GETTING TO THE BAHAMAS

FLY INTO NORTH ELEUTHERA (ELH)

  • The easiest way to reach Harbour Island is by flying into North Eleuthera Airport (ELH)

  • There are several convenient ways to reach North Eleuthera from the US:

    • American Airlines: Fly via Miami (MIA) or Charlotte (CLT)

    • Delta: Fly via Atlanta (ATL)

  • We recommend booking flights early as flights will book up

GETTING TO HARBOUR ISLAND

  • From the airport, the journey to Harbour Island is straightforward:

  1. Land at North Eleuthera Airport (ELH)

  2. Take a short cab ride (~5 mins) to the dock (cabs will be lined up outside of the airport)

  3. Hop on a quick (~5-10 mins) water taxi across the harbor (water taxis will be waiting at the dock)

  4. Arrive on Harbour Island at either Valentine’s or Government Dock

  5. Arrange to pick up your golf cart at either dock and it will be waiting for you

  • The entire journey from airport to Harbour Island typically takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on timing and connections.

  • It may sound complicated but we promise it isn’t! Once you land, there will be a very clear flow of people and locals to guide you from airport to cab to water taxi to Harbour Island

  • The water taxi will take you to Governor’s Dock ($5) or Valentine’s ($10), but candidly they are about 100 yards from each so either option either works just fine

  • Once you arrive, you can grab a golf cart and you’re officially on island time!

REMINDER! Don’t forget your passport and some USD - your cab and water taxi will charge a fee per head and only accept cash.

STAYING ON harbour island

We encourage guests to stay on Harbour Island. We recommend using our travel agent for help when booking: Charlotte Said (charlotte@loudelissertravel.com).

ACCOMMODATIONS

  • There are accommodations for every type of traveler, from hotels and boutique properties to private homes and vacation rentals

  • We recommend booking as soon as you can confirm your attendance, and suggest looking at any of the following depending on your desired accommodations:

    • Hotels and boutique resorts (Coral Sands, The Dunmore, Pink Sands, Valentine’s, and Rock House are a few favorites) 

    • Vacation rental homes

    • Airbnb and VRBO properties

  • A quick note on location: Harbour Island is small, so you don’t need to overthink exactly where you’re staying. Once you’re on the island, everything is just a short golf cart ride away. The Hotels on the East Side of the Island offer the easiest access to the famous Pink Sand beaches, but they can easily be accessed no matter where you’re staying.

TRANSPORTATION

  • We recommend guests book golf carts to easily access the whole island!

  • Part of the charm of Harbour Island is how small and accessible it is! At just about 3 miles long from tip to tip, there are almost no cars on the Island and it is primarily navigated by golf cart or on foot

  • We encourage guests to book a golf cart via one of the many rental companies (Lulu’s, Kiplin, Conch & Coconut, and Dunmore Rentals amongst others). Like accommodations, we recommend moving quickly once your schedule has been finalized

  • Typically, once booked, the rental company will work with you to deliver the golf cart to Governor’s Dock or Valentine’s and have it waiting upon your arrival
