Local Traditions
After breakfast on board, head ashore to meet the people who perform the world-famous Nagol, or land diving. Visit their villages and listen to their stories that depict this incredible ritual. If you visit from April to June, you can witness this brave feat for yourself. Continue hiking through the jungle for the chance to cool off in several waterfalls and swimming holes, or head back to shore and spot turtles as you snorkel along the coastline.
Anchor off Espiritu Santo where you will have the opportunity to deep dive to several WWII shipwrecks. Diving the SS President Coolidge, you will swim through numerous holds and decks, witnessing eerily submerged guns, cannons, and jeeps. If you are feeling adventurous – trek inland through Nambel Village, canyoning across caves and rivers to reach the Millennium Cave Waterfalls and Hidden World Waterfall. Here, you can enjoy truly world-class diving as you explore caves, tunnels, and stunning reef walls.
