Explore our planet's second most diverse ecosystem..... Come and let your Christmas be filled with the sea, sun, and all the wonders that a pristine island environment holds. Celebrate the holidays in the Bahamas where SURF and SERVICE are a natural pair. In the giving spirit, we will provide service for a few hours of the days: beach cleaning, building repair, plumbing, painting, screening, furniture repair, etc. After working, countless opportunities will exist for us to explore, island hop, snorkel, beach comb, dive, and share the Bahamian culture. Forfar Environmental Center is located on Andros Island and is far from the mad tourism culture of the Bahamas that you reach on a cruise. The Center is located on a pristine beach and we boat out from there to all sorts of lonely beach and snorkeling sites. You will also snorkel in some of the Bahamian Blue Holes that Costeau explored. You will meet and talk to local Bahamians that work at Forfar. Annie will be show you how to make a local basket, you will probably come back with a dozen. Maryann will be around in the evening to braid hair of those that want a new style. Christmas' Eve church service will be one that you will remember forever. So will the Christmas meal that we help fix and serve for all the local Bahamanians associated with Forfar. Some of the small gifts you are asked to bring will warm the heart of many young children. You may forget many of your Christmas celebrations over the year, but we promise that you will never forget a holiday exploration with a group of wonderful folks on Andros Island in the Bahamas. We are working with a not-for-profit organization to upgrade and fine tune the facilities of the Forfar Environmental Center. You will receive a letter to that effect after we return so your expenses can count as a tax deduction. WHERE: Forfar Environmental Center on Andros Island in the Bahamas.
