How Do I Get There?
You can fly directly to Eleuthera from Nassau, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Atlanta and Orlando.
Nassau is the shortest flight (just 20 minutes to Eleuthera) and has the most flights per day, so if you can get to Nassau easily, that may work best for you.
(The Bahamas government also subsidizes many flights in and out of Nassau, so the fares are often advantageous.) Southern Air, Pineapple Air, and Bahamas Air all fly from Nassau to Eleuthera multiple times a day, including flights to Governors Harbour at 8 AM, 12 noon, 3:30 and 4 PM.
IMPORTANT: These flights between Nassau and Eleuthera do not appear on Web sites such as Expedia, so you won’t find them in typical flight searches.
You can view (and book) available flights from all three airlines at once by using the booking engine on this Web page: http://eleutheravacationrentals.net/gettingtoeleuthera.htm.
Just make sure to get to Nassau no later than 2:30 PM, and you’ll be in time to catch the last flight out.
An important tip to breeze through customs in Nassau: There is a separate line if you are going on to Eleuthera, and there is never anyone in that line. To use that line, follow the signs for “Family Island Intransit” and “Family Island Connections”. On your return flight, allow 2-1/2 hours between arriving in Nassau and your departing flight to the U.S. because you will be clearing U.S. customs in Nassau, rather than upon arrival in the U.S. Flights between Nassau and Governors Harbour cost about $75 each way.
