Travel & Stay
Our wedding events will be taking place on the North part of the Island
Getting there
The easiest way to reach Eleuthera is aboard a commercial plane. There are three airports on the island. Non-stop flights from the United States are available from Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Direct flights into all three Eleuthera airports are also available via Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in Nassau, Bahamas:
North Eleuthera (ELH), which caters to the northern settlements and is nearest to our venue - this is the airport we recommend flying into to be closest to our wedding venues
Governor’s Harbour (GHB) in the center of the island
Rock Sound (RSD), which caters to southern settlements
Getting to Harbour Island from ELH
Once you clear customs/immigration at ELH you will walk outside and there will be taxis waiting. Let them know you need to get to Harbour Island. The taxi will bring you to the dock where you will get on the next water taxi in line. After you get off the boat on Harbour Island there will be taxis waiting to take you to your final destination. Please note all land and water taxis only take cash and it is $5-$10 per person per each leg of the way. There are also people that assist with bags on both docks.
Lodging Recommendations
AIRBNB’S
There are plenty of AirBnb’s and VRBO’s on the island. Please remember that if you choose to stay on the lower half of the island, you will need to rent a car or take a taxi to the wedding.
We highly recommend staying on either Harbour island or on the main island, as close as possible to The Other Side Hotel, unless you are planning on renting a car.
HOTELS
The most convenient hotels in the area will be on Harbour Island (also known as Dunmore Town) which is where our rehearsal dinner will be located and is just a short water taxi away from our wedding venue.
The Ocean View Club - Our wedding guests get a special discount at the sister property to our wedding venue (this is also where our welcome party will be held)

The Dunmore Hotel - Next door to our rehearsal dinner venue and a short, 5 minute water taxi ride to our wedding venue
Getting Around
There are 3 main ways to get around Eleuthera:
Hire a taxi | Most visitors take a taxi only right after arriving at the airport or when they have to return to that airport to go home. Taxis meet all incoming flights and are also available at ferry docks. All taxi drivers are independent operators, there are no meters. If staying at a hotel, your hotel staff can summon a taxi for you, but you may have to wait a while, so plan ahead.
For short distances | Rent a golf cart from a local vendor once you are settled in
Rent a car | There are no American car-rental agencies on the island. Usually, your hotel can arrange for a car rental at prices ranging from $60 to $125 a day. Additional agencies that you can book ahead through are:
Eleuthera Car Rentals
Big Daddy's Rental Cars
Taylor & Taylor's Car Rentals
Getting Around on Harbour Island
Golf Carts are highly recommended for those staying on Harbour Island. The island itself is only 3.25 miles long and a half mile wide. Daily rentals range from $55- $150 a day. Advance booking is recommended.
Majors Golf Cart Rentals & Taxi Service
For guests staying on Harbour Island (Dunmore Town) | The Ocean View Club will provide a water taxi for our guests that will bring you directly to the dock of our wedding venue property.
