Essential Santo

Vanuatu’s largest island, Espiritu Santo, is an essential inclusion in your Vanuatu itinerary! Boasting world-class beaches and a range of water sports, plus inland and cultural adventures, our 4-day Santo package is your best value option to discover this incredible island!

4 days / 3 nights (2 night option also available)

Our Essential Santo package includes beachfront accommodation, breakfast daily, Santo airport transfers, domestic airfares from Port Vila, a full-day Santo East Coast tour and two half day tour options. You won’t get better value than this carefully crafted package!

Santo is famous for its ‘blue holes’, spring-fed swimming spots in the heart of the rainforest, with water so clear and blue it will take your breath away! The full-day Santo East Coast tour includes Matevulu or Nanda blue hole, as well as world-class Champagne Beach and lunch off the menu at a beachfront restaurant in the Francophone community of Port Olry.

Your accommodation is at Beachfront Resort, a tropical beach side setting on 6 acres of lawns and gardens, with 150 metres of absolute waterfront. Located just 2 kms from the town centre, Beachfront Resort is far enough out from town to avoid the noise but close enough to visit restaurants and markets. Beachfront Resort offers excellent accommodation overlooking the sheltered waters of Segond Channel and Aore Island and welcomes families and children, with plenty of space for the kids to safely run free. A special family unit at Deco Stop Lodge is used for family groups (2 adults & 2+ children).

We book and pay for your domestic airfares as part of this package.

You may choose two other half day tours, from the options below:

Riri Blue Hole & Million Dollar Point: start your tour with a snorkel to discover the incredible array of American relics from WW2, and learn about Santo’s role in the war. We then head to Riri river where you will take an outrigger canoe upriver to experience the wonders of Riri Blue Hole
Tuffuntari Waterfall & Village/ Black Sand Beach Walk: get off the beaten track to South Santo! The south coast is a contrast to the more visited east coast, with more forest and more traditional villages. Cool down at the waterfall and discover daily life in this remote area
Loru Wildlife: for nature lovers, head back up the east coast to Loru Conservation Area, which preserves some of Santo’s last remaining lowland rainforest. A mecca for birders, you may encounter the rare Vanuatu Megapode, as well as coconut crabs and a micro-bat cave, during your 1.5 – 2 hour trek with local guides. Finish with a fruit platter at the local village
Dugong Spotting & Snorkelling: travel the east coast lagoon by boat to spot local dugongs, hear about Santo history and snorkel on pristine reefs
Morning Double Dive on the SS Coolidge: renowned as one of the world’s greatest wreck dives, the Coolidge was a victim of the war and now provides a truly incredible dive site! Surcharge applies. Dive certificate required.
