A relaxed paddle across Port Vila's sheltered turquoise waters

Kayak Vanuatu tours depart daily from Port Vila Seafront. After a quick briefing on the waterfront, we push off into the harbour and settle into an easy rhythm. The first part of the paddle stays calm and sheltered, so beginners have time to get comfortable before we head farther out.

From there, the trip opens up nicely as you paddle across the harbour entrance toward Ifira Island. Depending on conditions, we stop for a beach break where you can stretch your legs, cool off, and enjoy fresh coconut water before making the relaxed paddle back.

It's not a race and it doesn't feel like a template tour. It feels like a proper local paddle with good scenery, clear water, and a guide who knows exactly where to take you.
