Tropic Ocean Airways has significantly expanded its offerings, providing travelers with a seamless way to visit Harbour Island through both scheduled and private flights. Their newly launched non-stop service from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to North Eleuthera (ELH) allows for easier planning and a smoother overall travel experience. These scheduled flights, beginning June 20, 2025, operate three times weekly and are designed for convenience, departing from the private Sheltair terminal in Fort Lauderdale. The flight takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, followed by a short transfer via water taxi or ferry from North Eleuthera to Harbour Island.

For those seeking premium comfort or direct access, Tropic Ocean Airways also offers private seaplane charters that land directly at Harbour Island’s waterfront. These amphibious aircraft touch down near Valentine’s Resort, removing the need for additional transfers and allowing travelers to arrive in true island style. This option is especially ideal for groups, special occasions, or travelers who prefer to bypass ferry schedules and reach the island directly. Whether you're flying in for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, these routes offer dependable ways to visit Harbour Island travel without the usual hassle of commercial airports.

The introduction of these direct flights is particularly impactful for U.S. travelers, cutting down transit times and providing more flexible access year-round. Alongside scheduled service, Tropic also offers custom private charters to and from other Bahamian islands, allowing you to create multi-stop itineraries or hop directly between islands. Whether departing from Florida or island-hopping across the Bahamas, the airline gives you the freedom to shape your travel around your needs. The addition of Tropic Ocean’s routes makes it easier than ever to plan your arrival—whether you're looking for affordability, flexibility, or luxury.
