NORTH ELEUTHERA AIRPORT (ELH)

ELH is the closest airport to Harbour Island. It is tiny and rustic, but surprisingly efficient and well organized. There are direct flights into ELH Airport from:

Atlanta ( Delta )

Charlotte ( American )

Fort Lauderdale ( United )

Miami ( American )

From there, it is a five minute taxi and then a five minute boat ride to the main government dock on Harbour Island.

We recommend booking your flights as early as possible, as prices are expected to increase significantly closer to our date.

After landing at ELH, check-in with customs and collect your luggage. Outside the airport, let one of the waiting taxis know that you are heading to Harbour Island. The taxi drivers will know to take you to the ferry dock, and help guide you to where the water taxis are, which depart for Harbour Island every 10 minutes. After a quick 5-minute boat ride, you’ve made it!

Advanced reservations are not necessary for either mode of transportation. Cash (Bahamian or US) is the only form of payment taken for both fares.

Transportation Cost (per person):

$15 one way ($10 land taxi + $5 water taxi)

Bring $40 cash per person to comfortably cover a round trip and any small variances

The ferry staff will help you on and off with your luggage, and the ride itself is quick—about 5 minutes.

Once you arrive at the Government Dock, you can either:

Arrange ahead of time for your golf cart rental to meet you at the dock

Take a taxi to your hotel

Walk if your hotel is nearby

The main mode of transportation on Harbour Island is golf cart. We highly recommend you secure your golf cart as soon as possible. Whether you rent yourself or your hotel concierge helps arrange it for you, it is best to book them ahead of time. You can pick up your golf cart once you arrive, have it dropped at the main dock, or have the rental company leave it at your house/hotel upon arrival.

Please note, on Harbour Island they drive on the left side of the road.
