Norsup is a quiet town in Vanuatu's Sanma Province, located on the western coast of Espiritu Santo, the country's second largest island. One of the island's inland gateways, the town is surrounded by dense rainforest and fertile agricultural plains, with coconut farming, cocoa and avocado cultivation as its main industries, presenting a picture of a typical rural economy in Vanuatu. Despite its small size, Norsup is favored by tourists for its proximity to the world-famous Blue Hole dive site, a stopover for exploring the natural beauty of Santo Island. The local culture retains a rich heritage of traditional practices, and the friendly inhabitants, set against the pristine natural landscape, offer visitors a slower South Pacific experience away from the hustle and bustle.
