SMALL HOPE BAY LODGE, ANDROS ISLAND, BAHAMAS Welcome to Small Hope Bay Lodge, since 1960 we have been hosting scuba divers, birders, nature lovers, & friends at our out island getaway in the Bahamas. Let us introduce you to this unique island, from dramatic scuba diving, the best snorkeling sites, world class birding, & more. Unspoiled & virtually undiscovered. Andros Island, Bahamas is a world apart from the crowds. Ornithologist and one-time Andros resident Dr. Mike Baltz once again will offer his Birding and Ecology tours on Andros, using Small Hope Bay Lodge as base camp. This is the eighth year in a row that Dr. Baltz brings his knowledge and experience of the Andros ecology and environment to Small Hope Bay Lodge guests. In addition to daily birding outings in search of Bahamian specialties and Neotropical migrants, the week will offer opportunities to see some of the famous Andros blue holes, take boat rides into the interior of the island, and to visit the settlement of Red Bays, home of the island's best basket weavers and wood carvers.
