When to visit

The best time to visit Eleuthera is during the winter months from December to April when the weather is dry and temperatures are mild, ranging from 70-80°F. The summer months from June to August can be hot and humid with occasional rain showers, while the hurricane season lasts from June to November, so it's best to avoid visiting during this time.

Getting around

The most common way to get around Eleuthera is by renting a car or scooter to explore the island at your own pace. Taxis are also available, but they can be expensive, so it's recommended to negotiate the fare before starting your journey. Additionally, there are water taxis and boat tours that offer transportation between the different islands of the Bahamas.

Traveller tips

Pack light and breathable clothing, as the weather in Eleuthera can be quite warm and humid. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and insect repellent to protect yourself from the sun and bugs. Be sure to try the local cuisine, including fresh seafood dishes and tropical fruits like mangoes and guavas. Respect the local customs and traditions, such as greeting people with a friendly 'good morning' or 'good afternoon'. Lastly, be prepared for a slower pace of life on the island and embrace the laid-back island vibes.
