Moso Island: Private Snorkeling & Cultural Day Tour

Reach the remote, uninhabited shores of Moso Island on a private boat for world-class snorkeling above pristine reef systems, followed by a traditional lunch and an intimate introduction to Ni-Vanuatu island culture. Remote, raw, and utterly unforgettable.

What to expect

Your private boat departs Port Vila harbour, threading through mangrove-fringed channels before reaching Moso's untouched coastline. Two guided snorkel sessions reveal hard and soft corals, sea turtles, and reef sharks in gin-clear water. A traditional Ni-Vanuatu lunch of lap-lap (the national dish, baked in earth oven) and fresh seafood is served under a thatched shelter. A village elder then shares the island's history and customs in a personal, unhurried exchange. Return by boat in the late afternoon.
