Activities

Canoeing on Riri River

Paddle along the Riri River in an outrigger canoe, surrounded by tropical greenery and beautifully clear freshwater. Enjoy a peaceful river outing and arrange your canoe experience with a local operator.

Leweton Cultural Experience

Near Luganville, Leweton Cultural Experience — also known as Leweton Cultural Village — shares a remarkable tradition of Espiritu Santo. Local women stand waist-deep in water and slap the surface to create rhythmic, percussion-like sounds: the island’s magical water music.

• Water music by the river or pools
• Traditional island dancing and singing
• Kava root preparation and tasting
• Traditional fire-making and weaving demonstrations

Snorkelling on local reefs

Discover colourful reef fish and coral in Santo’s clear coastal water. Arrange a local snorkelling outing, choose a site suited to your swimming ability and enjoy the reef without touching coral or wildlife.

Turtle and dugong spotting

Look out for sea turtles and dugongs in Santo’s coastal waters with a local operator. Wildlife encounters depend on conditions and are never guaranteed. Keep a respectful distance and let animals move freely.

River horse riding

Enjoy horse riding in the river with Santo Horse Adventures. Experience the island from the saddle on a guided outing, and contact the operator to confirm availability, riding suitability and current river conditions.
