Itinerary choices - join in or do your own thing .

Le Meridien.
Most of you have opted to stay at Le Meridien. This means that your breakfast and lunch are included daily so I have developed an itinerary based around this fact.

Le Meridien runs an activity programme for inhouse guests that you can join in on at any time. This includes activities such as learning to sail a catamaran, play tennis, join a swimming race, take out the kayaks, play golf, play footy or soccer etc. There is a daily activities board near the beach and a newsletter called "Tok Tok" that outlines the programme.

Apart from this you can choose to do any of the above activities at any time by booking at the activity hut near the big swimming pool. Equipment such as golf clubs, lifejackets, paddles and so forth are available for free to guests as is the use of the golf course, kayaks, catamarans, tennis courts, beach volley ball, swings and swimming pools.

Other tours can be arranged at the tour desk or at Adventures in Paradise in the main street of town. Day trips we have thoroughly enjoyed include the Round Island Tour and the Lelepa Island Tour. Other popular things to do include visiting the underwater post office at Hideaway Island; taking a discover SCUBA course with the dive shop next to the Numbawan Cafe (practice at Breaka's Resort pool and then to Pango Point for a dive); the 2-3 day adventure to Tanna Island to visit mighty Yasur volcano or a relaxing trip around town to the Cultural Centre and Diana Tam's art gallery.

Please let us know on the day when you'd like us to add you to dinner bookings and so forth. We'll see most of you around and about from breakfast on, so the itinerary is to let you know roughly what we plan to do and to welcome you to join us. The outline is based on a good selection for new visitors to Vanuatu. Of course you probably have your own list of things to see and do. Le Meridien's tour desk or Adventures in Paradise in town can handle most tour bookings.
