Getting There
-
Car
To reach Peterson Cay National Park by car, start from Freeport, the main city on Grand Bahama Island. Take the Queen's Highway (also known as the Grand Bahama Highway) and head east. Continue on Queen's Highway until you reach the intersection with the road leading to the Lucayan National Park. Turn left onto the road towards the park entrance. After entering the park, you'll need to park your car at the designated area. From there, you can take a boat tour or arrange for water taxi services that will take you to Peterson Cay, as the cay is accessible only by boat. Be prepared for potential boat rental costs, which can vary.

Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, you can catch a jitney (local bus) from Freeport to Lucayan National Park. The jitneys run frequently and will drop you off near the park entrance. Once you arrive at the park, you will need to hire a boat taxi service to take you to Peterson Cay. It’s advisable to check the boat schedules and costs beforehand, as they can vary depending on the time of day and demand. Make sure to confirm the return trip timing with the boat service to avoid being stranded.
