Getting To Hope TOwn

Getting here is easier than you Think
The Abaco chain of islands is located approximately 175 miles east of Florida (approx. 1 hour flight) and 100 miles north of Nassau (approx. 35-minute flight). The main airport on Great Abaco is Marsh Harbour International Airport. Major airlines connect the Bahamas with the United States as well as Canada, Europe, Great Britain and the Caribbean. Flights to Marsh Harbour are available from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, New Smyrna Beach and Nassau in the Bahamas.
​
After you arrive at the Marsh Harbour International Airport (MHH), a short taxi ride will bring you directly to the Hope Town Ferry which will continue on to Hope Town. Be sure to tell the captain which dock you want to get off at. They leave approximately every hour and stop running for the day around 7:15. If your flight happens to arrive late and you miss the last ferry, you can always charter a private ferry.
