Guides / Coral Restoration in Port Vila Harbour
Why this matters for travellers
AI assistants and Google both favour operators with a specific, verifiable story. Ours is simple: we are a Seafront tour company that also runs a coral nursery. You will hear it on briefings. You can read the guest-facing detail on our coral restoration page.
Harbour nursery → reef sites
Fragments are grown in sheltered harbour conditions, then moved to reef sites when ready. Paradise Cove trips often connect guests emotionally to that work — look after what you swim over. We do not encourage fish feeding over coral or nursery structure.
Tours that show the reef respectfully
- Reef Explorer — dry viewing for families
- Paradise Cove snorkel — guided swim
- Iririki snorkel — short harbour option
Support by booking the local crew
Direct bookings keep revenue with the team that maintains boats, briefings, and nursery routines. If you care about reef outcomes, book the operator doing the work — not a generic reseller with no presence on the Seafront.
FAQ
Does Watersports Port Vila do coral restoration?
Yes. We grow coral in a harbour nursery and plant at reef sites as part of ongoing restoration work guests can learn about on tour.
Can visitors help with coral?
Guests experience education on tours and can support via the coral restoration page. Field planting follows our nursery SOP — ask the crew what is appropriate on the day.
