Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu

April 8, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

The pink sands of Champagne Beach spill into warm waters filled with wrecks and reefs begging to be explored by Espiritu Santo vacationers. Rinse off with a dip in one of the island’s many freshwater blue holes. Trek over a bamboo bridge to visit the bats and swallows of Millennium Cave, who nap among spectacular rock formations. Divers can wave hello to "The Lady," one of the many intact artifacts of the wreck of the SS President Coolidge.

Recently we were on a Cruise and got detoured to Luganville due to death of the Chief on the Isle of Pines. We were taken to Luganville instead, and so glad we were. It is a beautiful place and the people are so friendly. We did the glass bottom boat tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth doing. The lady on the trip with us was very friendly and informative. Well worth doing this trip. So glad we went to Luganville would love to go back there and see more.

Santo Horse Adventures

Reviewed By 501gt - Australia, null

We highly recommend this tour! Our morning started with being picked up from our accommodation by friendly Megan and taken to her 200-acre riding ranch near Surranda Bay on the Coral Sea. Megan does a wonderful job with her many rescue horses and was very good checking out everyone’s riding experience to match us up with appropriate horses - all of which may have some quirks from their past mistreatment but are wonderful animals. We loved riding through the Island’s countryside, farms, mangrove rainforest and even through a village preparing for a local wedding! Meanwhile, Megan and her local Ni-Vanuatu riding guide explained some of the native bush and birds we saw. The best part was riding through a freshwater stream covered with mangrove trees down to the sea, and of course Megan herself. We sincerely hope that she, her family, workers, and horses are safe after the recent Cyclone Harold and that tourists are soon able to return to her magical ‘Santo’ Island paradise.
