Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu will BLOW YOUR MIND! Don't visit without watching this first!
Espiritu Santo (commonly called Santo) is the largest island in Vanuatu. There are far fewer visitors here than you will find in Efate, and there is a much more local community feel.
Here I will show you five awesome places to visit in Espiritu Santo including:
1:40 Lonnoc Beach
2:09 Champagne Beach
2:45 Nanda Blue Hole
3:42 Riri Blue Hole
5:12 Port Olry
It is possible to visit all 5 destinations in just one day, however, I highly recommend spending a few nights on Santo. There are some great guesthouses in the main city Luganville, and some super laid back bungalows further up the coast like Lonnoc Beach Bungalows.

Espiritu Santo Island Vanuatu | Blue Lagoons, Port Orly, Champagne Beach
The following video will highlight how to make the most out of a day at Espiritu Santo island Vanuatu.
We highly recommend that you hire a car for the day trip. You can also hire a local driver but driving around Santo Island is so easy and there is only one main road so it was great to explore at our own pace.
Drive all the way to the North of Santo Island and make your first stop at the beautiful Port Orly Beach.
Next head back and stop at Lonnoc and the very popular Champagne Beach on Santo Island.
Lastly, check out three of the most beautiful blue holes in Santo Island: Matevulu Blue Hole, Riri Blue Hole and Nanda (or Jackie’s) Blue Hole.
Make sure to have a fair bit of cash on you as you will need to pay entrance fees to visit the beaches as well as the blue holes.
We hope you enjoyed our video on what to do on Santo Island in one day.

Luganville Espiritu Santo Vanuatu 4K
Luganville is the second largest city of the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. We had the opportunity on our cruise with the Sun Princess for a day to get to know this area in the South Sea. We bathed in the Blue Hole Matevulu, felt the South Sea feeling on the beachfront near Luganville and snorkeled a sunken helicopter wreck from World War II. Before leaving we visited the many souvenir shops and a small local cafe, a successful day, as so often in the South Seas with little sun.

Vanuatu Travel guide
Vanuatu Travel guide
Vanuatu is an archipelago nation consisting of 83 islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean, north of New Zealand and east of Australia. With such a large north-south area, Vanuatu has all the tropical variances possible. From hot and humid in the north, to mild and dry in the south. Vanuatu is a Pacific island adventure far beyond any notions of cruise-ship ports and flashy resorts. Deserted beaches, ancient culture, remote and rugged islands and world-class diving are just a small part of the magnetism of this scattered 80-plus island archipelago.
The islands of Vanuatu are grouped into six geographic provinces, the names formed by combining the first syllables or letters of the major islands in each.
-Torba
Torres Islands and Banks Islands
-Sanma (Luganville)
Espiritu Santo, Aore and Malo
-Penama
Pentecost, Ambae and Maewo
-Malampa
Malakula, Ambrym and Paama
-Shefa (Port-Vila)
Shepherd Group and Efate
-Tafea
Tanna, Aniwa, Futuna, Erromango and Aneityum
The national airline, Air Vanuatu, operates domestic flights throughout the islands. Comfortable daily flights in the 72 seater ATR aircraft connect Port Vila with Santo and Tanna, but elsewhere, domestic flights are a very different experience from flying internationally with Air Vanuatu. There are two ferry boats operating regularly on the route Vila - Santo: 1: Vanuatu Ferry and the Big Sista. Both ships are fairly comfortable. In Port Vila the buses are mini vans seating about 10 people, which largely traverse the main road and go and stop where you would like them to go. You can easily identify a bus as their licence plate starts with a B. Taxis are plentiful within Port Vila. Fare is calculated per taxi. You can easily tell and tax as their licence plate starts with a T. Within Vila Town, the taxi is 500 vatu for everyone inside, so if you have more than 3 people, it's cheaper than a bus.
The Vanuatu people are a delight to photograph, friendly, co-operative and photogenic especially the children who are simply gorgeous. Yes, they love to be photographed but please do not offer to pay to photograph local people as this will quickly discourage spontaneity and encourage commercialisation. Always ask before taking photos of local people.
There are many restaurants and eateries in Port Vila, ranging from up-market places catering to tourists and expats, to more low-key establishments. The main markets in Port Vila and Luganville have sections selling cheap rice meals.
Around Port Vila and Luganville there is a range of accommodation, from dorm beds to luxury resorts. Prices are not super cheap by developing-country standards but there's a reasonable amount of moderately-priced accommodation. Eating out is expensive in Port Vila so self-catering is a good option for those on a budget. In Port Vila, you can pay as little as 2000 VT a night if you're prepared to slum it; for something reasonably nice you'll be looking at 5-10,000 VT. Luxury options are considerably more.
On rural islands, accommodation is provided mostly by small family-run guest bungalows. These are usually friendly and charming but very basic in terms of facilities (though Tanna has a couple of better-developed accommodation options). Some church missions also have guestrooms. Prices for basic rural accommodation typically range from 1,000 to 3,000VT per person per night. Rural bungalows usually also provide meals, as there are generally no alternative eating options other than breakfast crackers and tinned spam from the village store.
A lot to see in Vanuatu such as :
Erakor Island
Iririki
Mele Cascades
National Museum of Vanuatu
Erakor Lagoon
Vanuatu Cultural Centre
Mele
Vanuatu Helicopters
Michoutouchkine & Pilioko Foundation Art Gallery
Underwater Post Office
Port Vila Harbour
Ifira
Fatumaru Bay
Eratap
Vila Bay
Mele Bay
Teouma
Hideaway Island

Exploring beautiful Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu - Tropical beaches and coral reefs in paradise!
This is a short 4 day video and timelapse exploration of Vanuatu. Staying at Barrier Beach Resort on Espiritu Santo was the perfect spot to take in the utter beauty of the landscapes and people. I've never seen water that blue before. The ability to snorkel over reefs right out my front door was incredible.
A must see if you're a fan of relaxing!

Vanuatu Champagne Bay Island Espiritu Santo 4K
On our cruise through the South Pacific, we stopped at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. To get to the Champagne Bay we had to tend from the cruise ship Sun Princess. The beach is located on the east coast of the largest island Espiritu Santo of the small island state of Vanuatu. The beach owes its name to the constant bubbling of fresh water from the earth in the area of the coral-rich water, which is particularly suitable for snorkeling. The weather was not so good, but the feeling with the turquoise clear water was still unclouded!

5 Days on Santo Island (Vanuatu Video 4)
I spent 5 days on the second biggest island in Vanuatu, Santo, visiting some blue hole lagoons, a trip on a dodgy bicycle, swimming in what was voted the best beach in the world in 2006 and exploring a secret garden!
Beautiful Champagne Beach, Vanuatu on Espiritu Santo Island!
Champagne Beach, Vanuatu is one of the best beaches in the South Pacific Region. This beach is located on the island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu. It has crystal clear water and soft powdery white sand. One our day there the beach was nearly deserted (except for 3 other visitors). Cruise boats stop in at this beach, so if you are after some peace, try to avoid the cruise ship days. We loved our time at the beach and recommend you make the trip to see it.

What is there to see in Santo, Vanuatu? Santo Heritage Tours
Thank you to Santo Heritage Tours for our day exploring with Tok Tok Vanuatu.
Our guide, Samuel, picked us up at Barrier Beach Resort at 10am and we had a fantastic adventure.
There are many coconut plantations and we stopped to savor a fresh coconut with an island straw. In Vanuatu, they use all the parts of the coconut. You can weave a mat or basket with the fronds. You can make a broom. You can start a fire and you can use the trunk for your house. It is the fruit of life because you can walk carrying only coconuts and you can drink and eat from the coconut. The trees can live for 100 years.
Did you know that there are 83 islands, 6 provinces, 115 languages and 40 dialects in Vanuatu? But everyone can tok tok bislama.
Samuel added to my list of words I can speak or tok tok in the local language of Bislama.

We passed by Riri River where we had already gone by canoe 3km to the Blue Hole.
We saw the road to James Michener’s house where he wrote South Pacific. He lived on an island just off Santo which is now privately and you cannot visit.
There is food growing all over the island like pumpkin and taro and you can make a living fence with banana and papaya trees. There are plantations now of Noni which is used to treat many diseases. I loved seeing all of the Banyan trees.
I absolutely loved swimming at Champagne beach. The stunning white sand and gorgeous area captivated my heart. I wanted to stay all day.
Mandy and I had lunch with a view in Port Olry at Harbor beach view restaurant. I loved the water there too and cannot wait to return.
As we arrived at Nanda or Jackie’s Blue hole, our sunshine turned to liquid sunshine but I went in the clear blue water anyway!
Thank you to Mandy Buttenshaw from DownUnder Journeys for the video and photo assistance and for being a great dive buddy and travel companion. Do you want to travel to Vanuatu? Contact her for the best information on the South Pacific!
