Shared Island Bike Tour in Bailey Town

Eclipse Bicycle Rentals & Tours is great!

We came into Bimini on a Virgin Cruise. It was our last day and I really wanted to do a bike ride because my wife and I had been there 40 years ago and really wanted to see the part of the island south of the cruise ship port. By the time we were able to sign up for shore excursions everything was full. I went to my Tripadvisor app and found Eclipse Bicycle Rentals and Tours in walking distance of the cruise ship port. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical at first as no one was there and the building was a small structure like you would buy from Home Depot for a tool shed. There were several bikes under a tarp outside. Soon a van arrived with the lady that ran the business and our tour guide, Marcus. We got our relatively new looking bikes and headed south with Marcus in the lead. Marcus has been on the island most of his life and he knows it quite well and everyone knows Marcus! He first took us to a place for a fresh conch salad that they made out of a conch we picked out, and a beer. After that we kept heading south with Marcus pointing our points of interest along the way. We saw the site of the former awesome Hemingway haunt and bar, The Compleat Angler, destroyed by fire in 2006. Marcus pointed out land owned by the Jack Daniels family, and we went to the end of the island and saw a shipwreck and the channel between Bimini and South Bimini. On the way back we stopped at a restaurant for conch fritters and a Goombay Smash! We then went to a place called The Dolphin House for a tour by the owner and builder. The house is completely made of recycled materials and has to be seen and toured to believe! The tour took about three hours and was a blast! Marcus is a great tour guide and I highly recommend this tour.
