Docked: 07:00 - 17:00
A melting pot of ethnicity and culture, sunny Noumea will quickly win you over with its upbeat city vibe. The capital city of New Caledonia offers some of the best weather in the South Pacific.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

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 (not included, additional charges apply).
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.

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 (not included): 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.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.
 
Tour Leader
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.
 
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.
