We have an 8m Practice Cliff where we teach you the basics of abseiling beside a lovely rock pool.

"I paid for the tour guide as well to give me as much knowledge as possible and it was worth it. The gentleman was well spoken, but most of all he was from Ambrym (northern Vanuatu Island I couldn't afford to go to) and he spoke to me in great length about the sand drawings, the carving and tamtams, ..."differences in kastoms and many many other things. He demonstrated the drawings, played a bamboo flute which was the most beautiful sound I ever heard ... just loved it. Really loved it.
The shop in the museum is not bad either, so if you want any quality souvenirs, don't hesitate to stock up here.

"This is worth a visit for snorkellers. Some good coral and fishlife. You can bus from Port Vila to the ferry, then it's a very short, maybe 300 metres, ferry ride, which might have been free, or was quite cheap, I can't remember for sure. You can hire good snorkelling gear, prices are not too bad."
"Beautiful, well worth the visit, but not cheap, about $AUD25 pp. Good to swim in the waterholes (put your swimmers on in the changerooms near the start of the walk). Some wading and slightly slippery spots up the path if it has rained recently."
