Just 2.5 hours by direct flight from Brisbane, Espiritu Santo (known locally as Santo) is the largest island in Vanuatu and a bucket-list destination for everything above and below the water.
With world-renowned dive sites literally on the doorstep, Santo is one of the best scuba diving destinations in the South Pacific. The SS President Coolidge — widely considered the greatest accessible wreck dive in the world — and Million Dollar Point sit just minutes from shore. Beyond the wrecks, vastly untouched coral reefs are home to schools of tropical fish, rays, turtles, and incredible macro life.
Crystal-clear visibility and warm water year-round make Santo the perfect destination for every kind of diver — beginners building confidence, underwater photographers chasing reef life, and technical divers pushing depth on the Coolidge.
Santo is no less spectacular above the surface. Home to some of the best beaches in the South Pacific, breathtaking natural blue holes, and a great range of adventure activities — horse riding, kayaking, canyoneering, and jungle trekking — there’s something for every traveller. Whether you want to relax on a tropical beach with a cocktail or get stuck into the rugged wilderness of Vanuatu, Santo delivers. That makes it the perfect destination for divers and their non-diving partners, families, and friends alike.
Add authentic Ni-Vanuatu tribal culture — local villages, traditional markets, and island cuisine all on the doorstep — and Santo becomes something truly rare: a world-class dive destination that’s still relatively undiscovered, uncrowded, and completely unlike anywhere else.

All you need to do is get yourself to Espiritu Santo. The easiest way is to take advantage of direct flights from Brisbane, or a short stopover via Auckland with Solomon Airlines.
