The third blue hole, Nanda or Jackie’s Blue Hole is located at the top of Turtle Bay (about 1.5 – 2hr paddle north of the house). You can kayak there from the house however it is a long paddle (2hrs +) and only recommended for experienced sea kayakers. Make sure to paddle up the river on an incoming high tide (stay to the left) – its about 4km to reach the blue hole but its’ definitely worth the effort (like being in the Amazon without the crocs or nasties).
Jackie’s Blue Hole can also be reached by car (approx. 6-8 min. drive past Turtle Bay) and features a small cafe. It costs a little more for the entry fee than other Santo blue holes (1000vt vs 500vt for the others) but you do get a free coffee/tea and cake with entry. Note – there is now a second entrance to Nanda Blue Hole – just south of the main entrance – but this is not the actual blue hole – just a section of the river leading away from it – operated by a different custom owner! Still nice for a swim but nothing like the real thing.
