Discover the natural beauty of Port Vila with a visit to the Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River. Swim in the lagoon, jump off the rope swing, and relax in the sun. Then, head to Eden on the River for a guided eco-tour.

Start your day with a visit to the Blue Lagoon. Just half an hour out of Port Vila, the Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular spots for visitors to head. Beyond being incredibly Instagrammable, the Blue Lagoon will be hours of fun for the young and young at heart.

The Blue Lagoon is in a stunning setting. Fringed by trees and bushes, it's secluded from the bustle of Port Vila and Efate's main road, and makes for a great backdrop for your inevitable Instagram shot. There are nice grassy areas for picnics, as well as toilets and change rooms (so you can get into your bathers before launching off the rope swing!) Note that there aren't lockers, though it is a safe environment.

Beyond a sense of fun and adventure, bring your swimming gear (towels and bathers), and sunscreen. You may also like to bring any flotation devices or snorkels/goggles to add to your Blue Lagoon experience.

You could easily spend hours at the Blue Lagoon, whether you're after doing a little or a lot. Jump into the lapis-hued waters off the wooden platforms, swing in off the rope swings, or jump in off the trees. You'll certainly see the local kids showing off their rope swing skills, and they love a bit of friendly competition for who can do the best jump. Around the Blue Lagoon, you'll find benches and grass where you can sit back and watch everything unfold.

Next, head to Eden on the River. Just 20 minutes from Port Vila, you will find the “Eden Experience”. A must-see destination for all ages. The tropical eco-tours blend education with a touch of adventure. All lead by experienced tour guides who’ll ensure that you have a safe and truly wonderful day.
