Bimini, Bahamas Port Reviews

NO EXCURSION-= the tram will take you from the ship to the strew market or free beach. We went to the Strew market and walked across the street to the beach (free) there is food for sale and drinks but the beach is beautiful and the shells are big and plentiful fun to find but remember to leave your finds they can not go back onto the boat. THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST DAY!!!!!

Did not do an excursion, went to the beach taking a taxi. It's a quiet island not much to do other than go to the beach, eat, and buy souvenirs.

Jelly fish everywhere. Went to the beach. They wanted $60 for 2 chairs. I said no thanks. It was hot and couldn’t get in the water because of all the jelly fish and no shade. Went back to the ship and hung by the pool. There is NOTHING on Bimini!

This port had only been taking Cruise ships for 4 weeks by the time we were there. Since we were visiting the port on the second of the B2B, we just explored. We took the free tram, which was great. It stops at 4 locations, the Casino and 3 beaches, then loops back to the pier. It was maybe 20 minutes for the loop though the accommodate what is needed, so not on a strict schedule. There are multiple trams so not really much of a wait. After that, we took a taxi to "downtown". $5 each. There isn't really a downtown, just 4 shops selling souvenirs. I guess if you want items that say "Bimini" this is the only place to get them. This is a good stop for Radio beach. The water looked super clear. There are chairs for rent along with a beach bar and assorted deep fried food. On the taxi ride back, the driver Anita Harris took us on a brief history - sight seeing tour of the island. She did not ask for any additional money, but I did tip her. She works for Harmonia which is a taxi and vehicle rental company on the island. She wanted me to pass her contact number, and hope it is appropriate 1-242-802-8110. The island is new to the large cruise ships so I suspect it will develop more. On our second trip to the island the following week, we just took the tram to the last stop, which was the public beach. I would say it was clearer than HMC and just as calm. Needless to say, it was nice. The chairs are for rent, but too expensive in my opinion. Food options are limited, but there are some water toys to rent, if interested.

Another T shirt stop with Diamonds International, etc. Not much else. Everyone was exceptionally friendly, and helpful. For the first time in my life, the cab driver did not try to rip me off! Only about 10 shops in a small cluster 'in town'. Not much here except beaches, beach chairs, and umbrellas.

Very rustic. Not as touristy as Nassau. Not as manicured, but that is part of it’s rustic charm. Highly recommend shark snorkeling experience. After the snorkeling tour, we took a cab to “downtown.” Cab ride was $5 per person. Ate a superb lunch at Big John’s. Water view seating. Large portions, consider sharing. BRING PLENTY OF CASH! Credit cards not accepted. Took short walk to Radio Beach which is public. Take a left and go all the way down toward the trees for natural shade. There was a small coral reef right there to snorkel with plenty of fish. The water was crystal clear! We brought our own beach mat. There are chairs and umbrellas to rent and food and drinks nearby. Cab ride back to ship. Another $20 for the 4 of us. There are golf carts to rent for $60/day. Looking forward to going back one day.

From the ship there was a short walk to the transportation that dropped you off at whatever location you chose for the day. Our excursion was Beach 360. The beach was beautiful but drinks and food was very pricey. Drinks were all $21, so we enjoyed our day and ate and drank when we got back to the ship. The water was beautiful, a few jelly fish came around but they didn’t bother anybody.

I have never been there before, never even heard of it. Another beautiful place, I would like to go to again

The most beautiful water in the entire Caribbean! A laid back gem that is near and dear to our hearts!!

Nothing really to do here just a beach day!
