Question

WHEN SHOULD I COME TO BHI?

Answer

feel free to come whenever you like, make it a vacation! Most rental homes will open up by 3pm on the day of check in. Once you've made your housing reservations, you should book your flights and your tram reservations. Please note the ferry schedule when making your flight reservations. For example, don't book a flight that gets to Wilmington after 10pm because you won't make the last ferry to BHI which is 11pm. Also, don't book an early morning departure flight on Sunday because the earliest you'll be able to get to Wilmington airport is about 9am. We recommend booking afternoon arrival flights and afternoon departure flights. https://www.baldheadisland.com/island/ferry/

Question

HOW DO I GET AROUND ON THE ISLAND?

Answer

Most rental homes come with 1-2 golf carts that you can use throughout your stay. But first you must get to the house, which you will do by taking a free tram from the ferry landing. Each ferry ticket includes a free tram ride to your destination but they do require reservations ahead of time. When you're ready to leave the island, the tram will come pick you up about 30-40 mins prior to your scheduled ferry departure time. You will also need to make reservations for this pick up ahead of time. It is recommended that you make your tram reservations, coming and going, as soon as you've booked your housing. You can make tram reservations by calling 910.457.5003.
