Choose Your Transport Wisely**: While there are no trains on Eleuthera, you can opt for a combination of bus or car rentals. Buses are economical and provide a local experience, while renting a car offers flexibility to explore at your own pace.
Book in Advance**: If you're taking a bus, check the schedule and book your tickets ahead of time, especially during peak tourist seasons. Car rentals should also be reserved in advance to ensure availability.

No Border Crossings**: Traveling within the Bahamas does not require border crossing documentation. However, ensure you have your identification, especially if you're arriving from an international flight to Nassau.
