Featured locations
Pepeyo Cultural Village
Why visit? This is the cultural heart of the package: a chance to slow down, listen to local stories and understand how traditions and knowledge are passed through generations.
Location: Teouma, Port Vila.
Rarru Rentapau Waterfalls
Why it stands out: A chance to leave Port Vila behind and experience Efate's greener, wetter side. Blue Express includes it in Tours #1, #2 and #4.
Blue Lagoon
Why it stands out: A vivid turquoise swimming hole near Eton, popular for its clear water and rope swings. The Tourism Office notes that it is family-friendly and especially lively on weekends.
Cascades Waterfalls
Why it stands out: Natural pools and rainforest make Mele Cascades one of Efate's signature freshwater experiences. It is close enough to Port Vila to fit comfortably into a day tour.
Mele Beach
Why it stands out: A relaxed coastal stop near Port Vila, giving Tour #2 a slower finish after the waterfalls and coffee experience.
Make the rest of the day count
Day tours finish mid-afternoon, which leaves time for a good dinner in town.

“Highly recommend Roger Roy from Blue Express Tours. Gave myself and family a truly memorable experience. Made us feel safe and shared his knowledge of beautiful Vanuatu. The blue cave and seeing turtles … was truly incredible. … The fruit platters were a delight for our eyes and stomachs.”
