✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Exuma International Airport (GGT/MYEF) is the primary gateway to Great Exuma and the Exuma Cays, located in Moss Town about 15 km north of George Town. It operates a single asphalt runway and a compact terminal that handles regional and international flights, mainly from Florida and the U.S. East Coast. The airport is the arrival point for travelers heading to famous Exuma attractions such as the swimming pigs, Thunderball Grotto, and the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal is small and can get crowded when multiple flights land; use the time to buy water and snacks before leaving, since shops and restaurants are limited around Moss Town.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are available outside the terminal and are the easiest way to reach George Town, resorts, and marinas; agree on the fare before you depart. Rental cars can be arranged in advance or at the airport, but drive on the left and watch for potholes and free-roaming animals. If you are heading to the Exuma Cays, pre-book a water taxi or charter from George Town or Barreaterre, as the airport itself is not a ferry terminal.
