Andros Island is world-famous for having the highest concentration of blue holes in the world — underwater caves and sinkholes that connect to the ocean, creating a mystical environment for swimming and exploration. Guided tours visit spectacular inland blue holes that are safe for swimming and perfect for cooling off after a morning of fishing.
Captain Bill's Blue Hole is famous for its high jumping platform; Cousteau's Blue Hole was explored by Jacques Cousteau himself. Local folklore says the deep holes are home to the 'Lusca', a mythical sea monster — the guides know the safe spots.
The island also has the longest coastline in the country and countless inland lagoons and mangrove creeks, which means safe, comfortable kayaking conditions year-round despite the weather. Routes wind through the Caribbean's largest mangrove system, teeming with biodiversity.
Offshore, the Andros barrier reef — the third-largest in the world — and hundreds of patch reefs make for an unforgettable snorkel experience: reef fish, majestic coral formations, sea turtles, stingrays and nurse sharks, with shallow, safe areas for families.
