Jump off the S.S. Sapona
Grounded on the banks behind Turtle Rocks by a 1926 hurricane, the S.S. Sapona sits half-exposed in only 18 feet of water. Following her wreck, she served as a staging ground for rum smuggling, late-night parties and target practice for U.S. bombing and strafing runs.
Throughout the years, hurricanes have taken their toll on the ship but she still stands strong. Underwater, she is encrusted with invertebrate life and is a haven for schools of Grunts, Blackbar Soldierfish and numerous other fish. Check under the hull at the stern for resting Nurse Sharks. It is an ideal site for snorkelers, divers and underwater photographers.
Swim with Wild Dolphins
Swimming with dolphins in the wild is incredibly magical. Our ability to instantly connect with these curious and playful marine mammals, on their terms, is so powerful and transformative. The more energetic we become, the more animated the dolphins are in their responses. If we twist and twirl and dive, the dolphins will follow suit, mimicking our every move like a pantomime. It is like dancing with someone you’ve met long ago; it feels so familiar and pure, like being a child again. You cannot miss this experience!

Drink from the Fountain of Youth
One of the oldest historical landmarks in Bimini (and all of the Bahamas) is Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth. While tales of such a fountain have been recounted among indigenous peoples predating the 16th century, the prominent legend credits Leon with the discovery of Bimini’s restorative waters around 1513.
Today, Bimini’s Fountain of Youth sits along the airport road in South Bimini under a scattering of overgrown Kamalame trees and consists of a small limestone well, a short walking path and a few painted benches. A tranquil refuge for birds and passersby, the romanticism surrounding this little haven is certain to make a youthful impression.
Don’t forget to bring an empty bottle! The fountain’s fabled waters make for a priceless Bimini souvenir!
Soak yourself in the Healing Hole
Exploring The Healing Hole by kayak is the ultimate way to get personal with Bimini’s remote landscape and magnificent marine life. Before venturing out too far, be sure to procure some local knowledge regarding tides and currents as the trip can be a little tricky without an experienced guide.
