Fly into South Bimini Airport (BIM) on a confirmed commercial or charter itinerary, then arrange a ground leg plus the local ferry to North Bimini if staying in Alice Town. North Bimini also has a seaplane entry point (NSB); the Bahamas tourism board promoted Tropic Ocean Airways Fort Lauderdale services in 2026, but individual dates and operating patterns require direct checking. Do not assume any carrier or route operates daily.
Balearia Caribbean markets passenger service between Fort Lauderdale and Bimini. Check the actual Bimini sailing, port terminal, Customs/Immigration check-in requirements, luggage/gear allowance and current weather. The government tourism timetable is indicative and says schedules can change. A Florida-based same-day tour may be possible for ordinary sightseeing when an actual booking exists, but it must not be presented as a practical one-day scuba plan.
An island stay lets you book specific day boats, hold a bad-weather spare day and respect preflight surface intervals. The core local dive hub is Alice Town/North Bimini. Grand Bahama, Tiger Beach and Cat Island are separate destinations, not Bimini local-dive sites.
Alice Town on North Bimini is compact enough for walks in appropriate conditions. Golf-cart rentals and local taxis are used for longer North Bimini moves, but confirm licensed access, age limits and pickup rules.
