How to get to Cat Island

Two airports, one long island, and a simple rule: plan your ground transportation before you land.

Air access

New Bight Airport (TBI)

Located near Mount Alvernia in central Cat Island. The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism identifies New Bight as having Customs and Immigration services for international travelers.

Arthur’s Town Airport (ATC)

A regional airport serving northern Cat Island and the Arthur’s Town area.

Connections

Domestic service typically connects through Nassau, while some operators provide direct or charter service from South Florida. Service changes seasonally, so flight times should always be verified before travel.

Transportation

Rental car

The most flexible way to explore Cat Island. Queen’s Highway runs much of the island’s length, with settlement roads branching toward beaches and properties.

Taxi & transfers

Pre-arranged taxis and resort transfers are useful for airport arrivals, especially when visiting remote properties.

Boat access

Private boats and charters open up fishing grounds, reefs, caves and coastal exploration that cannot be reached as easily by road.
