Luganville is the second city of Vanuatu and its food scene blends Melanesian staples with strong French influence, a legacy of the Condominium era. Fresh fish, lobster and tropical fruit dominate, while the town's bakeries and patisseries reflect the French tradition. Resorts and waterfront restaurants serve grilled wahoo, coconut-curry reef fish and lap lap, and the weekly market is the place to taste local produce and meet Ni-Vanuatu vendors.

Espiritu Santo is Vanuatu's wreck-diving capital and the home of the SS President Coolidge, the largest accessible shipwreck on the planet. The 200 m troopship lies on its side just off a beach near Luganville, reachable as a shore dive from 17 to 70 m, with the porcelain 'Lady', the holds, the engine room and the massive stern all to explore across multiple dives. Nearby, Million Dollar Point is an underwater museum of bulldozed WWII equipment now draped in coral, while Tutuba Island Wall and the Aore Island reefs offer pristine soft-coral walls and calm gardens. The island's blend of world-class history, healthy reefs and easy access makes it the single most famous diving destination in Vanuatu, beloved by both newcomers and technical explorers.
