Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Plunge into Lelepa's protected marine reserve, explore haunting WWII relics, and descend into a sacred ancestral cave — all in one extraordinary full-day immersion into island history and ocean wonder.
Slip into Lelepa's protected marine conservation zone — one of Vanuatu's most pristine — for an unhurried drift over kaleidoscopic coral gardens teeming with sea turtles, rays, and reef fish.
Share a lavish open-fire BBQ on a deserted white-sand beach with the Ni-Vanuatu custodians of Lelepa — fresh-caught fish, tropical fruit, and stories that bring this ancient island culture vividly to life.
A chauffeured half-day loop of Efate's most dazzling natural jewels — the electric-blue lagoon at Avi Bay, a turtle-nesting beach, and a cascading jungle waterfall — all in an air-conditioned vehicle with a local expert.
Descend into Lelepa's storied ancestral cave with a Ni-Vanuatu guide whose family has been its keeper for generations — uncovering burial sites, ceremonial chambers, and oral histories dating back millennia.
Walk the jungle trails of Lelepa with a knowledgeable local guide to discover genuine WWII Pacific theatre relics — rusting artillery, supply dumps, and forgotten infrastructure swallowed by 80 years of tropical growth.
