Logistics

Getting There

Fly into Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) — it's a 20-minute drive to Nassau. For groups of 8+, consider booking a shuttle or party bus from the airport (local providers include Simon's Transport Bahamas and Bahamas Executive Tours). Renting two SUVs usually works for groups of 4-8.
