Destination Information

Espiritu Santo

The largest of Vanuatu's 83 islands, this mystical and special place inspired author James A. Michener's legendary "Tales of the South Pacific".

Vanuatu: Santo Beach Little has changed since the days when French planters established huge coconut (copra) plantations and the island was a major allied base during World War 11.

Here you will find powdery white sand beaches including Champagne Beach, regarded as one of the world's best beaches; crystal clear blue waters with stunning jewel-like islands just a few hundred metres from coconut fringed beaches; majestic mountains stretching from one end of the island to the other; awesome ravines shrouded in magnificent tropical rainforest and home to jungle birds and beautiful orchids; and ancient Melanesian villages.

Santo is renowned among divers for the remarkable clarity of its waters, its stunning coral reefs and its amazing marine life.

This is the place to dive the world's most accessible ship wreck "USS President Coolidge" and "Million Dollar Point", a man-made reef of World War II surplus machinery including jeeps and tanks.

Other Regions

Efate (and Port Vila)
Port Vila and the tropical island of Efate is the perfect introduction to Vanuatu with coconut palm fringed beaches, crystal clear lagoons, stunning coral reefs, a magnificent natural harbour, lush tropical rainforests and the welcoming smiles of the islanders known as "ni Vanuatu".

Tanna
The ancient island of Tanna is renowned for Mt Yasur, the world's most accessible active volcano. Spectacular eruptions of glowing ash and stones hurled into the night air provide a tour you will never forget. But this is also the place for wild horses, custom villages and cargo cults. Black rock, sand and jagged reefs are the remains of lava flows thousands of years ago.
