Semi Submersible & Reef Explorer

OVERVIEW

Visit attractions that showcase the remarkable diversity on Éfaté, one of the main islands within the Vanuatu archipelago. While touring the Aelan Chocolate Factory, you will learn how the company helps local growers rehabilitate their plantations and improve the way they grow and harvest cocoa used for chocolate. The resulting artisan sweets are delicious and range from pure dark chocolate to blends made with ingredients such as crystallized turmeric and nangai nuts. For an enlightening immersion into traditional life, you will drop by the Pepeyo Cultural Village and see firsthand the local fishing methods, how hunters set traps and a fire-walking demonstration that is absolutely mesmerizing. The island is perhaps best known for its natural beauty, which is on full display at the Blue Lagoon. Feel free to swim in the turquoise waters, which are always tranquil, shimmering and crystal-clear. Or if you prefer, simply relax along the shaded shore of this idyllic tropical setting.
