More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the trail into a humid hush: palms and mahogany close in, the forest floor soft underfoot, and the cave mouth yawns like a dark invitation. Guides hand over tubes and life jackets, brief the route, then you push into water that carries you into a long, cool throat of limestone. St. Herman's Blue Hole caves are dimly lit by shafts of daylight and the occasional headlamp; water laps at rock scallops, and stalactites point down like the ribs of an old ship.
