Andros Island, Bahamas

The untouched island of Andros is nestled in the Bahamas, defined by its archipelago of tiny cays and inlets connected by mangrove estuaries and underwater caves, making it accessible only to boats and small sailing vessels. A favorite of scuba divers and snorkelers, Barrier Reef and Tongue of the Sea is the third largest barrier reef in the world, stretching more than 140 miles long. Just off the shores of Andros, this reef teems with exotic fish species. Home to five national parks, more than 180 blue holes, biodiverse ecosystems, and a network of trails that cross the Central Andros National Park, Andros Island is perfect for nature lovers and hikers alike.
