Absolutely. Bimini is not your average beach trip. It’s where Ernest Hemingway wrote, where pirates hid treasure, and where the waters are so vibrant they look photoshopped. You’ll find swimming pigs, shipwrecks, and the famous “Healing Hole” that’s rumored to have magical minerals.
Imagine sipping a rum punch while the sun melts into the ocean. That memory will be worth every cent of your passport fee. Plus, you’ll feel like a global explorer, even if it’s just a 45-minute flight from Florida.
What if you forget your passport? Don’t panic.
If you’re already in Miami and realize your passport is sitting on your kitchen counter, you have options. You could expedite a same-day passport at a regional agency (if you have an appointment). Or you could hop on a cruise—some closed-loop cruises to the Bahamas accept just a birth certificate and ID.

But for Bimini specifically, a cruise ship is your backup plan. Just remember: even cruises are tightening their rules, and a passport is still the safest bet.
