Tranquility Hill: Getting There

Travel to Andros Town:

Direct flights from Miami or Ft. Lauderdale to Andros Town are available by private charter. Gulf Stream International (Continental Connection Ft Lauderdale/Andros Town, www.continental.com , 800-231-0856) also offers flights directly to Andros on selected days. Western Air offers twice-a-day service between Nassau and Andros Island. Flying time is 15 minutes and cost is approximately $70 each way. Western Air does not accept credit cards, so be prepared to pay for your flight in cash. Contact your travel agent or the carrier direct for exact times and fares. As aircraft flying to Andros Town are often small, twin engine planes, we recommend carrying a maximum of 40-pounds of luggage, soft sided if possible. Rod cases should be limited to 6 1/2 feet long.

If you are flying commercially into Nassau International Airport you will first clear immigrations, retrieve your luggage and clear customs. Once you have cleared customs, you will need to recheck yourself and luggage to Andros Town at the nearest Western Air counter.

You must claim your luggage on your first point of entry into the Bahamas and clear immigrations and customs. Failure to claim your luggage will result in your luggage not showing up at your end destination.

Upon arrival at Andros Town, you will have to wait a bit for your luggage, as it is hand loaded off the plane. Once you have your luggage, a taxi will be waiting for you arranged by the lodge. The fee will be approximately $40-50 US dollars. There may be other anglers making their way to the Lodge that you can share a taxi with. The drive takes approximately 20-minutes.

Upon arrival at the lodge you will be met by Lodge manager, Bhruna. She will check you into your room and give you a brief tour of the compound. The rest of the day is at your leisure. There is a flat only 300 feet away from the lodge that you are welcome to fish on your own. Just ask Bhruna and she will direct you.
