Our kayak tours leave from the Port Vila Seafront, Monday to Friday. After a safety briefing on the waterfront, you push off in a tandem sit-inside sea kayak. The first stretch follows the Seafront of town: the Grand Hotel, the restaurants and cafes, then the big houses on Millionaires Row.
You paddle past the wreck of the old sunset cruise boat and cross Paray Bay to Lapetasi Wharf. From there you go under the wharf, around the ship terminals, and onto a golden sand beach. It's the best beach in the harbour, and fresh coconut is waiting.
After a short rest you head out through the shallow channel at Ifira Point, where kids from Ifira swim. The paddle around Ifira Island takes you past cliffs, reef and rocky outcrops like the Apostles. Then you cross the harbour entrance to Malapoa and follow the coast and reef back to the Seafront. Your guide may change the route to suit the weather and the group.
$120 AUD per person for 2 to 3 hours, with the kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, spray skirt, guide and fresh coconut all included. This tour is for ages 13 and over.

Before You Book
No. You start with a safety briefing on the Seafront, and your guide sets an easy pace for the group. The first part of the paddle is calm and sheltered, so you have time to get comfortable.
Allow 2 to 3 hours, depending on how fast the group paddles. You follow the Seafront, paddle under Lapetasi Wharf, go around Ifira Island and come back along the reef. There is a rest and fresh coconut on a golden sand beach. Your guide may change the route to suit the weather and the group.
You paddle a tandem sit-inside sea kayak. We provide the paddle, a buoyancy aid and a spray skirt. Everyone wears a buoyancy aid for the whole trip.
No. We don't hire out kayaks. Every paddle is a guided trip.
Sunscreen, a hat, water, reef shoes or sandals, and clothes you don't mind getting wet. We provide the kayak and safety gear.
