I didn’t think that any of the cruise excursions go to exuma, just local islands where they bring pigs to the beach.

Yeah, there's a fairly substantial thread just below this one about it.

 

The real pig beach is in the Exumas.  The others, from what I gather, are just touristy imitations.

By “private” you mean “independent and private” I assume? Check on the independent, shared excursions to Pearl Island or Rose Island. The Exuma options are typically too far or just too expensive for most day visitors to Nassau, but not impossible.

The Sandy Toes excursion is very popular -

We look for independent excursion operators when possible, and when it makes sense, as here, STT, Tortola and other ports…But your comfort level, and time in port, should drive your decision of course…
