The Ultimate Bimini Experience

Just 50 miles off the coast of Florida, the Bimini Islands offer an intimate Caribbean escape steeped in history and natural wonder. Known as the 'Big Game Fishing Capital of the World' and a favorite retreat for Ernest Hemingway, these islands are home to the mysterious Bimini Road—believed by many to be a remnant of the Lost City of Atlantis. Our platform connects you with the best local operators, offering everything from high-speed ferry day trips from Fort Lauderdale to immersive snorkeling adventures at the sunken S.S. Sapona. Whether you are swimming with wild stingrays at Honeymoon Harbour, exploring the quirky Dolphin House, or tasting fresh conch salad at a local shack, Bimini delivers a raw, authentic Bahamian vibe that remains untouched by mass tourism.

Planning

Historical Context

Bimini was a major hub for bootlegging during the US Prohibition era. Its location made it the perfect 'jumping off' point for transporting alcohol into Florida.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut glare on the water
  • GoPro or waterproof housing is a must for the Sapona
  • Shoot the Dolphin House at golden hour for the best colors

Insider Tips

  • Bring a dry bag for your electronics on boat tours
  • Try the Bimini Bread from Nate's or Edith's bakery early in the morning
  • Rent a golf cart immediately upon arrival as they sell out during peak season

Our Partners

  • Our curated experiences are powered by Viator, a TripAdvisor company, ensuring global standards of service and reliability.

Fun Facts

  • Bimini is only 50 miles from Miami, making it closer to the US than it is to the Bahamian capital, Nassau.
  • The S.S. Sapona was a concrete ship commissioned by Woodrow Wilson that ran aground during a hurricane in 1926.

Cancellation Policy

Most tours offer a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours in advance. Ferry tickets are typically non-refundable but may be changeable for a fee.

Unforgettable Snorkeling

The S.S. Sapona was the highlight of our trip. The water was so clear we could see everything from the boat before even getting in. Booking was seamless!

Great Day Trip

Took the ferry from Fort Lauderdale. Long day but worth it for the beach club and the turquoise water. The conch fritters in Alice Town are a must-try

Delicious Food Tour

The Bimini food taste tour was fantastic. We tried Gully Wash and authentic conch salad. A great way to see the local side of the island away from the resorts

Used the private transfer service from the airport. The driver was waiting for us and even gave us a mini history tour on the way to the hotel. Super easy

Bike Tour Fun

Renting bikes and doing the guided tour through Bailey Town was the best way to see the Dolphin House. It's much hotter than you think, so bring water!
