Cruises from Paradise Lagoon

Paradise Lagoon is located off the SE end of Espiritu Santo, an island of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. This is the largest of 83 volcanic islands in the archipelago. In 1606, the Portuguese navigator, Pedro Fernandes de Queiros, was the first European to discover the archipelago. The navigator established a colony at Paradise Bay and named it New Jerusalem. Its exact location is difficult to find on a map, as there are claims that it was at the north of Espiritu Santo, and claims for the south.
