Mele Cascades Waterfalls

Once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a 30m waterfall and rock swimming pool that you can wash off. We recommend wearing closed-in shoes. Ones you do not mind getting wet as you will be walking through water and mud depending on the conditions.

Lelepa Island Day Tour
The excursion begins promptly at 8:00 am and runs until 8:45 am, accommodating pickups from all resorts in Port Vila depending on guests’ accommodations. Guests are chauffeured approximately 25 minutes to the picturesque Havana Harbour, where they embark on a brief 15-20 minute boat journey to Lelepa Island.
Upon arrival, guests are led on a short bush walk through the rainforest, where they discover native bush herbs traditionally used for local medicines. The tour continues with visits to historical caves and a World War II crash site, complete with a machine gun placement.
Following the exploration, guests are invited to snorkel and kayak off the island’s beach, surrounded by thousands of vibrant reef fish. A barbecue lunch featuring local beef, chicken, fish, crispy bread, and salad is provided.
After lunch, guests can unwind in hammocks with a book, swinging away amidst the wilderness, or simply relax on the pristine white sandy beaches.
The final stop is at a local village, where guests are treated to a cup of local coffee and immersed in the community for a couple of hours. Local artisans showcase their handicrafts and carvings, available for purchase, providing an opportunity for guests to support the village’s economy.
As a heartfelt farewell, local children serenade guests with songs, expressing gratitude for their visit and support.
