Espiritu Santo

Espiritu Santo is the largest island of Vanuatu and is the best place to experience the traditional culture of the islands. For scuba divers, Espiritu Santo is one of the best places to go, also because of the shipwrecks you find here that date from WW II. President Coolidge is the largest intact shipwreck accessible to divers in the world. The destroyer USS Tucker lies outside the channel.

Vatthe Conservation Area is one of Santo's highlights for nature walks and bird watching.

Luganville, the capital, is the only other town of reasonable size outside Port Vila. Although facilities are not as diverse as Vila, travellers will find their basic needs well catered for. There are numerous small restaurants and coffee shops, a sports club, several dive shops, hotels, grocery and produce stores along the lengthy main street.
