I can get a good deal on flights to Nassau in August. Can anyone help me with the least expensive options on flying or ferry to an out island from there? We visited Eleuthera and LOVED it, would love to go to any of the other islands on this budget trip. If I my dollars only get me to Nassau and I can't swing the out island on this trip are there any good off the beaten path options without traveling to an additonal island? Our favorite activity is snorkeling. Thanks!

For $180 return you can take the Abaco Air flight to Marsh Harbour and from get a ferry the Cays of Abaco. Do some research , incredible place.

For a bit less you can go to Andros Islasnd and Small Hope Lodge offers some of the best snorkelingg and diving left in the Caribbean.

Always wanted to do this Stan

Stankase how can I get to Andros for a bit less? thanks

stan, i like the look of small hope a lot. how are the beds? are some of the cabins stand alone? how far a drive to stores, restaurants or anything at all? did you snorkel nearby beaches? what time of year did you go?

At some hotel properties, off-season rates go into effect 01 Aug 2012 for as low as US$120/night plus tax. Should you decide to visit Abaco, suggest staying in Marsh Harbour for your initial visit. Easy access to explore north and south on Great Abaco - and ferries available for daily excursions to the offshore Cays. Depending on length of stay, we can help suggest what to see and do. Enjoy!

If you liked Eleuthera I would recommend you take a look at Long Island and Cape Santa Maria resort beach bungalows. Good luck...you really can't go wrong with the out islands.
