FAQs
Question
Do I need a passport to go?
Answer
Yes! The Bahamas requires a passport that has an expiration date no less than 6 months before your date of arrival. Please make sure you have your up-to-date passport ready to go!
Question
What currency do they use?
Answer
The Bahamian dollar and the USD are both used on the islands. They have an equal exchange rate and can be used interchangeably. We recommend bringing cash with you for taxis, food, tips, etc.
Question
What should I pack?
Answer
Your passport and driver’s license are a must. We recommend bringing a bug repellant and bug bite relief cream, and SUNSCREEN (looking at you, New Englanders). It shouldn’t be especially hot in April but you should still pack for tropical weather. And of course bring a swimsuit!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
As much as we love your little ones, we kindly request an adults-only celebration. We hope you'll use this as a chance for a mini getaway - so that all guests can relax and enjoy themselves.

Question
What’s the best way to get around?
Answer
We highly recommend renting a car. There will be shuttle services to and from the events but if you want to explore the island on your own you will need your own transportation. Taxis can be pricy and Uber/Lyft does not exist!
Question
What about food?
Answer
There are lots of grocery stores and restaurants on the island for you to try the local cuisine! Keep in mind however that because it is an island, everything is imported making food prices much more expensive than what you may be used to. If you have favorite snacks we recommend packing them up with you to bring from home (just no fresh fruits or veggies).
Question
How do you pronounce Eleuthera?
