Forfar field station is amazing. That's all I have to say. I went there in May with Clark Montessori as a marine biolgy study. There were 22 of us. I enjoyed that trip so much. We stayed at the field Station for 3 nights, than on the Forfar boats at Fresh Creek for 4 nights. I enjoyed the field Station... More

The best vacation ive ever been on. The snorkeling was awesome, and each day we went out on about a 6 hour... More

If you want a true eco-experience, this is it. I travelled with my Dad and brother for a true "boys'" escape. We are NOT the "eco" types at all. However, the staff and accomodations have us reconsidering our future trips. It was educational and rustic. I will be back. More

I had only been on a plane trip once, lol, a few months before. I was 17 and I went with my Biology 2 Gt class. There was 20 of us. We stayed at Forfar. We got out of the taxis and I walked up to the beach. All I could do was stare at the amazing blue of the... More

I spent about ten weeks in a cabin at Forfar, learning about the local flora and fuana, scubadiving, sailing, windsurfing, snorkling, and being immersed in the culture of the island. I must say that it was one of the most exciting trips I have ever taken. The staff there for the most part are great. They always took care of... More

The experience is unimaginably awsome: Diving in prestine waters, seeing the corals, local craftsmen carve and weave masterpieces right before your eyes, bone fishing, (my learning experience in fly fishing), life changing history and the ever friendly cultural interaction with the locals. Prepare yourself to be totally submerged into a life where priorities are different, life is meaningful and is... More

I went to Forfar in 2000 with my marine biology class. It's been a long time, but I still consider the experience one of the best in my life. I still look at pictures and miss the field station and the island. The field station was peaceful and beautiful. I can only hope I'll be able to return one day. More

I stayed in at the Forfar Station when I was 14 or 15, for a marine study with my school Clark. It was really awesome, everyone was kind and it's a beautiful view. More
