Your stay on Malekula includes bushwalking, snorkeling, canoeing and an immersion in the local culture.
You’re accompanied by the founder of My Kinda Holiday, Stuart Auld, who grew up on Malekula himself. All your local guides speak English and are locally certified Tour Guides.
Most people will never see a country the way the locals do. Your adventure will see you participating in village life, helping to gather food and supplies, and helping to bring much needed income into the local communities.
From hiking through the jungle to a rarely seen waterfall, snorkelling on a pristine reef, or enjoying a local meal in one of the villages, you’ll be amazed at the diversity of scenery and the friendliness of the people.
Vanuatu would have to be one of the safest countries in the world; it’s certainly one of the happiest. It’s been ranked as the happiest place on earth several times now but for me, it’s MY happy place….
Make it yours as well….
Itinerary
Transfers from airport to hotel.
Settle in. Dinner and drinks at 7pm in the hotel restaurant. Your guide will give a brief rundown of what to expect in the outer islands, covering cultural sensitivities, safety and expectations. 
Breakfast at your hotel. Today we'll circumnavigate the island of Efate in a counterclockwise direction, leaving the hotel at 9 am. There will be plenty of swimming today, so make sure you bring a towel, a hat and sunscreen.
After a cold drink and a snack, our trip continues around the island until we reach Havannah Harbour. It's said that a large portion of the American fleet was hidden here during WW2. It's also where Survivor Vanuatu was filmed. We'll be stoppng at Gideon's Landing Restaurant for a delicious lunch and an ice cold Tusker beer (or alternative).

Today we'll travel to a local cocoa plantation and taste some of the fruit.
We'll also see how coconuts are harvested and the flesh removed and smoked over a fire to make copra. Copra is a large export crop and is used to make coconut oil and stock feed.
In the afternoon, we'll have some time for snorkeling in front of the village and also to learn how a traditional laplap meal is prepared. Tonight, we'll be feasting and enjoying a Cultural Night. 
Today we head further up the coast to a beautiful island, just off the coast called Uripiv. One of Stuart's favourite places on the planet.
We'll be making a short stop at the local market in Lakatoro before jumping aboard our water taxi.
The afternoon will see us fishing with one of the locals from a boat in the deep water surrounding the island. Late in the day, we'll also learn about the sacred stones next to where we're staying and their relevance to our host family. 
It's Sunday today and as the island is predominantly Christian, we have a free choice morning.
You would be most welcome to attend the local Church service but you're also free to sit next to the beach and read a book or just chill out.
Departing Port Vila this morning for Tanna Island. Once we arrive at the Whitegrass Resort, we'll get organised in our rooms and have a look around the resort.
We'll be leaving just after lunch to go to the volcano. Make sure you order tonight's dinner before we leave so it will be ready for you when we get back. The volcano will be viewed at dusk and it's a long way back.
It can be cool on the mountain so it's best to take a light jumper and a poncho in case it rains. 
Today, we'll go for a trip along the coast to a great little spot called the Blue Hole. Here you can swim underwater into a cave illuminated by the sun from above. It's breathtaking. In the afternoon, you can go for a scuba dive or a snorkel. 
Today will be our last full day in Vanuatu. After breakfast, we'll be on a plane back to Vila.
This afternoon will be a good time to have a look around the main part of Port Vila and pick up some souvenirs and/or some duty free goods. Know how much things cost at home. Alcohol is usually cheaper in Port Vila but prices vary widely.
The best place to shop for souvenirs is the local Vanuatu Handicraft Markets. We'll point them out as we pass them. Try and find goods made by the locals rather than the imported knockoffs.
