Getting in

• North Eleuthera Airport: The best arrival point for North Eleuthera, Harbour Island and Spanish Wells; it has the most flights. For Harbour Island, take a short taxi to the dock east of the airport, then a water taxi (about 10 minutes; a commonly quoted fare is about US$5 each way). For anywhere else on Eleuthera, arrange a rental-car pickup in advance—local rental operators will often meet arriving flights. It is 15–20 minutes by road north of Gregory Town.
• Governor’s Harbour Airport: The sensible airport for central Eleuthera. It is just south of James Cistern and roughly 10–15 minutes’ drive from Governor’s Harbour. Pre-arrange a local rental car or taxi; there is no bus into town and no chain-rental desk to rely on. Taxi rates are negotiated, so confirm the fare before setting off.
• Rock Sound Airport: Use RSD if staying in South Eleuthera—otherwise its location can turn a short flight into a long, expensive road transfer. Arrange a rental-car pickup or taxi before arrival; there is no public transport. Flights from Nassau are under 30 minutes, while flights from South Florida are about an hour.
• Bahamas Ferries docks at Governor’s Harbour, Spanish Wells and Harbour Island: Ferries are useful only if their sailing day and dock match your base. From the Spanish Wells or Harbour Island side, expect to combine ferry/water taxi with a road taxi or rental car; the islands are not connected by a walkable transport network. Do not assume a ferry arrival solves onward travel—book or at least contact your ground transport first.
