You step off the coach into a slice of St. Ann’s inland green: limestone cliffs, a river running cool and blue, and the low chatter of other visitors as the falls dare you forward. The Blue Hole — often called Secret Falls — is raw and immediate: natural pools threaded by short cascades, cliff-jump ledges, and steps carved into mossy rock that lead you higher into the gullies.
