Private seaplane charter from Miami to Bimini, Bahamas, where you'll stay two nights at a luxury beach resort
Escape by Seaplane to Bahamian Isle
About 50 miles off Florida’s Atlantic coast, the tiny island of Bimini marks the westernmost point of the Bahamian archipelago. Scores of sailboats and sportfishers dock at Bimini each season, and a few commercial planes touch down at the island's small airport. But to arrive here in truly memorable fashion, there's no better ride than a seaplane. Miami Seaplane Tours’ two-night seaplane-charter package lets you experience the thrill of flying to and from Bimini in a Cessna 172 Seahawk, with two nights of accommodations at Bimini Bay Resort.
The adventure begins at Miami Seaplane Tours’ headquarters, where you’ll don a headset to practice your Alpha Bravo Charlies. You’ll get a nice aerial view of The Magic City’s skyline and beaches as the plane heads east on a 35-minute flight to North Bimini Seaplane Base.
The resort’s rows of pastel townhouses line a narrow strip on the edge of a sheltered bay. The spacious garden-view rooms feature oversize couches and granite countertops, and overlook the water and tropical gardens from private terraces. Steps away, the infinity pool appears to spill into the Atlantic—an optical illusion enhanced by a cocktail or two from the swim-up bar. After a day of beachcombing or tennis on the hotel’s courts, you can grab pizza and gelato at Amicci’s Pizzeria or enjoy a romantic waterfront dinner at Sabor.
Bimini, Bahamas: Fishing, Diving, and Nature Tours
Bimini Island is renowned for deep-sea fishing and scuba diving, and the resort caters to both through its resident tour operator, Bimini Undersea. Morning and afternoon excursions also depart from the dive shop close to the hotel. Daytrip destinations include the lush mangrove forests that fringe the island, submerged-shipwreck dive sites brimming with tropical fish, and Ernest Hemingway’s former home, where he famously challenged Gertrude Stein to a thumb war. The most unique tour option might be Bimini Undersea’s Wild Dolphin Adventure, which will give you a chance to swim with the island’s resident pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins.

About Two-Night Seaplane-Charter Package
Miami’s azure beaches and kaleidoscopic cityscapes beckon eyes downward as Miami Seaplane Tours’ DeHavilland Beaver skirts across the horizon. With more than 20 years of experience, pilot flies jet-setting adventurers above Miami in the renovated interior of their DeHavilland Beaver. The aerodynamically enhanced craft now offers three distinct seaplane tours, ranging in length from 15 minutes to one hour. Passengers soak in panoramic views of downtown Miami’s hotels, beaches, and mansions, or sail over the soiree of Fort Lauderdale. Tours can also glide north of the city, all the while dodging clouds and errant beach frisbees thrown by Dan Marino.
