Are you wondering how to keep the kids occupied during the upcoming school holidays? Why not drag the suitcases out of the cupboard, dust off the snorkeling gear and embark on your next Vanuatu adventure! With some of the friendliest locals, with even friendlier smiles, Vanuatu is the perfect place to escape to have some family fun. The abundance of sand, sea and sunshine in this tropical oasis are sure to keep the kids entertained long enough for you to enjoy a cocktail or two.

So what is there to do?

When you’re travelling with kids, it’s all about FUN as a family. Vanuatu sure knows how to have fun, so to make the most of your time in our island paradise, be sure to:

• Swing through the trees… like Tarzan!
  The Vanuatu Jungle Zipline is just the perfect experience to have if you are after adventure with your family. Swing through the trees for some good old, white-knuckle fun that is safe for the kids. With special prices for families, this is a must do for those adrenalin junkies.

• Snorkeling fun
  Meet nemo and explore Vanuatu’s underwater oasis. There’s no doubt that kids love to swim, so grab a snorkel, your togs and start exploring the underwater world Vanuatu calls home – you won’t be sorry. You can even send a postcard home from Hideaway Island, home to the world’s first underwater post office. If you don’t fancy getting your hair wet, take in the vibrant reefs from above on a glass bottomed boat.

• Join a Cultural Village Tour
  Learn about the traditional Vanuatu way of life, or as the locals call it, “Kastom”. A cultural village tour, such as the Ekasup Village Tour, will immerse you in the local Ni-Vanuatu culture for a day and is a great fun, educational experience for the kids. Located just outside of Port Vila, this tour is accessible for all.

• Eden on the River – Eco Tour
  Bringing sustainability and natural wonder together, this guided eco tour allows the family to get a taste of the island nations’ stunning riverscape, via a series of suspended bridges. Children under 2 go free so be sure to not give this one a miss.
