  2. Coconut Oil Factory

    There's a small Coconut Oil Factory that operates most weekdays, and the obliging manager Ron Hawkins will be happy to show you around (probably for free if you buy some of his natural skin-care products based on nambagura plant oil). It's an interesting enterprise. Take the turn-off to Nambel and cross the disused Lambue wartime airfield. The factory is at the back of the house on the left about 1km past the old strip.

  4. Lysepsep Culture Park

    Like the leprechauns in Ireland, the Lysepsep people were the first inhabitants of Santo. They live a reclusive life in banyans and caves. Most people have never seen them, but spend time in the central jungle and impenetrable mountains of Central Santo, and you may find them watching you. About a metre tall, they grow their hair very long and use it as a screen.

  5. Million Dollar Point

    Million Dollar Point, where hundreds of tonnes of US military equipment was dumped, now shows its coral-encrusted machinery to snorkellers and divers. At low tide you'll find metal objects littering the beach for a kilometre in either direction. Don't leave your valuables around while you dive.
