Flight and travel arrangements to Florida are the volunteers responsibility.
Dr. Gruber will arrange a chartered flight with Bimini Island Air (Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport) to Bimini with every new group of volunteers.
If arriving to Bimini from Nassau, Bahamas it is the volunteers responsibility to arrange all flights.
Hotel reservations for time spent in Florida, prior to departure to Bimini, must be booked by the volunteer. A few hotels and hostels are available within the vicinity of Bimini Island Air (See recommended list below).
