    Bimini, Bahamas Cruise Port – 5 Things We Learned!



    Sailing with Holland America Zuiderdam, we had limited time in Bimini, Bahamas. But we discovered some great things with our tour with Bimini Island Tours, discovering Radio Beach, conch salad, and much more. Here’s 5 things we learned in North Bimini to make your next cruise trip a little easier!

    The Port Lowdown offers detailed and fun videos about cruise ports and destinations, helping independent, budget-minded travelers save time and money. We found that many videos lack the details we needed, such as parking, restrooms, available services, and even sidewalk quality. We act as your “port scout”, providing first-hand reports on essential information that others overlook; our videos cover port terminals, independent excursions, goods, services, transportation and even ship tours. With time ticking away during your port visit, we understand the importance of sound planning to make every moment count.

    Let us give you the Lowdown!

      Big thanks to Port Lowdown for their positive view of the island of Bimini! It's fantastic to see them recognizing the importance of using a local guide like Max from Bimini Island Tours. Truly adds depth and authenticity to their content. Keep up the great work!

      Places like this I would not like to visit on a cruise. I think I would like to take a flight and head straight there because as exciting and fun as cruises are, they can give your mind a false impression of vacation locations and make it look too small to spend a week long vacation. A vacation is supposed to be a time to kick back and relax your mind and body, not a time to do as much as possible in a limited time, which is the mind frame you get into when you port at places while on a cruise. On a cruise you really don't have the time to absorb all the location has to offer you, because you're on a specific pace that is not set by you, and you have to get moving with the crowd, and be back on ship with everyone. Really not what your well earned vacation should be. The Caribbean is a paradise that GOD has given us, and it's big enough for us all. Let's slow down, and ease our minds, and take it all in slowly. It's good for our health 🙂

      Thank for the info. This the first trip we are taking our children on. And we can not really afford the expensive cruise excursions. I figured we could rent a taxi or small vehicle just to take them to a beach that’s close by.

      We paid $140 for a golf cart and had a blast running up and down and went to 3 different beaches. Good times and conch is pretty tasty

      Thank you for the absolutely provide video… Thank you for holding the camera still🤣😂 I am glad you profiled Bimini because I truly believe it is a diamond in the rough underappreciated little island. Absolutely new subscriber thank you.

      Great video. I just went last week. We did an eight hour day on a cruise. This island is so perfect for that. We rented a golf cart ($120 – didn't have reverse) and stayed to the right away from resorts. We snorkeled around the point and the ship wreck. It's the clearest water I've ever seen on earth. Later I also rented a jet ski (well worth it). If I could throw in one thing. Have lunch or a meal at the big game dock. The food was really good and there's big bull sharks swimming around on the dock. I counted at least four along with some nurse sharks and other big fish. I think someone feeds them from the dock so they are kind of residence. This is one Island I can't wait to go back to! Truly the perfect day. Enjoyed the video. Thank you!

      great video, I was pretty much sold on renting a golf cart but having a private tour guide that is actually from the island is very appealing, I love to explore the history of everywhere I go and being able to just listen to a local reflect on their life their is about as good as it gets

      First time on MSC, boarding in a week from now, when MSC cruise is at Ocean Cay, is Bimini beach exclusive for upgraded passengers? or its for anyone that is one MSC cruise passengers? I will like to book a golf cart too to get there as well. I`m able to book it online?

      I would like to go to the Bimini Islands to see where they filmed the last scene for the movie The Silence of the Lambs. Any information you could provide for this I would greatly appreciate it

      I love Bimini! My dad finally invited me for the first time last year (he's been going for 20+ years). His buddy has a condo at Bimini Cove on the south island, and we stayed on another friends yacht in the bay. Got around the island on the e-bikes the yacht-owner had. Can't wait to go back again

      This would be a cool vacation spot. An island so tropical but still so small you could walk the entire island in a day. Beaches look amazing as well. I wonder if they have any freediving locations.
