Port Vila, Vanuatu cruise holidays

The waterfront restaurants and beach bars, and the bustle of the downtown area - with its colourful market stalls selling tasty food and local handicrafts - mean you don't need to venture far to immerse yourself in the finer offerings of island life. But explore a little further and you'll find exciting activities and adventures around Efate, the island where Port Vila is found. If you're a thrill seeker, you can take an exhilarating zipline trek through the rainforest. Or to see it at a more relaxing pace, join a guided walk to Mele Cascades, a multi-tiered waterfall with rock pools which are perfect for a refreshing dip. If you want to go a little deeper, the area is paradise for scuba divers, while cultural tours offer an insight into the nation's history and its Melanesian culture with European influences.
