Spend a languid day on a private island sanctuary where pristine coral gardens, technicolour reef fish, and sea turtles glide just metres from shore — then feast on a fresh seafood lunch prepared by your island hosts.
What to expect
A short boat crossing from Luganville brings you to a tiny, lush island ringed by healthy reef. Your host family provides snorkel gear and guides you to the best coral heads, pointing out resident turtles and the more elusive creatures hidden in the staghorn. After two hours in the water, a tablecloth spread of grilled fish, coconut crab, root vegetables, and tropical fruit appears seemingly from nowhere. The afternoon is yours to hammock, paddle, or snorkel further.
Good to know
Departs from Luganville main wharf — 15-minute boat transfer. Bring waterproof sunscreen, rash vest, and VUV cash for tips. Morning departures recommended; confirm return time ensures 45 min buffer to all-aboard. Pre-book directly — the island limits daily visitor numbers.
