One hour flight from Miami or Fort Lauderdale with Continental. Fly to Harbour Island by taking a flight into North Eleuthera, then a taxi ride to the dock where a water taxi will whisk you across to Harbour Island, the jewel of the “family islands”. Or if you’d prefer, a more scenic route take the “Bohengi”, the fast ferry which skims across the blue Caribbean Sea once a day from the dock beside the famous Atlantis Hotel in Nassau, Paradise Island. There are also several charter flights from Nassau if you really just can’t wait.
