Day 8 – Blue Lagoon 🇻🇺💦

We spent the day at the beautiful Blue Lagoon, where the kids had the BEST time jumping off trees, rope swings, bridges… basically anything they could launch themselves from. 😩😂
Meanwhile, the parents (aka their dads lol) spent the dayhaving mini heart attacks watching them — especially the our girls! Legit, ZERO fear! 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Once we finally convinced the kids to get out of the water, we stopped at Banana Bay Beach Club lunch on the way back to Warwick — amazing views and honestly, some of the BEST fish & chips! 🤤👌🏽

The kids would probably rate this one of their favourite days of the whole trip, and I can see why. 💦🌴

Another Vanuatu day well spent. 🇻🇺❤️

Can we talk… for a minute? 😂🎶

GROUP TRAVEL – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ✈️🌴

I get a lot of questions about how group bookings work, and it’s honestly a lot easier than people think. So here’s my son answering a few of the most frequently asked ones. 😊

Flights, accommodation, transfers, car rentals, deposits, payment deadlines — I organise it all.

And yes… quotes are FREE. 😉

Day 7 – Resort Site Visits 🇻🇺🏝️

Back to our Vanuatu adventures after a little detour to the Beautiful Samoa Roadshow. 😂🇼🇸➡️🇻🇺

Another “working holiday” day checking out accommodation options for future ATM clients. 😉

First stop – Tamanu On The Beach 🌴

Tamanu is around 20 minutes from Port Vila and definitely one for those wanting somewhere a little quieter and away from the busier part of town.

They were fully booked during my visit, so unfortunately I couldn’t inspect the villas, but I did get to have a look around the resort and check out their Day Spa. Looks like we might have to visit Vanuatu again so I can come back and see the rooms just incase. What a shame. 😂

Next stop – Island Magic Resort VANUATU

Island Magic had a completely different feel and was another great one to check out in person. I got to have a look through their self-contained accommodation, which would work really well for families wanting a bit more space and the option to do their own thing.

They’ve also got a pool, restaurant and bar, and direct access to the reef for swimming and snorkelling.

And that’s two more Vanuatu accommodation options now locked in for ATM! 🇻🇺

One of the things I love about this business, is the people I get to meet. ❤️

Last night we had the pleasure of meeting the beautiful former Miss Samoa, Feagaimaali’i Soti Mapu. 🇼🇸🥰

And yes, she is just as stunning in person! 😍 But even better, she has such an awesome personality and was so lovely and easy to talk to. It was an absolute pleasure meeting and having a chat with her. ❤️

Gosh. The things I have to go through for my clients… 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Grateful for the places this little travel business continues to take me, the opportunities that come with it, and most of all, the amazing people I get to cross paths with along the way. ❤️🇼🇸✈️

Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, meeting new vendors, and seeing what deals we can secure for our ATM clients tonight.

I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities and experiences to bring back for you and yours. ✈️❤️

Day 6 – Pele Island 🇻🇺🏝️

Perfect weather finally made an appearance — and stayed with us all day! ☀️😂

About an hour’s drive from Warwick, followed by a quick 15-minute boat ride, and we were on Pele Island for a nice, relaxing day.

Some of the group jumped back on the boat and headed out into the middle of the ocean for some snorkelling 🤿, while the rest of us were quite happy staying dry on the island. 😂

We had a BBQ lunch along with some traditional Vanuatu food (similar to a hāngī) while a small local band played, did a cultural walk through the village, and then spent the rest of the afternoon just chilling. Cold beers for the adults, while the kids made full use of the kayaks, water and sunshine.

Our Pele Island tour included:
🏨 Pick-up & drop-off from our resort
🚤 Return boat transfers
🏝️ Island entry fee
🤿 Snorkelling
🍽️ BBQ lunch & traditional Vanuatu food
🌺 Cultural village walk
🛶 Kayaks & plenty of time to enjoy the island

Such an easy, relaxing day, and before we knew it, it was time to head back to the mainland. ❤️

Loved visiting Pele Island, and love that this is another Vanuatu experience we can now offer through ATM. 🇻🇺✈️

Day 5 🇻🇺🌴

Checked out of our villa and checked into Warwick Le Lagon Resort! 🏝️

After having the whole villa to ourselves for the first part of our trip, it was time to switch things up and enjoy a few days of resort life. 😂❤️

New home, new views, same crew… and still plenty more of Port Vila to explore!

Day 4 🇻🇺 | Erakor Island Resort 🌴

Skipping Day 2 & 3 because honestly… all we did was chill, eat and swim. 😂 And I’m not mad about it!

Day 4 was my first site visit of the trip — Erakor Island Resort & Spa ❤️

A quick boat ride across to the island, and I got to have a proper look around the resort and see the different accommodation options available.

They have a great range of rooms catering for couples, families and larger groups, including:

🌴 Couples rooms - 1 king bed
🌴 Family Loft Rooms – 1 king bed downstairs + 3 single beds in the upstairs loft
🌴 Honeymoon Suite with its own plunge pool 😍
🌴 2-Bedroom Villa – all on one level, with 1 king bed, 2 single beds + a bunk bed
🌴 And the AMAZING 2 & 3-Bedroom Beach Houses — definitely a standout for families and groups!

One thing I loved was that every room has its own outdoor deck and beautiful views, so regardless of which room type you choose, you still get that island feel. 🌊🌴

This is exactly why I love doing site visits - I get to actually see the rooms, understand the layouts and work out which options would suit different travellers before recommending them to my clients. ❤️

And yes… Erakor Island Resort is now part of the ATM Family. ☺️

So if an island escape in Vanuatu is calling your name, get in touch and let me put together a quote for you. ✈️🌺
