This excursion offers a fabulous opportunity to view the inland wilderness of Andros, called by some the largest unexplored tract of land in the western hemisphere. It is a true outback - home to a wealth of bird life, the famed bonefish and mysterious blue holes. This is a chance to see another part of the island's complex ecology. it's an unique and informatiive outing that the whole family can enjoy. The boat travels from our dock, along the sheltered lagoon into the mouth of Fresg Creek and part way up this 20-mile waterway. Accessible only by shollow draught boat, Fresh Creek is a pristine tidal river and an important building block of the Andros Barrier Reef. We pass the Fresh Creek Lighthouse and Marina and the Government dock and head west under the Fresh Creek Bridge, entering the shallow water home of the world famous bonefish. You may spot schools of these gray ghosts, as well as needle fish, southern stingrays and eagle rays. The boat cruises past the Monadnock, a sunken New York ferry. The half submerged barge now provides nesting grounds for owls and other bird life above the water, and mangrove snapper below the surface. We select a perfect spot to anchor for a snorkel. We also keep a lookout for the occasional wild dolphin. if was are lucky enough to see them, they seem happy to see humans and we'll snorkel with them if we have the opportunity. Small Hope offers this afternoon excursion depending on demand and weather. A minimum of 8 snorkelers for this excursion.
