We swam in a shark FEEDING FRENZY + with the PIGS of famous Pig Island of the Exumas in The Bahamas

In what was certainly our most exciting travel day so far, our yacht captain took us to 3 Exumas hot spots: The Washing Machine, swimming in the middle of a shark feeding frenzy at Compass Cay, and playing with the swimming pigs on the world famous Pig Island!

The Washing Machine is a natural lazy river that swirls among sea-turtles and stingrays in a massive spin cycle around Shroud key. It's an intimidating phenomenon that appears determined to rush you out to sea with incredibly strong currents.

While these sharks presented little risk of bites/attacks, there were dozens of them in a wild environment and they were all very hungry. Seeing them surround our kids was nerve wracking but it was so cool to feel these hydrodynamic creatures pushing their way past you with their rough skin.

No trip to the Exumas would be complete without visiting Pig Island and playing with these adorable creatures! We were lucky enough to visit just days after the birth of the tiniest little piglets you've ever seen. Some of these pigs were cute and friendly, but some were aggressive and downright criminal as they stole our food and tried to strand us on the island!
