Frequently Asked Questions

What We Provide

We provide most of what you may need for your tour. Many of our guests arrive carrying a small or medium size bag, whatever luggage is allowed without checking a bag for the flight, and find that to be adequate. Others bring checked luggage, and that’s fine. You can decide for yourself.

We provide meals, snacks, drinks, linen, blankets, pillows, towels, soap and shampoo. We have binoculars, games and cards, books, DVD’s and a television with a DVD player.

Meals

We will do our best to prepare and serve delicious meals aboard Mirage. We will also do our best to accommodate special diets. Please contact us if you have a special diet request. Sourcing food in Staniel Cay can be a challenge, so we need to know well ahead of time if we are to be successful.

Money

You will not need to spend cash on Mirage unless you decide to buy souvenirs or a meal ashore. The family islands of The Bahamas are a cash economy for the most part, however, there are some places that take credit cards. Don’t count on it though. The Bahamas currency is linked to the value of the US dollar one for one. You can use US dollars, but may receive Bahamian dollars in change. Spend or exchange any Bahamian currency before you leave The Bahamas. It will be very difficult to do so anywhere else.

How to get here

Use Nassau Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS). There are direct flights from many major cities in the eastern US, upper midwest and southern Canada. From Nassau, use Flamingo Air (http://flamingoairbah.com/) to fly to Staniel Cay. Flamingo Air schedules two round trip flights daily between Nassau and Staniel Cay. They depart Nassau enroute to Staniel Cay at 8:00 am and 4:00 pm daily. They depart Staniel Cay enroute to Nassau at 8:55 am and 5:00 pm.

Note: when waiting for your flight to Staniel Cay from NAS, the reader board will show the flight’s final destination as Black Point Settlement. That is your flight.

Be sure to inform us of your arrival time. We will meet you at the gate. The Airport is close enough to carry luggage to the dock.
