Although technically we didn't get to swim with the pigs, we did get to feed the pigs and more importantly we had a great time.
We went to the marina around 9am and met our pilot/host/guide. The boat is not massive but big enough for a group of 6 people. Not the easiest of things to board. There is no toilet on the boat, and we were onboard for around 3 hours.
Once we were comfortably onboard the pilot took us out of the marina and told us all about the people that live in the expensive houses as we passed them heading out to the ocean.
The first place we stopped was a little area where we could go snorkelling with the fish in crystal clear waters; we decided not to do this. The next stop is a place that serves hotdogs on another island (unfortunately it was not open because it was early due to us not going snorkelling).
We then headed to where the turtles are which is next to a beautiful quiet island with sandy beaches and again crystal-clear waters (basically paradise). We ended up spending a little over an hour at this location, turtle watching, roaming the beach and having a swim.
The last location was the swimming with the pigs (in this case feeding the pigs). It's a very busy location and very commercialised so not as pretty as the rest of the trip and quite chaotic. Due to the number of people and the fact that the pigs prefer food to having a swim you probably won't get to swim with any.
