When does my tour start?
For cruisers, 45 minutes after your cruise ship actually berths at the wharf in Port Vila to allow you to clear border control and disembark.
Will I be returned in time to board the ship before it departs?
YES, the future of our business is very dependent on our being able to return you to the ship in good time before the ship departs otherwise no one will book with us! Depending on your tour, we generally will return you one (1) hour before the ship’s scheduled departure time. Please note that we have never been late with any cruisers to date!
