Sometimes, when you’re planning a vacation, you could use a little help. We understand, and we’re here for you! We’ve rounded up some of your most common questions about traveling to Nassau Paradise Island and answered them below. And of course, if you’re asking yourself, “should I start planning my next vacation?” — the answer is yes!

What is the flight like to Nassau?

Nassau Paradise Island is less than a one-hour flight from South Florida and less than a three-hour flight from the New York City area. Non-stop service has returned from most Eastern and Midwest US cities, and additional flights are being added regularly. Our close proximity to major airports, like Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta, and Charlotte, makes one-stop connecting service easy from most areas of the US. And getting here is even easier with our vacation package deals from our airline partners.

How can I get around the island?

Getting around the island is easy! Taxis are your best bet to get to and from the airport, or check with your hotel or resort to see if they offer transportation. If you’re looking to tour around attractions, our buses — known as “jitneys” to locals — run in downtown Nassau and Cable Beach.

Or, for a more scenic way to get from point A to point B, try a ferry boat! These water taxis run between Nassau and Paradise Island, giving you a beautiful view of Nassau Harbour.
