Link to book a Bimini Day trip from Fort Lauderdale Day Trip to Bimini
My full day-trip itinerary for the explorers:
-As soon as you get off the ferry, you will walk through customs to the FREE Hilton Shuttle (do NOT walk)
-Ask the shuttle driver to take you to the golf cart lot OR walk from the Hilton to the golf cart lot (you pass it on the way to the Hilton)
-Rent a golf cart (barter for under $100! I got mine for $80), check that it has GAS, and then remember the driving rules of LEFT HAND DRIVING
I DON’T RECOMMEND TRYING TO WALK OR TAXI AROUND THE ISLAND DURING A DAY TRIP BECAUSE YOU WILL WASTE TIME DARLING!!! AND TIME THERE IS PRECIOUS BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE 5-6 HOURS!!!
-Head to Stuart’s Conch Shack for a conch salad on the water ($10)
-Drive down to Radio Beach and enjoy the crystal blue water
-Take a break from having your Ariel moment and get a spiked coconut smoothie on the beach ($20)
-Get hungry and head to Nate’s Bimini Bread for some delicious Sweet Coconut Rolls ($10)
-Get HUNGRIER and go for an actual meal and head to This is It for Haitian Food or LJ’s for Jamaican
-Head towards Bimini Bay and stop at Joe’s Conch Shack for conch fritters
-Stop at 360 Beach Club, Resorts World Bimini Beach, and enjoy the pool, bar, and aesthetic environment (if you’re into that because it’s also ~$40 for a day pass)
-Kiss the island goodbye, return your golf cart and wait for the shuttle to pick you up before you depart back to Fort Lauderdale!
My recommendations:
Bring cash (USD and Bahamian Dollar have same value but BHD is prettier)! I brought $180 and only spent $125.
Don’t depend on taxi’s because they can be far and wide.
CHECK the weather because a sunny day is better than a rainy day.
Try local spots (don’t just spend the day at a resort because you will miss out!)
It was a bit pricey for certain things, especially the coconut, but overall an amazing experience!
