2. Full-day boat tour to Pele Island with barbecue lunch

A day trip from Port Vila with a boat ride to Pele Island, including snorkelling, swimming, and a barbecue lunch on the beach.

3. Efate round island day trip from Port Vila with lunch

A full-day tour around Efate Island, featuring hikes through jungles, secluded beach visits, and lunch at Top Rock, catering to families and short-stay visitors.

“My partner and I participated in the full island tour (package 3) with Nonda, and we can't recommend it highly enough. We had the luxury of having the fantastic Daniel as our driver and guide for the day since we were the only participants. Each stop was incredible, and the delicious lunch at Top Rock, accompanied by breathtaking views, was perfect. I would strongly encourage anyone to choose Nondas and would have loved to experience more of their tours if we had more time.”— walshieos

Customizable hire of a 6-passenger SUV—ideal for families or groups looking for comfort and flexibility in Port Vila.

“Kris, our driver, was excellent. He was attentive to our group’s needs, making for a truly fantastic day.”— Leslie_F

5. Skybridge experience in Port Vila with transfers

Three-hour tour — a 120-metre Skybridge with rainforest access, plus options for ziplining or giant swinging, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

“We had an incredible experience. Our travels were seamless, and we enjoyed everything. We were conveniently dropped off at our hotel from Iririki Resort.”— JOSEPH_O

6. Half-day tour to Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River

Three to four hours visiting the Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River with time for duty-free shopping, includes complimentary water.

“We enjoyed the Eden River and Blue Lagoon tour with Willy and Martina. Willy expertly navigated the pothole-filled roads, while Martina was attentive, ensuring everyone was having fun. She provided excellent information and answered all our questions. The Blue Lagoon offered a refreshing break on a hot day, and Eden River was also a great spot—we couldn't choose a favorite. This tour is definitely worth it. However, this was our second booking where we received no contact details for the tours, making it difficult to know who to look for. Communication needs improvement for such a large company.”— 232meredithp
