Arriving in Nassau, the main international gateway, gives you the most frequent connections to other islands such as Grand Bahama, Exuma, and Eleuthera. Some smaller islands require a connecting flight or boat from Nassau. There are no trains, and bus services are limited to major islands like New Providence. If you land in Freeport, you may need to connect through Nassau to reach the Out Islands."}}}}
