Operated by Dany Island · Luganville, Sanma
The boat slips away from Santo’s east coast and the horizon opens into a palette of greens and blues — a shallow reef garden awaiting the day’s visitors. On arrival to Dany Island, guests step from a small skiff onto warm sand, the sea quietly rearranging shells at their feet while turtles glide through the nearby bommie fields. The island’s private reserve protects over a million square metres of coral and reef channels, and the certified marine sanctuary status reflects both the richness of the sea and local efforts to manage it.

Espiritu Santo played a strategic role during WWII and the island’s coastal waters contain both living reefs and remnants of wartime vessels; local landowners manage Dany Island under customary tenure.
The marine sanctuary status helps regulate fishing and tourism; visitors are asked to use reef-safe products, avoid touching coral, and respect turtle nesting areas to minimize impact.
