The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Descend into one of the world's greatest accessible wreck dives — a 200-metre WWII troopship lying just off shore. Artifacts, staterooms, and the legendary 'The Lady' figurehead await in crystal-clear Pacific waters.
Stretch out on Champagne Beach — consistently ranked among the world's most beautiful beaches — with powdery white sand, translucent turquoise water, and almost no one else in sight when you arrive early by private transfer.
Plunge into impossibly blue, gin-clear freshwater pools deep in the Santo jungle — the Nanda and Matevulu Blue Holes are among the most surreal natural swimming holes on earth, fed by ancient underground aquifers.
Trek through dense rainforest, descend into a dramatic river canyon, and wade through Vanuatu's largest cave system — a full-day adventure that is genuinely unlike anywhere else on earth.
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.
Paddle a traditional dugout canoe along the Riri River through dense jungle to a hidden blue hole — a deeply local, deeply peaceful experience that puts you in the heart of Santo's living kastom culture.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
