Farrell & Erik

Flights + Lodging + Car + What to Pack

Hi Friends & Family! Thank you for considering the journey to get to the remote, beautiful island of Eleuthera. Eleuthera is a hidden gem that has some of the best beaches in the world. Please remember it is the exact opposite from Nassau/Atlantis (tourist traps) :) and that's what makes it so awesome. This is true, remote island style. To make your travel easy, please see our recommended tips. Please let us know where you will be staying and which airport you will be flying in to. When making reservations, please note that Erik and I will be in Governor's Harbour at the Squires Estate. You may want to stay close within the vicinity as most of the festivities will be happening here! Please note: you will need a rental car and we recommend renting with friends. (sry - no ubers here!) The roads can be rough to drive on. If you are renting a car, please keep in mind that all rental cars on the island are older and well used! ;) If you can PLEASE RSVP to us by February 1. THANK YOU!!

House Or Rental

Squires Estate

Governor's Harbour, North Eleuthera, Bahamas
 

This is where Erik and Farrell + close family/some of the wedding party are staying. There is NO ROOM BLOCK as these are individual cottages. First come, first served! The beautiful estate is where the Wedding Reception will be held. We highly recommend finding one of the homes you love on the Estate and renting with friends. Each home comes with WiFi, fridge, TV + many more amenities. There is a grocery store, coffee shop, bank and other places down the hill, walking distance from the property. We recommend guests stop at the grocery on the way in, stock their fridge, pack a cooler for the beach/pool and enjoy the stay on the island!

Travel Note

What to Pack

What to Pack/Bring: *PASSPORT! *A NEGATIVE COVID TEST! You will need this as proof of entry into the country before traveling 10-days prior. Please stay up to date on travel regulations as they are changing. *A MASK! Most places will require a mask for entry but then you can remove it. *A go with the flow perspective! Literally, most things on the island will rarely go as planned. Cash - US dollars are accepted. Most places are cash only. The island is 1/3 more expensive than normal US pricing, please be aware of this when budgeting for your trip. There is an ATM in Governors Harbour. Beach Bag Sunscreen Bug spray* Sunglasses Flip flops / crocs (lol) Snorkel Gear/Diving Gear (if you plan to snorkel or dive :) you can also rent from the dive shop in Governors Harbour. Frozen Meat - this may sound strange but Eleuthera has to import most of its meat. If you are staying a week +, we recommend checking a cooler (yes, you can do this!) with meat for grilling / whatever you want to do.

AirBNB

If you wish to stay some place that we have not listed, please use AirBNB to look on the island. Any other island - such as Harbour Island, will require a ferry rental to get to Eleuthera. The ferry stops running late afternoon. Please use google maps to research where you are looking! We recommend AirBnBs in Governors Harbour.

Flight

North Eleuthera Airport (ELH)

There are only 3 airports on Eleuthera Island. For North Eleuthera Airport (the biggest): ELH airport is situated near the Harbour Island in the north. This airport has the most flight options, so it is worth checking out. We've flown United, Silver Airways and Delta both with connections in Ft. Lauderdale and Atlanta before arriving to ELH. It is about 35/40 minutes from the Squires Estate. This is where we will be flying in. Car rental companies will meet you at any airport but you MUST call before you arrive. *We recommend booking flights as soon as possible as there are very few flights into Eleuthera each day.*

Flight

Governor's Harbour Airport (GHB)

This airport is situated just north of the Governor’s Harbour and is a short 15 minute drive away from The Squires Estate. *We recommend booking flights as soon as possible as there are very few flights into Eleuthera each day.*

Flight

NASSAU Airport (a cheaper option)

If you don't wish to fly directly to Eleuthera Island, you can fly to Nassau. Once at Nassau, you will need to make reservations on one of three local carriers (Bahamas Air, Pineapple Air and Southern Air). You will need to book the smaller charter prior to landing in Nassau. All three airlines fly to Eleuthera Island and there are regular scheduled services for the 20 minute flight in the morning, afternoon and evening. *note: if you do not like flying, this option may not be for you! It is a small plane that does not go above 10,000 ft.! www.pineappleair.com www.southernaircharter.com www.bahamasair.com
