Departing Cruise Ship

Cruise ship visits play a major role in the local Port Vila economy. Their arrival, departure, frequency, impact and behaviour of passengers while ashore are matters of regular cafe and nakamal conversation.

Amateur Theatre

Amateur theatre is alive and well in Port Vila. Here's a scene from a past production "The Importance of being Ernest"

Children playing at the Cascades

"Evergreen Tours" can help you get here and look around but it's very close to Port Vila and the 200 vatu bus ride is fun. This is the pool at the end of the series of waterfalls which make up the cascades. Walking up the cascades through the jungle is a mystical experience. Some local expats do it regularly instead of going to church. 

Getting ready for a day's fishing

You can see the kind of fish to be caught and the seasons for each here
