Vanuatu Sailing and Snorkel Day
Vanuatu sailing with snorkelling: Sailing Vanuatu's yacht day in Havannah Harbour against the Lelepa Island and Moso Island days. Prices in US$, who can book alone, what each includes.
For Vanuatu sailing with snorkelling in one day, Sailing Vanuatu’s Vanuatu - Day Tour: Sail, Snorkel, Lunch, Island Adventure is the one: 5 hours from 9:45 AM on a 60-foot sailing yacht in Havannah Harbour, two snorkel stops, kayaks and paddleboards, an island visit and a buffet lunch cooked on board, from US$161 per adult (checked November 2026).

The sailing day
Sailing Vanuatu’s yacht is called Major Tom. The day includes transfers within the Port Vila area (43 pickup locations are listed on its booking page), the crew, snorkel gear, kayaks and paddleboards, and a sailing instructor if you want to help raise the sails. Weather can remove a stop, and a refund is offered if weather cancels or removes the day’s core activities or places. It is not for children under 5.
Of its 90 reviews, 80 give five stars. One on 18 August 2025 found little coral or fish at the snorkel spot; others praise the crew and the snorkelling. Check your date on the calendar.
For cruise passengers the day depends on tender times: check yours with the operator before you book.
The island days
The Lelepa day crosses Havannah Harbour after a drive of about 35 to 40 minutes and a boat ride of 15 to 20 minutes, and you snorkel off the boat and the beach. It runs every day except Saturday.
The Moso day goes by road and boat to Moso Island. The Blue Cave depends on weather and tide: two reviewers could not go in, one at low tide (23 May 2026) and one in crashing waves (10 April 2026), and a full refund applies when the cave cannot be visited.
Both island days, like the sailing day, can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before. For the half-day snorkel mornings, see snorkelling with turtles in Vanuatu.
