Pigs on a Beach

A recent addition to Eleuthera have been the Pigs at Meek’s Patch. They are not swimming pigs. These are not to be confused with the more famous Swimming Pigs at Pig Beach in Exuma, which can be visited on our other Miami to Bahamas Day Trip by Pane.  The pigs here come in all sizes and the island has become a fun attraction for all ages!

Eleuthera Land Tour (alternative to Boat Tour)

There are rare occasions when the wind speeds and sea conditions are too dangerous for a full duration boat tour over Devil’s Backbone to visit the snorkel activity and sea turtles; therefore the land attractions at Preachers Cave and Sapphire Blue Hole maybe substituted instead. If you prefer an overland tour to a boat tour, we can offer different land based attractions. It is not possible to do both Boat Tour and Land Tour together on the same Day Trip to Bahamas.
