Which one suits you
- Travelling alone. The tours here that one adult can book: Vila Hope Tours and Transfers’ Hideaway Island Escape, Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s half day and Paruki Transfer and Tour Adventures’ post office tour.
- The island and nothing else. Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s half day: two hours on the island, no lunch, no gear. One of its four reviewers, on 4 October 2026, wrote that it was only a pick-up and drop-off that any taxi could have done; see Hideaway Island snorkelling.
- The most time on the island. Nonda Extreme Tour’s day gives three hours there with gear included; it has no reviews on Viator.
- The Blue Lagoon in the same day. The Hideaway Island Escape, Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s combo, Lavanua Tours and Transfers’ day on GetYourGuide, Lavanua Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s day on Viator and Nonda Extreme Tour’s day.
- A group of four or more. pete’s Tour & Transfer’s Friday tour ends at a fire show; Sammy`s Port Vila Tours & Transfers’ horse-riding day starts on horseback.
From a cruise ship
On Vila Hope Tours and Transfers’ Hideaway Island Escape, cruise passengers walk 20 metres straight ahead from the wharf to a sign with their name; Peter Ora’s Luxury Shore Tours & Transfers’ waterfalls and post office tour collects at the cruise ship terminal; Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s Hideaway Island combo meets cruise passengers at the port under its orange flag. None of these is your cruise line’s own excursion, which comes with the line’s promise to get you back to the ship. Set the tour’s length against your hours in port before you book.
Staying the night first
If you would rather wake up near the boat, search rooms on the Mele side: rooms on Mele Bay . Hideaway Island resort and where to stay sets the island, Mele and Port Vila side by side.
The Full Day, One Adult Welcome
Vila Hope Tours and Transfers' Hideaway Island Escape: 90 minutes on Hideaway Island, an hour at the Blue Lagoon and an hour with the turtles, with pickup, entry fees, snacks and lunch. Six hours from Port Vila.
