Discover your inner child in Vanuatu

Only a short three hour flight from the east coast of Australia, Port Vila is an ideal last minute destination for families wanting to travel overseas these September school holidays.


Vanuatu has a range of soft adventure activities and family friendly affordable accommodation all without the hassle of long-haul flights.

With a tropical climate, September is a great time to travel to Vanuatu as the temperature ranges from 22 to 28 degrees enabling parents to relax while children enjoy a range of family friendly activities including:

Mele Cascades Waterfall 

Only a short drive from Port Vila, the Mele Cascades Waterfall offers a refreshing natural pool perfect for a family swim, be sure to walk to the top of the waterfall for a stunning view of Mele Bay. www.melebay.com.vu

For the more adventurous (and for those travelling with kids over 12), Edge Adventure offers you the chance to abseil down the waterfall, providing stunning views as you descent 50m down the front of the waterfall over Mele Bay.  www.edgevanuatu.com
