activities
snorkeling
Take an excursion to one of the popular marine parks where you can enjoy a leisurely snorkel around the elkhorn coral and an abundance of sea life. Or you can just snorkel right off the beach in town where the reef is about 20 yards offshore in some spots. No need to bring all of your heavy snorkel gear, it can be rented on the island.
fishing charters
Abaco is also known for its great game and deep-sea fishing. There are a number of local fishing guides that can accommodate whatever type of fishing you prefer; whether it be bone fishing, reef fishing, or deep sea fishing for tuna, mahi mahi etc. Learn more
lighthouse
Climb to the top of the Hope Town Lighthouse where the panoramic view is breathtaking. The Lighthouse is boat access only, so you will have to take your runabout to the lighthouse dock. You can also hop on one of the scheduled ferries and ask the captain if it would be possible for him to drop you at the lighthouse (you will have to wait for the next ferry to get a ride back). Hope Town Inn and Marina offer a shuttle to their resort. You can be picked up by them and grab lunch or a drink and take a stroll over to the lighthouse. They will drop you back when you're ready.
