Beautiful Mystery Island, located at the southern end of the Vanuatu archipelago, offers crystal-clear waters and sugary beaches shaded by swaying palms. Grab a mask and fins and explore the pristine coral reef off Mystery Island on a snorkeling adventure through this dramatic underwater ecosystem.
A short boat ride brings you to the waters off Mystery Island -- a Marine Protected Area -- offering a wonderful opportunity to see the ecosystem of an undisturbed coral reef. Your guide will distribute snorkel gear and offer safety instructions. Phenomenal underwater vistas will come into view, and you'll stop at an optimal spot for 45 minutes of snorkeling. Explore with a professional snorkel guide, who will be in the water with you at all times and will point out the dazzling coral formations and various marine life. Tropical fish and other sea creatures come out to say hello, and if you're lucky, friendly sea turtles will make a guest appearance. An added treat is an opportunity to hand-feed the schools of tropical fish -- an incredible experience among storybook scenery.
On your return, float back to the beach and take in the landscapes as your crew highlights points of interest and the unusual flora on the horizon. You'll also learn the history of the island, officially called Inyeug, which was used during World War II as an Allied forces landing strip. Refreshed and invigorated from your time in the water, return to the white-sand beach to relax and enjoy the rest of your day in paradise.
Notes:
Minimum age is 8 years. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk.
