Review & FAQ:

Eleuthera and Harbour Islands are separated by a narrow stretch of water which takes just 5 minutes to cross by ferry. While they are very close together, the two islands are miles apart in character. Harbour Island is known for its long pink-sand beaches, and the picturesque New England-style houses which were built by loyalist settlers back in the 1700’s. There is great snorkeling around the offshore coral reefs. Eleuthera is wild and wonderful and attracts adventure lovers who come to enjoy excellent surfing at Surfer’s Beach and to swim in Ocean Hole, a natural swimming hole where you can swim with tropical fish and even turtles.
