You will get the chance to see a lot of Efate Island on the far-reaching tour as you depart from the wharf headed for Havannah Harbour on the Northside of the Island. From Havannah Harbour you will board a boat for a trip over to Tranquillity Island. Keep your eyes open on the way and you might spot a friendly spinner dolphin or two along the way.
Upon arrival at the Island those who wish to go snorkelling on beautiful coral reef will be set up on the boat and those who just want to swim or laze on the beach can go ashore on the beach. Snorkelers will see the spectacular corals and fish before going ashore to join the others on Jade Beach, a picturesque tree lined beach for a tasty and healthy tropical BBQ lunch with French bread and lots of vegetables.
Next up after lunch, you can join a 20 minute bush walk amongst the tropical vegetations and maybe see some juvenile coconut crabs along the way. For those who do not want to do the bush walk then they can join up by going on the dinghy for the afternoon snorkel and swim on a shallow reef renown to see beautiful Hawksbill and large green turtles in the wild.
Please note, dolphins, coconut crabs and turtle sightings cannot be guaranteed but they are usually there.
At the end of the day your boat transfer will be ready and waiting to take you back to the mainland and maybe on the way see the dolphins once again to bid you farewell before you take a short bus ride back to the wharf.
Notes:
Please wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, bring a hat, plenty of bio-degradable sunscreen and bottled water. Bring your swimmers, towel and reef shoes. The bush walk is approximately 700 metres. You must have suitable footwear if you wish to participate. Coral is an extremely precious marine organism. In an effort to preserve its natural beauty and habitat please avoid touching it in all circumstances. Please bring along some cash for additional purchases.
