Calm Waters Brimming With Colourful Fish...
Nestled away in the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island is one of the most scenic and tranquil retreats in the spectacular Islands of the Bahamas. Only 4 miles wide and 80 miles long, package holidays to Long Island are renowned for their world-class scuba diving and bonefishing. Home to one of the oldest dive operations in the Bahamas, Long Island boasts a wide range of deep and shallow dive sites, but is famous for the outstanding Dean’s Blue Hole, which at 600 feet is the deepest recorded blue hole in the Bahamas. An underwater playground for snorkelers and divers alike, this freediving hotspot sees divers discovering the tropical treats which lurk in these mystical depths. Imagine a salt-water swimming pool with deep, calm waters brimming with colourful fish, patrolled by a school of silver-plated tarpon and visited by curious turtles, rays and small seahorses and you won’t want to leave this sensational site.
An island of two contrasts, Long Island is divided by the Tropic of Cancer and bordered on either side by divergent coasts – one with rocky headlands which merge into the sea, creating boundaries for the crashing waves, and the other with soft white sparkling sands, perfect for lazy days spent soaking up the Caribbean sunshine. The western shoreline’s soft powder-like beaches see holidaymakers basking in the stunning surroundings of warm blue waters and rich green mangroves. With the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Long Island holidays are ideal for sailing, yachting and especially fishing. Holidays in Long Island offer something different from your typical Bahamas holidays, with picturesque landscape, dramatic scenery and tranquil surrounds, you won’t want to leave this tropical retreat.
