"Santo" Espiritu Santo by cosmopolit

Espiritu Santo Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 12 photos

Espiritu Santo

Santo is a one-hour flight from Port Vila and is serviced three times daily by Vanair. Vanuatu’s largest island is fascinating in its diversity. Mt Tabwemasana is the largest mountain in Vanuatu and Luganville is the second biggest town in Vanuatu.
The world famous wreck and spectacular marine life draw scuba divers. During WWII the 30,000-ton liner – “President Coolidge” sank in the Santo Harbour after striking a mine and still lies structurally intact in between 25 and 60 metres of water. This, largest accessible shipwreck for scuba divers in the world, together with the ‘USS Tucker’, Million Dollar Point, shark feeding dives and many pristine reef sites make it a divers dream.

Pros and Cons

In a nutshell:Less hectic and busy than Vila ;-)
