Bimini

On the Bahamian beat

It isn’t just the impossibly neon turquoise water, or the seemingly unperturbed beaches that coyly dance with the waves that make Bimini so enticing. Sitting on the westernmost part of the Bahamian Islands, Bimini is the far less-visited port home to a decidedly more intimate and visceral heartbeat.
Beyond the quiet beach moments or the adrenaline-inducing shark dives, the three islands that unite to make Bimini are drenched in rich cultural history — where the conch is so fresh you taste the path from which you came, natural watering holes are rumored to have the power to heal.

The Musts

What to do in Bimini.

  • Swim with Stingrays

    Meet and swim with Honeymoon Harbour’s stingrays
  • Jet Ski Tour for Two

    Ride a jet ski to wrecks and reefs
  • Bimini Heritage and Cultural Tour

    An interactive historical tour of North Bimini

Swim with Stingrays

Meet the friendliest fish in the harbor: stingrays. You’ll board a boat to cruise out to Honeymoon Harbour to swim with stingrays. Before jumping in the water, you’ll get professional instruction from the stingray pros. Interact with these amazing creatures by swimming alongside as they glide through the water.

Jet Ski Tour for Two

On a jet ski for two, glide along the coast of North and South Bimini Islands. As you tear through the water on your own easy-to-drive jet ski, a guide will take you to old plane and ship wreckage sites — plus, you’ll see mangroves and the gorgeous marine life that call these waters home. Never ridden before? No worries — your guide will show you how to use the controls and give you some tips before you head out. (Or just enjoy the waves from the rear while your partner does all the steering).

Bimini heritage and cultural tour

Experience the island and its rich history with a tour through North Bimini via an open-air tram cart with the Caribbean wind flowing through your hair. A tour guide will take you through the history of the islands, while hitting 6 historical spots and famous favorites along the way.

Shore Excursions

Sapona Shipwreck & Shark Snorkeling

The first stop on this underwater safari is a dive with nurse and reef sharks in a controlled environment at Triangle Rock. The next stop, The Wreck of Sapona, is widely regarded as the most famous dive site in Bimini and is evidence of the island’s storied history.

Discover More Shore Things

So if you’re looking for the hustle and bustle of grand-scale resorts in other Bahamian spots like Nassau — the shipwreck-dotted, wild blue waters and conch shack-lined beaches of Bimini with its small-town feel won’t exactly be up your alley. But that’s by design. And it’s a good thing.

Barely 60 miles away from Miami, Bimini has emphatically prioritized environmental and cultural preservation — and in the process, cultivated a paradise oasis emblematic of the dreamy reputation of the Caribbean islands.
