Vanuatu's blue holes are among the most photographed natural wonders in the Pacific — freshwater or brackish springs that emerge from underground aquifers with an extraordinary electric-blue colour caused by the refraction of sunlight through pure water.

The most celebrated blue hole in Vanuatu, Nanda is a series of interconnected freshwater pools fed by underground springs. The colour — a surreal, almost luminescent blue — must be seen in person to be believed. A series of rope swings and natural diving platforms make it equally thrilling.
Set within a jungle clearing near Luganville, Matevulu's calm, crystal-clear waters are fed by a cold underground spring. The site is popular for swimming and snorkelling, and the shallow areas reveal an extraordinary view of submerged root systems and fish.
Accessible by dugout canoe along the Riri River, this remote blue hole requires effort to reach but rewards with near-total solitude. The river journey itself passes through traditional village land and dense mangrove systems.
Smaller and quieter than Nanda, Lonnoc is often used as a swimming and meditation spot by those seeking absolute calm. It sits in a coconut grove a short walk from the beach, making it a perfect half-day combination with a coastal walk.
A short drive from Port Vila, this easily accessible blue lagoon offers a taste of Vanuatu's freshwater wonders for visitors with limited time. Rope swings, a floating platform, and a café make it a popular half-day excursion from the capital.
