PORTS OF CALL - Australia / New Zealand
Mystery Island, Vanuatu
Located on the southern most point of the Vanuatu archipelago, this little jewel of the South Pacific is completely uninhabited. Formerly used as an allied forces landing strip during WWII, today only palm trees and sweet seclusion grow from the white sand of Mystery Island. The locals live across the waters on Tanna and visit the island during the day to spread their warmth, culture and wares. It's the perfect spot for couples, beach lovers or anyone looking to lounge in an ocean of beauty and literally get away from it all.
Don't Miss
Make sure you take a moment to stop and enjoy the peace and serenity of this tranquil island by spending a day on one of the most beautiful South Pacific beaches. The waters are calm and ideal for swimming. You can also take a quick sail around the island - it takes a short twenty minutes to travel its circumference. Whatever you choose, leisure's the agenda on of the world's few deserted islands.
