Questions about the experience

Questions about Inland Blue Hole

Is the Inland Blue Hole the same as the Great Blue Hole?

They are different places. The Inland Blue Hole is a freshwater pool in St. Herman's Blue Hole National Park on the mainland near Belmopan. The Great Blue Hole is offshore at Lighthouse Reef. A mainland visit does not include an offshore boat trip, flight or scuba dive.

What can we do at the Inland Blue Hole?

Visit the forest setting and, when the park permits it, swim in the freshwater pool. There are paths and steps to reach the water. Heavy rain or other conditions can affect swimming, and a cave visit requires its own arrangements if it is not listed in your itinerary.
