Riri Riri River Canoe Trip
This half-day tour is a relaxing way to experience one of
Santo’s famous blue holes.
A 30-minute bus trip from
your hotel will take you to
the mouth of Riri Riri River.
Your guide will paddle a local
‘dugout’ canoe, whilst you sit
back and enjoy the beautiful
tropical scenery.
Get
Into
Santo
See it all. Do it all.
Look out for freshwater
prawns and fish, electric
blue dragon flies, and
remnants of an old bridge
built by the Americans
during World War II.
As the river water
becomes bluer, you’ll
know you’re not far away
from The Matavulu Blue
Hole, a huge freshwater
pool of iridescent blue,
unique in its colour from
the effect of limestone
combining with freshwater.
The clarity is amazing!
Cool off with a refreshing
swim - bring your mask
and snorkel for a closer
look below.
After your swim,
canoe back down
the river, where your
awaiting bus will return
you to your hotel/resort
in time for lunch.
Lifejackets are
supplied but not
compulsory.
*TIP..
Please bring hat
and sunscreen,
swimmers, towel,
and drinking water.
