The largest of Vanuatu's islands, Espiritu Santo is home to the legendary SS President Coolidge wreck, hidden blue holes, and beaches so white they seem unreal. Offshore, coral reefs and seagrass beds harbor turtles, dugongs, and colorful reef fish, while inland rivers can be found cutting through dense jungle. Santo's caves and villages add heavy texture, making the island a place where history, ecology, and adventure all can be found in one.
The official tourism authority for Vanuatu, promoting the islands as a sustainable travel destination. They support eco-tourism ventures, cultural heritage preservation, and community-led conservation projects that benefit local livelihoods while safeguarding Vanuatu's rich marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
On Santo’s north coast, Port Orly feels truly off the map. Coconut palms arch over white beaches, and the waters shimmer with tropical fish and corals. Its remote location keeps it off the tourist trail, often visited by those in search of something different. Many of the reefs are undocumented and hardly explored, while laidback village life is all that you’ll find right up against the shore.
