How to Get to Exuma

Start with the island where you will sleep

Great Exuma is served by Exuma International Airport (GGT), which the airport identifies as a customs port of entry. If your stay is elsewhere in the chain, ask your accommodation or tour operator whether you need a domestic flight, water taxi, private boat, or a different arrival plan. Do not assume an airport code or boat transfer works for every cay.

For current airline routes and schedules, use the carrier or the official Bahamas Tourism flight directory. Schedules, seasonal service, baggage rules, and connection times can change.

Plan the final transfer

1. Confirm the arrival airport. Match the airport to the property or the dock where your tour leaves.
2. Book the ground leg. Confirm whether your stay includes a pickup, or arrange a rental car, taxi, or other transfer before landing.
3. Allow connection margin. Keep time for immigration, baggage, weather, and a late inbound flight before a same-day boat connection.
4. Verify the return. Ask when you must leave the outer island or dock to make the flight home.

Separate the arrival plan from getting around after check-in

This guide covers the gateway airport and final transfer to the island or cay where you will sleep. After check-in, use the transportation guide for rental cars, taxis, tour pickups, and water connections. Travelers avoiding a rental car should confirm the entire chain in the car-free Exuma guide before purchasing a nonrefundable trip component.
