Question

CAN I STAY ON A DIFFERENT ISLAND?

Answer

YES. YOU CAN STAY ON ELEUTHERA OR ON SPANISH WELLS. BOTH ARE NEARBY AND ACCESSIBLE VIA WATER TAXI. WATER TAXIS GENERALLY RUN EVERY 30 MINUTES OR SO, BUT IT IS "ISLAND CULTURE" SO THEY'RE NOT EXACT. YOU MAY ALSO NEED TO USE TAXIS AROUND ELEUTHERA AND SPANISH WELLS. SO, IT'LL BE SLIGHTLY MORE LOGISTICALLY COMPLICATED, BUT DOABLE.

Question

HOW DO I GET FROM ELEUTHERA TO HARBOUR ISLAND?

Answer

VIA REGULAR TAXI AND THEN WATER TAXI. THERE WILL BE TAXIS WAITING AT THE AIRPORT THAT CAN TAKE YOU TO THE DOCK TO CATCH THE WATER TAXI TO HARBOUR ISLAND. JUST TELL THE TAXI DRIVER THAT YOU NEED TO GET TO HARBOUR ISLAND. THIS TAXI SHOULD BE AROUND $5 PER PERSON. YOUR TAXI DRIVER WILL LIKELY ALSO COORDINATE YOUR TRAVEL FROM THE DOCK TO THE HARBOUR ISLAND VIA WATER TAXI. THAT IS ALSO $5 PER PERSON. THE TRIP FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE DOCK IS ABOUT 10 MINUTES, AND THE WATER TAXI IS ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
