Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day on Lelepa for a guided hike to the historic Fort Lelepa or a dolphin‑watching cruise from Port Vila. If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine Day 5 island‑hopping with the Blue Lagoon tour and skip the afternoon handicraft workshop on Day 3; this still gives you a full taste of Vanuatu’s nature and culture while reducing travel time.
