JOIN THE NIGHTLIFE WITH A VETTED CHAPERONE - Saturday 10 p.m.
Don’t let the island’s small size fool you, for at night it comes to life with music and life! Not sure where to start the night or what order to hit the spots in? Our concierge team can provide you with a vetted guide or “chaperone” for the night. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, or just want to get a real “locals” feel, our nightlife chaperones will help you make the most of the night!
ELEUTHERA LAND TOUR - Sunday 10 a.m.
Just 5 minutes by water taxi, Harbour Island’s neighboring island Eleuthera is Bahamas longest island and full of surprises to be uncovered. If you’re flying into Harbour Island, you’ll be arriving at North Eleuthera airport. From surfing to exploring caves and other natural wonders, Eleuthera is not to be missed. We recommend booking a private land tour with our concierge team and then curating your stops to your party's desires.
