Location
Nanda Blue Hole is the most stunning blue hole in Vanuatu. The water of this natural spring is so magically deep blue that has to be seen to be believed.
The water flows to the spring through underground limestone caves. As the water in a blue hole is filtered underground through limestone it becomes close to pure. This combined with the depth of the blue hole, create the luminous blue colour. At its deepest, the blue hole is about 13m deep.
The spring is owned by a local family that has developed some rustic facilties that fit in with the rainforest surrounding. There is a large under cover area, a bar, picnic area, waterslide and a rope swing with a platform.
The Nanda Blue Hole is located half way between Luganville and Champagne Beach not far from several resorts including Turtle Bay Lodge and Oyster Island Resort.
