activities you can enjoy while staying at vanuatu resorts in and around Port Vila.

No matter what activities you enjoy, you will find many available to you in Vanuatu, in Port Vila town, and around the islands. Just ask your friendly hosts and they will be happy to oblige and point you in the right direction.
You can also go about exploring some or all of the popular nearby attractions, go to Port Vila for sightseeing, shopping or restaurants, or even exploring many of Efate Island’s attractions – just tell your host what would you like and they’ll do all they can to make your stay in Vanuatu memorable. You can even get help to arrange visits to other Vanuatu islands, if you decide to do a bit of “island hoping” whilst here. There are plenty of things to do in Port Vila and Vanuatu on your holiday.
Or to truly experience Vanuatu, visit the nearby Mele Botanical Gardens & Cultural Centre. It’s only a short walk down the road from Worawia, where you can learn about Vanuatu islands’ customs and culture and see the local birdlife and wildlife, its flora and fauna. It’s a very informative guided tour, where you can learn more about the real Vanuatu than anywhere else, and view the local flora and fauna.
