The Out Islands are the Real BahamasUnspoiled and spectacular, the Out Islands of the Bahamas offer an ideal beach eco vacation.
January 26th 2010
The Out Islands of the Bahamas offer the eco traveller an ideal tropical adventure. Even though they are a short flight and quite close to the the US, they remain off the radar of large tour operators, wholesaler cataloques and mass toursim. Thankfully this translates to islands that are quiet , unspoiled and an ideal choice for a relaxing Eco vacation in the sun. Bahamas Tourism just came out with short videos on a few of the islands including the Abacos , Andros and Cat Island - three islands that we at Langford & Company love and offer unique trips to!

Learn to Scuba at Small Hope Bay
November 20th 2009
A highlight of my recent trip to the Andros was learning how to Scuba Dive at Small Hope Bay Lodge. For those of you who have experienced our Algonquin Log Cabin adventures , you will feel right at home at Small Hope. I had to pinch myself as Jeff Birch runs the opertaion very much like we do in Algonquin! Minutes after arriving, Jeff had me in the water learning the basics from fantastic divemaster Lauren. Like our canoe , kayak and ski instructors, Small Hopes dive instruction is world class. After a quick orienation underwater at the pier, we boated out to a reef and jumped in. The underwater world in the Andros is really special with schools of fish and fantastic coral. Later, divemasters Lauren and Ashly don Androsia shirts and play bartender serving up Bahama Mama’s , cold Kalik and any other drink you can think of . The dinners and breakfast were tasty and the beachside cabins are cozy. Look for a new Langford package featuring Small Hope with an option to island hop afterwards to the Exmumas. Aaah - it is better in the Bahamas!

Bahamas - excellent deals on air !
October 30th 2009
As I prepared to visit the Bahamas on my most recent trip to Andros island in Bahamas, I found air travel with Westjet to be discounted if you travel one way. In searching for round trip flights from Toronto to Nassau , it became evident that two "one way" tickets was almost almost half the price vs round trip. $59 one way flights are currenty available from Toronto to Nassau and back again with West Jet. Other airlines offering direct flights to Nassau include Air Canada, American Airlines, Continental and US Airways.
We’ll help you get to the Bahamas this winter one way and then the other!
