Tendered: 07:00 - 17:00
Uninhabited and untouched by modern society, Mystery Island will make you believe it wouldn't be so bad to be a marooned sailor in an old storybook.
You'll find no electricity, roads or telephones here. A comfortable 30-minute walk will take you on a self-guided tour of the entire island. Only accessible by cruise ship and the nearby inhabitants of Aneityum, you'll truly get to experience life on a deserted island.
Cruise to Mystery Island and explore its white sandy shoreline and warm waters. Go for a snorkel and see an incredible underwater world untouched by human influence.
Because Mystery Island is so secluded, the coral is exceptionally healthy and the fish plentiful. Whether you are swimming or snorkelling, you'll pass clown fish, parrot fish, barracudas and majestic sea turtles. You might even be lucky enough to glimpse a seahorse.
If you are interested in local culture, you can take a quick trip to the nearby Aneityum Island (not included).
The inhabitants of nearby Aneityum Island come to Mystery Island to prepare food and entertainment for visitors. They serve traditional Vanuatuan food, which is simple and delicious. Tuck in to freshly caught grilled lobster for lunch, and treat yourself to island banana pie for dessert.
Along the beach, you can find small market stalls set up by locals. They sell postcards, sarongs and traditional trinkets. For a more cultural experience, have your hair braided by one of the local women or enjoy a traditional Vanuatu massage on the beach.
Please note: There are no hire shops on this island, so bring your own snorkelling gear. It's worth it.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner
Tendered: 07:00 - 17:00
In Port Vila, Vanuatu's energetic capital, you'll be greeted by friendly Bislama-speaking locals and street-side markets.
Walk around the centre of town – you'll see a touch of French influence still remains in the form of bistros and murals. Explore the hidden waterfalls of the Mele Cascades, tucked away in the Mele village rainforest with plenty of gently sloping hiking trails. Check out Mama's Market, the cultural hub of Vanuatu, where you can sample local bananas or shop for traditional island handicrafts. Or take the 10-minute boat ride out to Pele Island: Here, you'll find picturesque beaches shaded by palm trees overlooking turquoise waters that are prime for snorkelling.
The history of Port Vila alone is impressive and can be discovered at the Vanuatu Cultural Centre (not included). It houses one of the most extensive collections of South Pacific artefacts on the planet. Outrigger canoes, photos, videos and traditional sand drawing exhibitions await.
A quick drive and a water taxi trip (not included) will bring you to the tiny Hideaway Island. Jump right in and snorkel in crystal clear waters teeming with rainbows of fish.
