The programme

Ready to find out what happens beneath the surface? This is experience is an explosive mix of nature, wonder and snorkeling masks!

You'll arrive at the village of Mangaliliu, where smiles are sincere and the sea is part of the family. Before diving in, discover how the local community has created a marine conservation area, which is a little gem of natural balance. A concrete lesson in ecology, delivered with simplicity and pride: forget documentaries!

Then it's time to get into the water! The coral garden awaits you, with its bright colors, tropical fish and — if mother nature is on your side — perhaps even a curious turtle. You'll explore the sea bed of “Dory’s World” and “Nemo City”, and you may find yourself face to face with one of the giant clams that look like something out of a fantasy film.

After a swim, you've earned a break: fresh tropical fruit in a canteen with sea views. Juicy, colorful and perfect for recharging your batteries before the next stop.

The tour ends in style: a buffet lunch in a stylish boutique resort in the heart of Port Vila. And while you're here…why not take a look at the duty-free shops, or visit Mama’s Market for a few artisan souvenirs?

A marine adventure for big and small alike, from reality to cartoon animals. Flippers at the ready!
