To flee absolutely! total anarchy! we went there with my parents , the announcement said that everything was suitable for people in wheelchairs, that's wrong! they supposedly give you access to the pool of a hotel that's not true either , there is nothing to do there except to be bored for hours , no restaurants are open! nor shops and moreover all the staff of the boat is unpleasant to the possible
Bonjour Madame Fardoux. Nous sommes sincèrement désolés d'apprendre que vous n'avez pas apprécié votre séjour aux Bahamas. Nous regrettons également les difficultés rencontrées avec la patrouille frontalière en raison de l'absence des documents de voyage requis pour un trajet international.
This was a great excursion. The only issues I had aboard the ferry was hearing the announcement and being able to charge phone. Travelers should be aware to bring a sweater for the cold A/C.
Thank you so much for your awesome 5star rating. We appreciate the honest feedback regarding the ferry announcements and charging ports; we're always looking for ways to improve the guest experience and will look into these technical details. Also, thank you for the "pro-tip" about the A/C—bringing a sweater is definitely the best way to stay cozy while we transit! Best regards, Vincent
The lack of communication was ridiculous. It was for my friend‘s birthday and honestly, we both agreed that this was not a trip to even remember. We paid for a golf cart on the ferry and they told us to return it by 4:30 PM the latest and yet around 2 PM. The golf cart handler raced us down on the island and told us to return the golf cart because they are closed. when booking the trip it said that it was from 6 AM to 6 PM but in reality it was from 11 AM to 8:30 PM…. it is very misleading because we had to check in by 7 AM and we did not leave until 9 AM and then we left Bimini around 6:30 PM and did not return until after 8 o’clock. There was really nothing to do in Bimini other than drink and eat food. The locals there were nice, but they also lacked communication and did not know how to direct people correctly and it hundred percent seems that they were not in correlation with the ferry or anybody who was at the cruise port in regards to what the cruise port or ferry stated about what was happen on the island compared to what the local stated after two hours of being on the island I was already ready to report back since we didn’t have the golf cart for the whole trip. We had no choice after dropping it off, but to return back on the boat and wait until it was time to come back and we notice other people did the same as well as other people were upset about, not having the golf cart for the full-time that was promised if I’m able to get a refund for this whole trip I would love one because it was not worth $600 considering the fact that also on the ferry there is no Wi-Fi someone that works on the ferry stated that the Wi-Fi does not work for $600. I believe that food should’ve been included and yet it was not regardless if it’s a two hour ferry ride and back I will never go to Bimini again because of this.
Hello Shania Thompson, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that you didn't receive your tour confirmation. Our records indicate a message was sent 24 hours prior to the start time, and we regret any communication gap. Please note that we do not offer optional activities directly; we recommend contacting the golf cart provider for further assistance with those arrangements. Best regards, Vincent
YOU DO NOT NEED TO ARRIVE at 6am. It’s just a suggestion. Why come to the terminal at 6am for a 9am departure? Where’s the option for select early boarding? What a colossal waste of valuable time.
Dear Celia Silvia, We are so sorry you failed to follow the check in instructions and therefore arrived at the wrong time. It’s always a good idea to check your tour confirmation. Best regards, Vincent
It was worth the money but I ran into a problem on them emailing the last email that included a number that they needed in order for me to get on the ship. It took forever to get it fixed. Got on the sip 30 minutes before it was scheduled to leave.
Hi there: Thanks for your awesome review and your feedback. Your confirmation number for tour check in is located on the top of your tour voucher or invoice. Best regards, Vincent
The best trip ever and affordable. Nice staff, good food. Wonderful island taken too . The boat rode was not super long but long enough to make new friends aboard
Thank you for your awesome review, we are glad you enjoyed the Bahamas experience. Best regards, Vincent
Amazing!!! Get there at 6am. Follow directions. Get the Bimini Beach Club excursion!!!! Pools, beach, bars, food and DJ! Watersports are available, just ask! Went jetskiing right off the beach!

This was the worst! Your guide never replied to my sending passports and Viator over booked with tour. Never I repeat never book if you cannot reach guide. They took my 600 and never returned even though I did everything to contact to be able to get things provided . No one answers and viator handled horribly. After driving 4 hours for a tour I had to pay out of pocket again for a. No show ticket . So there was indeed time for them to still book my tour I sent over the passport details 72 hours before tour and no response . Viator handled this the worst of all
Dear Ms. Shante Kelly: We are so sorry you failed to produce your passports in a timely manner and therefore were denied travel. Passport information is mandatory for International travel from the USA to the Bahamas. Best regards, Vincent BR1257522459

Hi there: Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you had an unpleasant experience based on the fact that you failed to bring your passports despite valid passports being mandatory for International travel to the Bahamas.
