Our kayak tours leave from the Port Vila Seafront, Monday to Friday. After a safety briefing on the waterfront, you push off from the beach in a tandem sit-inside sea kayak. You follow the coast along the reef beside Malapoa, out to the harbour markers.
Then you cross the harbour entrance, where the water is close to 100 metres deep, and reach Ifira Island. You skirt the island past rocky outcrops like the Apostles and paddle over the reef to Kate's Corner. You pass dive sites along the way, including the Konanda shipwreck.
The coast then takes you past Dream Cove and some of Port Vila's biggest houses, on to Wotarua. Visitors know it as Paradise Cove. Packed lunch is on the beach. After lunch you snorkel the same reef we take our Paradise Cove snorkellers to, with a mask and snorkel only. We don't use fins on this snorkel.
You paddle back the same way as far as Ifira Island, then through the shallow channel between the island and the mainland. If the group still has energy, you can look around the shipping wharves. If not, you cut straight across the harbour, past the wreck of the old sunset cruise boat, then Millionaires Row, the cafes and the Grand Hotel, and back to the Seafront beach.
$200 AUD per person for the full day, with the kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, spray skirt, guide, packed lunch and snorkel all included. This tour is for ages 13 and over.
