Bimini Island Tours is a Bailey Town-based operator offering a range of boat-based experiences around North Bimini and Bimini Bay. The company runs guided snorkeling trips to local reefs such as Rainbow Reef and Three Sisters Rocks, exploratory visits to the historic Sapona shipwreck, snorkeling excursions to the mysterious Bimini Road, and relaxing East Wells sand bar and beach picnics.
The operator also provides sunset cruises, swimming and tanning stops at Radio Beach, and private charter options that can be tailored to group preferences. For guests who prefer to captain their own outing, Bimini Island Tours offers boat rentals including a 22-foot SeaVenture pontoon with safety gear and a 30-foot double-decker pontoon with two-level seating and sunbathing space. Half-day and full-day rental options are available for these vessels.
Tours are guided by local captains familiar with Bimini’s reefs, wreck sites, and sand bars. Safety equipment is provided on rental boats, and itineraries often include snorkeling environments known for turtles, tropical fish, reef sharks, and occasional dolphins. Bimini Island Tours is featured on The Adventure Collective, where the company’s trip options are listed for visitors researching activities in Bimini. The business focuses on delivering clear, boat-based access to Bimini’s marine attractions and flexible charter or rental options for visitors arriving in Bailey Town.
