"Small Hope Bay Lodge offers what is reputed to be the third biggest barrier reef system in the world, and some of the finest of all Blue Hole diving into immense underwater cave systems. Then there is the famous wall, beginning at 22m and plunging down into the Tongue of the Ocean, a dive I shall never forget."

Experts rate Andros, with its innumerable sandy flats, cays and channels, as one of the world's great locations for the Albula vulpes, or white fox... Suddenly my guide stops poling and half-whispers, "Three-o'clock. Tailing. Twenty yards." A large school of bonefish, weighing perhaps three to five pounds each, heads in our direction.- Charles Greenfield, Travel & Leisure Magazine

- Not only do you get worldclass Bonefishing, but Andros is virtually untouched by the modern world.

Except during the summer months of mid June - early September, children must be with two full paying adults to qualify for their discounted rates.- Children 7 and under eat the evening dinner meal at the Kids table in Game Room with our babysitters and the other kids. Complimentary babysitting is provided from 6:00 pm to 8:45 pm for 2-7 year olds. Individual sitters for infants are easily arranged at a nominal fee. This allows the adults some adult time during cocktail and dinner hours and allows the kids time to be kids and play in the games room (or outside in the summer time). Babysitting can be arranged at any other time for a nominal fee.
