Swimming with wild dolphins features on many people's travel wishlist, but have you ever dreamed of swimming with wild pigs? One island in the Bahamas' Exuma Cays has built up an unusual reputation for its porcine occupants, who like nothing better than a dip in its crystalline waters.

The family of brown and pink porkers live freely on the beaches of Big Major Spot Island. Nobody is quite sure how the pigs came to be there, but now the secret is out, tourists are streaming in to join them playing in the surf.

Find out more about swimming with pigs in the Bahamas.
