The definitive Espiritu Santo day — swim electric-blue freshwater springs, bask on the South Pacific's most iconic beach, and snorkel a submerged WWII arsenal, all in a single private full-day journey across this extraordinary island.
What to expect
Your private 4WD departs early, heading first to the Nanda Blue Hole for a refreshing morning swim in waters so clear they appear illuminated from below. Next, a scenic coastal drive delivers you to Champagne Beach — time to snorkel the volcanic bubble vents, walk the sand, and enjoy a light tropical lunch under the palms. The afternoon brings Million Dollar Point, where you snorkel above a ghostly underwater graveyard of American military machinery now cloaked in coral and circled by turtles. Your guide weaves Ni-Vanuatu history, WWII stories, and island ecology into every stop.
Good to know
This is a full 7–8 hour day; confirm your precise all-aboard time and share it with your guide so the return is timed perfectly. Bring a dry bag, reef-safe sunscreen, a light cover-up, and AUD/vatu cash for the Champagne Beach entry fee (AUD 15). Private bookings should be secured at least 2 weeks before your cruise date.
