Although our program is based in the Bahamas, you’ll need to get to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where you will spend a night before flying over to Bimini on a small island plane.
Please also check if you need to have a visa upon entry to the US.
Arrange your travel to Fort Lauderdale Airport or nearby Miami Airport in Florida. Arrive anytime on the first day (Sunday). Fares are sometimes lower if you fly on a Saturday, (arriving a day earlier).
The first night, Sunday night, we meet and stay at The Bahia Mar Beach Resort and Yachting Center right on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, (we can arrange extra days there if you wish to arrive earlier, or leave later).
The next morning we take the 25 minute flight to Bimini together. There will be a shuttle bus to bring you to the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport for plane departure.
After checking into your rooms in Bimini and having your first island breakfast we go out on the boat to meet the dolphins and play in the warm Caribbean ocean.

You will return to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, arriving around 11am.
If you plan to arrive in Miami or Fort Lauderdale a day earlier or stay longer after the program and explore Florida and the Keys we can help you with hotel accommodation.
Fort Lauderdale Airport is closest to the hotel, about a 15 minute taxi ride. Many budget airlines fly into here including: Southwest, Spirit, Jet Blue, Air Tran, America West and most of the large carriers.
We fly to the island and return by island plane from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. If you are returning home via Miami Airport, it is approximately a 1-2 hour shuttle bus ride from the hotel.
When you make your reservation we will give you
more information about the island plane.
Travel responsibly:
Climate change is a serious environmental threat, and air travel is the fastest-growing contributor to the problem.
We all have a responsibility to limit our personal impact on global warming.
To play our part in tackling climate change, we have teamed up with
Climate Care to offset our greenhouse gas emissions.
The buttons below offer further program details Climate Care is a service that helps you to repair the damage your activities do to the climate. It does this by ‘offsetting’ the greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2, from your activities by reducing an equivalent amount of CO2 on your behalf.
These reductions are made through a range of projects in renewable energy and energy efficiency, which not only fight climate change but bring benefits to communities round the world. You can offset emissions from flying, driving and household energy use.

It's really easy (and secretly, it's pretty interesting too). Select your points of departure and arrival. The calculator will display your emissions from this flight and the amount of money you should contribute. Amazing.
