“This small island hideaway near Port Vila excels as a casual destination for snorkeling, offering direct beach access and clear waters for exploration. While some facilities show their age, the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere more than compensate, creating a welcoming environment for families and couples alike. It's a place where the underwater post office and easy access to water sports add to the appeal of a simple, restful vacation.”
