Clean fresh water with an amazing colour you will never forget. There are three close to Luganville easy to get to. The welcome at Jackie's Blue hole is a highlight.

We were spellbound by the vivid colour of this inland lagoon. Incredible to be able to see all the way to the bottom – the water is crystal clear. A rope dangles tantalisingly from the branch of a stunning banyan tree and enormous fun is had doing the tarzan swing before letting go and plummeting into the lagoon below. The... More

The blue hole was huge and as its name suggests very, very blue and clear. Recommend a snorkel and camera!

We hired a Kayak from Oyster Island Resort, and Kayaked up the river until we reached the blue hole. The trip took approx 1 hour and was incredibly serene and peaceful. The blue hole is a beautiful location, a well maintained garden with bright flowers contrast against the amazing crystal clear blue water. The kayak trip back took approx 45minutes.... More

My partner and I kayaked from Oyster Island Resort, and the whole journey was so peaceful! The river water slowly started to turn crystal clear, cold and blue! We were glad we brought our goggles to really get a sense of how pristine the water was. We also had fun climbing up the banyan tree when the locals showed us... More

loved it here.. never seen water as beautiful as this before. if you are looking to travel to Santo, do yourself a favour and visit the equisite waters of the blue hole. The water is fresh water and you are basically diving in what was once a volcanic crater.

We enjoyed the kayak trip from Oyster Island Resort. Swimming in the beautiful clear crystal water. The lush tropical forest was just WOW!

Swimming in a gorgeous, clear, very deep fresh water blue hole is my definition of being in a tropical paradise. Some of the blue holes have rope swings and slides for added fun and adventure. Often magnificent Banyan trees or natural forest surrounds.
