Andros is the largest island in the Bahamian archipelago, famous for the world's third largest barrier reef, inland blueholes, land crabs, friendly people and fabulous fishing. It boasts the title of being the saltwater, fly fishing capital of the Caribbean. The pristine wilderness of Fresh Creek stretches for 20 miles into the uninhabited interior of Andros, here the air is pure, the views untouched by man. Fresh Creek village is the nearest population centre and restaurants, bars, churches, shops and a bank can all be found here. Central Andros has all that appeals to the eco tourist, scuba diver, snorkeler, bird watcher, naturalist, walker and fisherman. The beach in Fresh Creek is inviting with soft sand and spectacular swimming. Here the history buff can climb the lighthouse, built in 1892, then walk to the Androsia batik store and sample their gorgeous island fabrics. The National Park of Andros is home to native wildlife, flora and fauna, protected by law for all to appreciate.

Fishing

The houseboat is the ideal location for a fishing group. You can fish right from the house, the decks or even while lying in your bed!! Fishing guides can be arranged to take you out for full or half days for either deep sea or flats fishing. You can be picked up off the deck and taken out to fish our flats in Fresh Creek or on the reef, then returned to the houseboat without ever having to step on the land. It takes away the time spent in the taxi and saves more of your vacation for the things you enjoy. The house is a few minutes walk from the flats of Fresh Creek, so bring along some water booties and wade our fishing flats. The well equipped kitchen enables you to prepare your catch of the day. A Bahamian chef can be arranged if you desire, when requested in advance. Andros is nicknamed 'the bone fishing capital of the world', we have some of the most skillful local guides available and we can guarantee a wonderful time. A boat rental can be arranged if desired.

Scuba diving and snorkeling

Andros is located to the west of the Andros barrier reef, the third largest reef in the world. The 'wall', is a must see experience, here the sea bed drops 6000 feet into the ocean trench known as 'the Tongue of the Ocean'. Andros is also world famous for its blue holes and cave diving. Scuba diving can be arranged through Small Hope Bay Lodge, or a speciality dive can be prebooked, including transportation in a boat with your own dive master, who will take you on the dive of your dreams. You can choose between a variety of dives: diving over the wall to 185 feet, exploring an ocean blue hole, wreck diving, observing while the sharks are fed, or cruising over the reef anywhere between 15 and 90feet. Please note that arrangements for speciality dives should be made when booking your houseboat stay. Snorkeling or swimming off the houseboat will delight people of all ages and attitudes. The tidal current keeps the experience interesting while the convenience is marvellous.

Other activities

The soft sandy beach is easily accessible with a drop off and pick up arranged or by a walk of about 1.5 miles. Andros is a paradise for walkers and cyclists, as the island is crisscrossed with old logging trails which give access to many inland blue holes where one can go to take a cooling dip in the fresh water while observing tropical plant life including orchids, and animal and bird life in a range of different natural habitats. Walkers may also spend a day walking along our unspoilt beaches for miles. A local batik factory is open six days a week for shoppers with an island taste or you can observe the waxing process and choose your own fabric design and colour. Birdwatchers are in a natural paradise with herons, egrets and many other birds to observe.
