More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a narrow lane where damp limestone and tropical ferns crowd the road; the Blue Hole's pools appear like bright coins scattered down a steep, green throat. Water calls you first — clear, cool, and insistent — while guides shout directions and laughter bounces off stone as people step, climb and jump into basins carved by centuries of flow.
