Getting to Deep Water Cay has never been easier. There is a wide range of commercial flights to Freeport from many Eastern hub cities. Connecting flights from Miami, Palm Beach, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Newark, Hartford, Philadelphia and New York City are most common. From Freeport, taxis can be arranged to pick up arriving guests and transport them to McLean’s Town. We will be glad to provide recommendations for this service. Then a 5-minute water taxi shuttles guests to the island.
