It is also the largest land mass in the Bahamas, yet the least densely populated. This island provides a rich and diverse ecosystem completely isolated from the rest of the world.

Andros Bahamas is actually made up of three major islands with most of the island population on the east coasts.

DAYTIME FUN

1) Explore the world's third longest barrier reef which covers over 140 miles with one of the many dive resorts on the east coast.

2) Head inland to explore through the pine forest in search of the mythical creature known as "the Chickcharnie", a small red-eyed dwarf that was said to haunt the forests.

3) Take a swim in one of the many inland blue holes that dot the landscape. Some of the more popular blue holes are Captain Bill's Blue Hole near Small Hope Bay Lodge, and Stargate located on the west side of The Bluff Village. Caution: Scuba diving in any of these blue holes should only be done with a local dive guide!

4) Charter an offshore fishing trip for tuna, mahi-mahi, and marlin in the prolific depths of the Tongue of the Ocean, or for a more technical fishing experience hire a guide to hook you up with the elusive and powerful bonefish that roam the inshore flats.

5) Take a kayak tour and slip silently among the mangroves over crystal clear water while learning about the amazing ecosystem that is the nursery of the ocean.

6) Visit the Androsia Batik Factory and take home some of the loveliest batiks you've ever seen!

1) Do a night dive and watch the reef transform with vibrant color and life.

2) Bring along a stargazing guide and take advantage of zero ambient light to admire the stars and galaxy.

3) With miles of secluded beaches, build a small beach fire, bring a bottle of wine and enjoy the solitude with that special person.
