Getting to the Island
The island is accessible by boat only, so guests must first fly to the nearest island and then take a water taxi! We'd love to help create a hassle free experience for you when making travel arrangements, so we've provided some important tips for planning below.
By Air
First, we'd like to remind you to make sure your passport is up to date and ready for travel. If your passport is in need of renewal, remember this process can sometimes take up to 8 weeks.
We recommend a few suggestions in planning your air travel.
We understand flights to the island may greatly vary in price and travel time depending on a multitude of factors. If you would prefer to book your travels through an agent, please contact Travel Consultant Scott Stout at scott@strongtravel.com or call 214 - 361 - 0027 for assistance.
The airport code for North Eleuthera is ELH - American Airlines, US Airways and Silver Airways all service North Eleuthera, flying through Nassau, Miami or Fort Lauderdale. After arriving in North Eleuthera, Harbour Island is just a cab and water taxi ride away.
By Water
From the airport take a cab to the water taxi dock - make sure to tell the driver you are going to Harbour Island - the cab ride will last about 10 minutes (costing approximately $5.00 per person). Once at the water taxi dock take any water taxi to Harbour Island - this ride will last about 5 minutes (costing approximately $5.00 per person). The water taxi should take you to Three Island Dock (or Governor's Dock) and from there, you can transfer to your hotel.
Once You've Arrived
We strongly suggest everyone pre-arranges for a golf cart, as golf carts are the main mode of transportation while on the island.
