Exuma's gateway is Exuma International Airport (GGT), near Moss Town on Great Exuma about seven miles northwest of George Town, the island chain's main settlement. Despite the small-island setting, service is genuinely international: regional jets and light aircraft connect GGT with US and Canadian gateways alongside Bahamasair and domestic island-hoppers from Nassau, which is what makes the Exumas reachable without a yacht. On arrival, taxis meet flights for the short run into George Town, and rental cars cover Great Exuma's single main road - remember Bahamian traffic keeps left. From George Town, the famous swimming pigs, iguana beaches and sandbars of the Exuma Cays are reached by boat tour or charter northward. Allow standard airline check-in margins on departure - around two hours domestic and three international -.

Frequently asked questions
What airport do you fly into for Exuma?
Exuma International Airport, code GGT, near Moss Town on Great Exuma - about seven miles northwest of George Town. It handles regional jets and light aircraft from the United States and Canada plus Bahamasair and domestic services from Nassau, making it the practical gateway to the whole Exuma chain.
How do I get from GGT to George Town?
Taxis meet arriving flights for the roughly 15-minute run into George Town, and rental cars are available for stays where you want wheels - Great Exuma runs on one main road and traffic keeps left, Bahamian style. Many resorts also arrange pickups; confirm timing with your accommodation before you land.
Can you fly to the swimming pigs from GGT?
The famous swimming pigs at Big Major Cay sit up the chain in the Exuma Cays, reached from Great Exuma by boat tour or charter rather than by road - day trips run from George Town and nearby marinas. Some visitors instead fly into Staniel Cay's airstrip directly; from GGT, the boat excursion is the standard route.
How early should I arrive at Exuma airport?
Use standard airline margins: around two hours for domestic Bahamas flights and three for international departures to the US and Canada, where exit queues concentrate when several flights leave in the same window. The terminal is compact, so most of that buffer is queue insurance rather than walking time.
