Why cruise guests book with us

Built for a port day — not a full-day bus tour

Ship excursions often run long and cost more. We keep it short, local, and timed around your all-aboard.

Guarantee

Back-to-ship guarantee

Share your ship name and all-aboard time. We only confirm a departure that returns you with a clear buffer before you need to be aboard.

Peace of mind

100% refund if ship skips port

If your cruise does not arrive in Port Vila, your booking is fully refunded. No arguing with a shore-ex desk.

Every tour under 2 hours

From a 90-minute Iririki snorkel to a short jet ride when it is running — plenty of time left to shop, walk town, or simply get back early.

Fully insured local operator

You are booking a licensed Port Vila operator with full insurance cover — the same peace of mind people look for when booking through the ship.

After you book, complete our Wherewolf digital waiver on your phone. Prefill before you arrive and check-in becomes a quick meet and greet — then straight onto the boat.

Easy from the tender dock

3-minute walk from the seafront tender berth

Meet us next to Nambawan Cafe on the Port Vila Seafront. You are already in town — shops and cafes all around — so there is no taxi or bus ride. Just an easy flat walk from the tender berth to our office.

How your cruise day works

Simple steps from ship to Seafront

  1. Book, then complete your Wherewolf waiver

    Reserve online or message us on WhatsApp. After booking you will get our Wherewolf digital waiver — fill it in before you arrive so check-in is just a quick meet and greet, then straight onto the boat.

  2. Meet us at the Seafront

    Next to Nambawan Cafe — about a 3-minute walk from the seafront tender berth. You are in town already, so no taxi or bus is needed.

  3. Tour, then back with buffer

    We aim for you to be back at the tender area at least 45 minutes before all-aboard. That is the buffer we plan around.

Cruise guest questions

Will I make it back to the ship? Tap for answer

Yes — that is the point of this page. Every tour here is under 2 hours. Tell us your all-aboard time and we only confirm a departure that returns you with buffer. That is our back-to-ship guarantee.

What if the ship cancels the Port Vila call?

If your ship does not arrive in Port Vila, you get a 100% refund on your booking with us.

Are you insured?

Yes. Watersports Port Vila is a fully insured local operator. You are not booking an informal pier tout — you are booking a established Seafront business with live online payments.

Can I check in faster on the day?

Yes. After you book, complete our Wherewolf digital waiver on your phone before you arrive. When it is already filled in, check-in is a simple meet and greet — then you are on the boat.

Is this cheaper than booking on the ship?

Usually yes. Ship shore excursions add markup and often run longer. Booking direct means local AUD pricing, shorter trips, and WhatsApp support if your schedule changes.

I have a big family group — can we all fit?

Yes. Tell us your ship name, all-aboard time, and how many people. Contact us on WhatsApp and we will place you on an Iririki departure that fits your port call.

Need help with your port call?

Message us on WhatsApp with your ship name and all-aboard time — we will confirm an Iririki snorkel that gets you back safely.
