What To Expect

After hotel pickup in Miami in the early morning, your Bahamian day trip starts by boarding the ferry for the 2-hour ride to Bimini. A small bar is available on board if you wish to purchase snacks or drinks (own expense), and a tour desk provides information about activities offered on the island, such as Jet Ski rental, golf cart rental, and snorkeling (own expense).

When you arrive on the island, you have five to six hours of free time on the beach. Try your choice of water activities, if you wish, or perhaps visit the casino. Or simply swim in the clear waters and work on your tan.

At the end of the day, the ferry returns you to Miami, where a driver awaits to transfer you back to your hotel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Bimini bahamas, the island is beautiful with gorgeous white sand beaches. The food was great and staff are friendly! The bus was 25min late arriving & the departed from Miami was delayed but no other concerns. You can explore the island once you arrive and rent a golf cart. Definitely worth the price.

Awful, terrible, do not do it to yourself!
szilviaorszagh, Jan 2020
AWFUL!!!! This organisation is just below any expectations. It made the day a terrible experience, ending up half-dead. The ship back started with 2,5 hours delay. We were informed about it only after waiting for the shuttle train 1 hour. Before the we were allowed to enter the ship we had to stand in line 1 hour long. We entered the US pass control at 11 p.m. Then came 3 (!) hours of standing in line !!! We were treated like animals, spoken to like some criminals. Whereas we did nothing but paid a lot for a tourist event. We got home at 5 am. It means we were awake more than 24 hours! Shame on all participants who allow themselfs to treat people like this!!! DO NOT DO THIS TRIP IF YOU WANT GOOD.

We are very sorry that you had a bad experience with the US Immigration Service, we understand your frustration. Due a security issue US Passport Control experienced major delays on the day of your tour which is unfortunately out of our control. Again our sincere apology.
Poor trip

Picked up at 4,45am arrived at Port at 7 had to wait till 9,30 to get on boat why such an early pick up Arrived at hotel no one to greet you left to find out yourself what to do Told to be ready at5,30 reception for pick up to harbour bus came at 7 pm Not well organized at all very poor waste of money
Response from Host, Dec 2019
We apologize for the major delay on your travel date. The delay was due to a random US Coast Guard safety check. Safety is always our priority when taking you to the Bahamas. Again our apologies and thank you very much for your patience on that day.
Budget travel at a high price

Lack of infominform on website. Claims a Miami day trip but really boat leaves from ft Lauderdale. Bus ride is hot & packed. We had to be at the bus location at 5:45 am but the boat wasn't scheduled to leave port until 9 am. Boat didn't actually leave until closer to 11 am. Major lack of security through the whole process. Long lines & no communication. Unfriendly staff.
Lovely experience

I would recommend this trip, give it 5 stars! Everything ran smoothly for our trip. But there are no pigs at Bimini Bahamas as they show pictured in their advertisement.

ES UN TIMO
tamaradA5731QC, Sep 2019
Esta excursión es una vergüenza y un robo, te pone hora de salida a las 6:30 y es mentira, te dicen un punto de encuentro que no te dan opción, te tienen desde las 5:30 de la mañana hasta las 9:30 metida en un autobús , porque el barco sale más tarde, en vez de dar la opción de ir al puerto antes, al final estas en Bahamas 3 horas porque si alquilas un carro de golf tienes que dejarlo a las 17:00 y llegas sobre la 13:00, no la recomiendo para nada, no me dejan reclamar y no quieren devolverme mi dinero !!!!
