The Great Pig Migration: Miami to Exuma
First things first, let's get one thing straight: there's no direct flight from Miami to Pig Island. The pigs aren't that organized, and to be honest, neither are most airlines. So, you're going to have to break down your journey into a few steps.
Step 1: Fly to the Bahamas Your first stop is the Bahamas. You can fly from Miami to either Nassau or George Town. Nassau is the capital, so it might be a bit more bustling, while George Town is closer to Pig Island. Choose your adventure!

Step 2: Island Hopping Once you're in the Bahamas, you'll need to hop on a boat to get to Pig Island. It's part of the Exuma Cays, a chain of islands known for their stunning beauty and, of course, their porcine residents.
Tips for Your Piggy Paradise Adventure
- Pack your snorkel gear: You'll want to get up close and personal with these swimming superstars.
- Bring plenty of sunscreen: The Bahamian sun can be intense. Nobody wants a crispy pig-hugging experience.
- Don't bring food for the pigs: It might seem tempting to share your snacks, but it's not good for their diet. Besides, they're already quite well-fed.
- Respect the pigs: These are wild animals, so admire them from a safe distance. No piggy selfies unless they initiate it!
