HARBOUR ISLAND/NORTH ELEUTHERA
Sunday, January 24th Day-Trip
Welcome to Harbour Island & North Eleuthera!
The pink sands of this island chain are world-famous and have attracted the “rich and famous”
beginning with early tourism development in The Bahamas. The island of Eleuthera supports
three international airports – North Eleuthera (ELH), Governor’s Harbour (GHB) and Rock Sound
(RSD). For many years, Eleuthera’s ocean-to-ocean views have showcased pineapple festivals
and homecomings that are now signature events on the island’s tourism calendar.
