Blue Holes National Park

National Park·Rugged, Untouched, Wild
Established in 2002, Blue Holes National Park protects a significant portion of the unique landscape on Andros Island. The park covers 40,000 acres and is characterized by its namesake blue holes—submerged sinkholes that offer a glimpse into the island's complex geological history. It serves as a vital sanctuary for local flora and fauna, providing a rugged and authentic experience for visitors interested in the natural history of the Bahamas. The area is largely undeveloped, making it a premier destination for those looking to explore the wilder side of the archipelago. Visitors should come prepared for a remote experience in one of the Bahamas' most ecologically significant protected areas.
