About the Island & Accommodations
Your Home on Bimini for The Week
Just a 25 minute charter plane ride from Fort Lauderdale, the horseshoe-shaped island is small, funky and friendly. Bimini is a world of it's own. The favorite seaside hideaway of Ernest Hemingway, some also say Bimini is home to the ancient Lost City of Atlantis. You will have the opportunity to feel the energy that is still there and snorkel above the giant stones this civilization left behind.
​
​​​​​​​We will be staying at the Wild Quest retreat center, which sits bay-side, in the friendly, Caribbean ‘funky’ fishing village of Porgy Bay, North Bimini. Stunning beaches are just a minute’s walk away. The retreat center is light, airy, and spacious, offering the perfect spot to relax and chill out after a day on the ocean. Enjoy a comfortably functional environment (rather than luxurious) stay, suited to the laid back vibe of the island.
​
On the Retreat Center’s doorstep, nature treats us to a splendid sunrise every morning overlooking the bay, where our sailboat/catamaran, Dolphin Quest, is moored. This gorgeous vessel has a bathroom on board and wide, low steps in the back that make it easy to get in and out of the water.
