Getting There

Travel to Mangrove Cay:

Mangrove Cay enjoys twice-daily commercial air service from Nassau to the Clarence A. Bain Airport (Mangrove Cay) via Western Air. Expect fares to be approximately $70 each way, to be paid in cash at the Western Air Counter in Nassau. Charter service can be arranged from south Florida or Nassau, Bahamas. Private planes are also welcome at Mangrove Cay and the 5,000 by 75 foot (1,524 by 23 m) asphalt runway can accommodate most private aircraft. While there is no Bahamian customs currently available on Mangrove Cay, anglers choosing to travel by private aircraft or charter from the US can find ports of entry on North and South Andros as well as Nassau, Bimini or Chubb Cay. You will be met at the airport and driven to Mangrove Cay Club, a journey of ten minutes.

If you are flying commercially into Nassau International Airport you will first clear immigrations, retrieve your luggage and clear customs. Once you have cleared customs, you will need to recheck yourself and luggage to Mangrove Cay at the nearest Bahamasair counter. You must claim your luggage on your first point of entry into the Bahamas and clear immigrations and customs. Failure to claim your luggage will result in your luggage not showing up at your end destination.

Upon arrival at Mangrove Cay airport, you will have to wait a bit for your luggage, as it is hand loaded off the plane. Once you have your luggage, a taxi will be waiting for you arranged by the lodge. There may be other anglers making their way to the Club that you can share a taxi with. The drive takes approximately 10-minutes. Upon arrival at the lodge you will check into your room and receive a brief tour of the resort from lodge hosts. The rest of the day is at your leisure.

Please reconfirm your departure arrangements with the Club the night before departure. Again a taxi will be arranged for you by the lodge to take you to the airport. Upon departure from Nassau, a departure tax of $15 is payable at the airport when leaving the Bahamas.
