Bimini, Bahamas Featured Excursions

 

Resort World Beachfront Cabanas

Lounge in luxury at Resorts World Bimini. Hop on an open-air tram and reach the beautiful and exclusive Bimini Beach where your welcome drink awaits. What better way to enjoy paradise than to retreat to the privacy of your own beachfront cabana which offers panoramic views of the turquoise ocean. Choose to spend the day in the privacy of your own cabana or take advantage of the beach amenities: cozy sun chairs, umbrellas, day beds, clam-shell chairs, hammocks as well as pools. Drinks and food are available for purchase directly from your cabana. At your leisure, jump back on the open-air tram and explore Resorts World Hotel and Casino where your exclusive access to the pools and hotel amenities continues. Swim-up to the bar at the Oasis ground floor pool and enjoy your favorite cocktail without ever stepping foot outside the water. Visit Monkey Business, the stunning adults-only rooftop pool with panoramic views of Bimini Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the fifth-floor of the hotel. Don’t forget to make a pit-stop at Fisherman’s Village where you will find souvenirs at The Reef, gelato at Amicci’s and live Bahamian inspired music at Healing Hole.

Reef Shark Snorkeling Adventure

Experience the thrill of snorkeling a reef that sharks inhabit or, if you are more comfortable, watch these ominous-looking creatures through the glass bottom of a boat. While cruising to the reef on a 45-foot catamaran, you will learn about the sharks and what to expect once you are in the water.  The guide will lead the way to a vantage point that will allow you to observe the reef sharks in their natural habitat, but without disturbing them. If you’re not quite that adventurous, stay on board and just watch through the catamaran’s glass-bottom viewing windows. Either way, you will have plenty to talk about while enjoying a cup of icy-cold rum punch and listening to Caribbean-style music on the return cruise.
