The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Descend into one of the world's most accessible and awe-inspiring wreck dives — a 200-metre WWII troopship sunk in 1942, resting in shallow-to-deep water just metres from shore. Encounter the iconic 'Lady' ceramic relief, field artillery, gas masks, and intact staterooms frozen in time.
Hike through ancient rainforest, wade jungle rivers, abseil into Vanuatu's largest cave system, and float out through a cathedral of stalactites on a bamboo raft — a bucket-list adventure that combines everything wild and extraordinary about Espiritu Santo.
Slip into the impossibly turquoise, spring-fed waters of the Matevulu Blue Hole and the famous Blue Lagoon — two of the most photogenic natural swimming pools on earth, shaded by tropical forest and fed by ice-cool freshwater springs.
Snorkel directly over tens of millions of dollars' worth of American military equipment — trucks, bulldozers, jeeps, and aircraft parts — deliberately pushed into the sea by the US Army in 1945 and now blanketed in coral and teeming with tropical fish.
Witness the hypnotic, UNESCO-recognised water music of the Leweton village women — a haunting percussion tradition created by striking the lagoon's surface — then share in village kastom, traditional weaving, and local food in an intimate, respectful cultural exchange.
Canter along deserted white-sand beaches and through coconut groves on a private or small-group ride with Santo Horse Adventures — Tripadvisor-acclaimed as a genuine bucket-list experience for horse lovers in one of the Pacific's most spectacular settings.
