3.From Miami: Bimini or Grand Bahama Day Trip by Ferry

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 299 reviews · 15 hours · from $284

Take a same-day ferry from Port Everglades to either Bimini or Grand Bahama. You get free time for beaches, swimming, snorkelling, stingray encounters, jet skis, golf-cart hire, or Crystal Beach and its swimming pigs. Bring your passport, arrive before the 7:30 AM check-in cutoff, and confirm which island your date includes.

“I wouldn't know about the activity because the ferry was cancelled. I arrived at the Ft. L port and no one was there. I called the number and it went straight to voicemail where I was told to send an email, which I did and also left a voicemail to call me back ASAP. A security guard told us that the ferry was leaving from the Port of Miami so we went there. After we confirmed the ferry was not leaving from the Port of Miami with the local personnel, I received a text showing an email from 3 Feb stating the ferry was cancelled. I never received the email…”

4.Maalaea: West Maui Snorkeling & Sailing Day Trip with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 210 reviews · from $200Top rated

Sail Maui’s five-hour catamaran trip leaves Maalaea Harbor for West Maui or Lanai, depending on sea conditions. You’ll snorkel at one or more reef sites, look for turtles, fish, dolphins, and seasonal humpback whales, then enjoy breakfast, buffet lunch, and an open bar. The crew may include captains Chase, Ron, or Patrick.

“Really enjoyed the trip. The crew was fabulous and very helpful and patient with all the guest. We had a nice sail to a very pretty spot to swim and snorkel. I have been on numerous sail trips and this ranked as one of the best. I cannot say enough how great the crew was. The boat was clean and there was enough room for everyone to stretch out. I will definitely book with Sail Maui in the future.”
