Blue Holes National Park

The Blue Hole National Park and it’s incredible natural spaces offer excellent opportunities for recreation and outdoor adventures. Infrastructure developed in the park has led to the creation of many education and outdoor programs that get people exploring this park. These include the Parks Pal program, which takes school groups from New Providence on day trips to the park and Eco Camp, which is an intensive week-long summer camp aimed at getting teenagers to appreciate the outdoors. The highlight of the Eco Camp experience is getting the campers to camp in The Blue Holes National Park for 2 days and take the ‘Leap of Faith’. 

Capt. Bill’s Blue Hole is certainly the most popular attraction in the park, for good reason. It’s a nearly perfectly round blue hole with a wide diameter and a depth of 100+ feet. You’re guided to this blue hole by a short hiking trail with incorporated interpretive signage. At the end of the trail is a boardwalk and gazebo with a sitting area. The gazebo has a ledge that extends over 15 feet over the surface of the Blue Hole. This is where you take the Leap of Faith. We promise you, once you do it, you’ll do it a second time.  

We encourage everyone to exercise caution when entering Capt. Bill’s Blue Hole as the top layer is freshwater which is less buoyant than saltwater, making it a bit more difficult to float.

For those of you not up to the jump, there’s a staircase that descends into the water. There are floating devices and a floating dock to take advantage of while you are in the water. 

Developing the ecotourism potential in the Blue Holes National Park has highlighted it as a national asset and increased the ecotourism value of Andros. Many people from around the world come to experience the park, the island of Andros and the magnificence of Blue Holes.
