Bimini was beautiful. Boat ride was a little rough due to the Weather. Boat was comfortable tho. ***Booking through Viator was more than double the price of going directly with the ferry service.
the crew on the ship were fantastic. boarding and registration went smooth and organized. seats were nice. able to recline a bit. once on the island, be prepared.. the resort area is clean and very modern, once off the resort the residents live in modest and meager ways. I felt safe the entire time.. going to see the dolphin house is a must!
