Transport
Boat
Access
Short walk

Fly into Miami, Ft. Lauderdale or Nassau Bahamas and take a flight to North Eleuthra. From there take a water taxi across the harbour to Harbour Island. It's on the east side of the island. The best is to catch the high speed ferry called `Bohingi` in Nassau to Harbour Island.
