Espiritu Santo
A WWII shipwreck you can dive straight from the beach, a natural blue hole so clear it looks lit from underneath, and a rainforest interior that saw more American troops pass through in the war than almost anywhere else in the Pacific.
The best time to visit Espiritu Santo is May–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (85°F). Local time there is 03:54 (UTC+11).
