Vanuatu isn’t just an idyllic collection of picture perfect tropical hideaways that promise relaxation, warm waters and golden sunshine, it also boasts an abundance of adventures to suit any intrepid soul. So, leave your shoes at the airport and the crowds behind and let’s make some memories to last a lifetime.

There’s a reason the South Pacific is home to so many travelling clichés. It’s because they’re true. There’s the crystal water, where flashing fish dart along sea beds strewn with coral. There’s the lush tangle of jungle, the roaring volcanos, the fresh fruit bursting with sweet juice. But Efate’s charm goes far beyond white-powder beaches. It’s the slow bloom of islander smiles where you’re welcomed like family. It’s the culture, exotic in its ritual, that seeps through the veins of everyday life. It’s the velvet nights with a blazing blanket of stars, untouched by light pollution. And Port Vila and Havannah Harbour resorts make the perfect base to explore it all on any of these unforgettable day trips.
