ship. The meeting point is steps from the port. Just tell me your ship's schedule and I'll make sure the tour gets you back on time.

Yes, this is a family-friendly tour. Life jackets are available. The pigs swim in shallow water and are very gentle. Kids under 3 are free, and children ages 3–12 get a special rate.

Yes! It's one of the kids' all-time favorite parts. The pigs are tame and used to people. David keeps an eye on everything to make sure it's a safe and fun experience for the whole family.

You must be 18 or older to drive the Jet Ski. Minors can ride along as a passenger with an adult. The Banana Boat is open to all ages.

• 🩱 Swimsuit on (or under your clothes)
• 🕶️ Sunglasses and a hat
• 🧴 Water-resistant sunscreen
• 👟 Shoes that can get wet (sandals or water shoes)
• 📷 Waterproof camera or a waterproof case for your phone
• 💵 Cash or card to pay for the tour
• 🧴 Bug spray (optional)

Not at all. The main activities take place in shallow water close to the beach. We have life jackets available for anyone who wants one. Non-swimmers can still enjoy the pigs and the beach without any problem.

Sure, you're welcome to bring snacks or extra drinks. Just keep in mind that the Premium and VIP packages already include food and unlimited beverages, so you probably won't need anything extra.

In Nassau, cash is king. Official taxis (yellow license plates) prefer US dollars in cash. A few take cards, but it's rare and may come with a surcharge. Always carry small bills.

Rates from the port: Port → Cable Beach: $15–20 · Port → Paradise Island: $20–25 · Port → Airport: $35–45. Prices are per ride, not per person.

The safest ATMs are on Bay Street, a 5-minute walk away. Bank of the Bahamas and RBC both have monitored branches there. Inside the port terminal there are also attended ATMs.

At Paradise Island, inside Atlantis, ATMs are available 24/7. Always use machines in busy, well-lit areas and cover the keypad when entering your PIN.

Gratuity is often added automatically to the bill (10–15%). Check your receipt before adding more. If it's not included, 10–15% of the total is the norm.

For tours and guides, $5–10 per person is very much appreciated. At the Fish Fry (Arawak Cay) it's optional but always welcome.

The port terminal has free Wi-Fi in the waiting area. Starbucks on Bay Street offers Wi-Fi with a purchase, and the British Colonial Hilton lobby also has open coverage.

Senor Frog's gives you the password with your receipt. Signal can be slow during peak hours. Download offline maps before you leave the ship.

T-Mobile and AT&T usually include data in the Bahamas (reduced speeds or a small surcharge depending on your plan). Verizon charges extra. European and other international plans tend to have high roaming rates.

The cheapest option is a prepaid eSIM (Airalo or Holafly) starting around $5–10 per day. Buy it before you travel.

BTC and Aliv have stores on Bay Street, a 5–10 minute walk from the port. Prepaid SIMs run $10–15 USD with basic data. You'll need your passport to register.

Alternative: a downloadable eSIM (Airalo, Holafly) that you activate while still on the ship before you arrive.

The Jitney costs between $1.50 and $2.00 USD per ride in exact cash. No change is given. You pay the driver as you board.

Route 10 → Cable Beach / Baha Mar · Route 12B → eastern Nassau. There are no fixed stops; flag the bus down anywhere along the route. Service runs until approximately 6:00–7:00 PM.

Yes, completely safe. It's about a 15–20 minute walk (roughly 0.75 miles). Route: exit the port → left on Bay Street → up Elizabeth Avenue.

The area is touristy with a police presence and passes through the historic downtown. Go during the day. The Queen's Staircase and Fort Fincastle are free and well worth the walk.

The water taxi costs $7 USD each way — a 10-minute ride with great views of the harbor. It's cheaper and more scenic than a regular taxi ($20–25, 15–20 min).

It only runs until 5:00 PM. If you're heading to Cabbage Beach, the water taxi drops you closer. Highly recommended for getting there; take a regular taxi back if it's late.

Yes, it's safe and very common. Junkanoo Beach is just a 15-minute walk from the cruise port along a busy, well-marked route. I recommend going as a group and sticking to daytime hours. It's the fastest and cheapest way to hit the beach without a taxi. If you'd rather have the convenience, a cab runs about $10–15.

The real price for a Jet Ski in Nassau is $120 USD for 30 minutes. Some beach vendors advertise low prices but tack on charges for "insurance," "extra gas," or a "deposit." Always ask for the all-in total price before you get on.

With David's VIP Package, the Jet Ski is included in the tour price ($140/person) — no surprises, no hidden fees.

A "No thanks" with a smile and a steady pace works 90% of the time. If they persist, "I'm just looking, thanks" or "Maybe later" is plenty.

Don't engage in negotiation if you're not genuinely interested. Keep walking, be friendly but direct, and don't feel pressured.

Tap water in Nassau is technically safe to drink, but it has a pretty strong chlorine taste. Most restaurants serve bottled or filtered water by default.

I'd stick to bottled water for comfort, not safety. On David's tour, drinks are included with the Premium and VIP packages.

Junkanoo Beach draws nearly every cruise passenger because it's free and a 15-minute walk from the port. When multiple ships are in, it gets packed.

Alternatives: Saunders Beach (20-min walk west, much quieter), Montagu Beach (10 min by taxi, great for families), Cable Beach (15 min by taxi, much larger). The best way to escape the crowds is to book a tour with David.

Nassau moves slower on Sundays. Most shops on Bay Street open around 10:00 AM and close by 4:00 PM — or don't open at all. This catches a lot of cruise passengers off guard.

Restaurants open later too (noon–1:00 PM). The Fish Fry (Arawak Cay) usually does operate. Save shopping for another day and prioritize the beach or a tour on Sundays.
