With over 700 islands to choose from, everybody's dream vacation can come true - from quiet beaches for sun worshipers to just about every water sport imaginable for the more adventurous travelers - we're sure the friendly Bahamas has something for you. Some of the best scuba diving and bone fishing areas in the world are here in the Bahamas. The turquoise blue waters and miles of empty beaches invite you to swim, snorkel, scuba, or just sit back and sip a cocktail while enjoying the scenery. Picturesque towns, historic landmarks, sailing regattas and friendly islanders all combine to make this island nation a tropical paradise.
Seabird Air can provide the perfect method of transportation to that perfect getaway. Based in Nassau, our seaplanes will take you directly to fishing lodges, resorts or your private yacht. The service is professional, unhurried and stress free. Better yet it leaves on your schedule. No waiting for endless airline connections that are too often late or that don't leave at all!

Fishing for Adventure
Whether you want to match wits with an elusive bonefish on some sun-drenched flat or match muscle with a marlin on the deep blue sea, the Bahamas is a mecca for avid fishermen. There are numberous fishing lodges and resorts that will cater to your every whim. In the Bahamas, flats abound, and most places are mere minutes from blue water fishing grounds.
Seabird Air can take you to the resort of your choice or arrange to meet your boat just about anywhere you want to be.
Day Tripping (and beyond)
Seabird Air also offers a selection of great outings for you and your family.
1. Taste of the Exumas
Take a tour of the Exumas to visit the indigenous iguanas of Allan's Cay. Be sure to bring some grapes for those hungry creatures. They expect to be fed. Have a picnic lunch on a secluded beach. After lunch head to Staniel Cay for a snorkeling experience in Thunderball Grotto (remember that scene where James Bond is airlifted out of the hole in the cave). On your way back to Nassau you might stop at Warderick Wells Cay in the Exuma Land & Sea Park to see a whale skeleton assembled on the beach.
2. Harbour Island
A short 20 minute flight takes you to Harbour Island, where the rich and famous frolic on pink sand beaches. Arrange a bonefishing or deepsea fishing trip or a diving expedition with Valentine's Marina. Rent a golf cart (the preferred mode of transport) and explore the town, there are plenty of great shops to visit. Have lunch at the beachfront Blue Bar at the fabulous Pink Sands Hotel. Whether you are worn out from shopping or surfing, you can relax and enjoy the view of Rose Island, Paradise Island and Atlantis as we whisk you back to Nassau at the end of the day.
3. Abaco Adventure
Fly to Hopetown to visit the famous candystriped lighthouse in one of the prettiest towns in the Bahamas. Rent a power boat to explore the Loyalist Cays, or just use the airplane to snorkel in the Land & Sea Park or find sand dollars (or bonefish) on the Tilloo Cay flats. Have lunch at a beachfront Restaurant on Lubbers Quarter Cay.
4. Design your own adventure!
Seabird Air can arrange Day Trips or longer expeditions to just about any destination in the Bahamas. We work with resort and speciality operators throughout the Family Islands to offer the ultimate in adventure or luxury. We can drop you on the beach for a day (or a week) at the beautiful resort of Cape Santa Maria on Long Island; fly you right to your flats boat at Chubb Cay or the remarkable Flamingo Cay Rod & Gun Club on Andros; ;take you to Pittstown Point on Crooked Island, where the Bonefish are always biting and the Wahoo wait just offshore to become part of your evening meal; arrange a visit to Conception Island, San Salvador or Rum Cay (one of our personal favorites). For the more adventurous, we can offer trips to the uninhabited islands of the Plana or Samana Cays, Hogsty Reef or the Inaguas.
