Champagne Beach Private Swim & Snorkel — Espiritu Santo

Float above a seafloor that bubbles with volcanic gas — nature's own champagne flute. Champagne Beach is consistently ranked among the South Pacific's most breathtaking stretches of white sand and turquoise water, with world-class snorkelling right off the shore.

What to expect

Arrive to a crescent of powdery white sand rimmed by swaying palms and the clearest turquoise water in Vanuatu. Wade into the shallows and feel volcanic micro-bubbles rising around your legs — a completely unique sensation found almost nowhere else on earth. Snorkel the fringing reef to encounter parrotfish, sea turtles, and vivid coral formations just metres from the shore. Your guide provides quality snorkel gear and stays in the water with you, pointing out hidden marine life.
