How can you spend less?
Go near Nassau rather than to the Exumas; a morning with the Rose Island pigs costs a third of an Exuma day.
If the original Pig Beach matters, fly into Great Exuma for a few nights and take a local cays tour instead of a day trip from Nassau. The Fast Track encounter is the cheapest Nassau option at $79.
Is booking on Viator more expensive?
