"what_to_expect": "<div>Your day begins with an 8 am pick-up, either from the seafront pontoon if you're arriving by cruise ship, or directly from your Port Vila accommodation.

Spend the morning however you like, snorkel the reef, stretch out on the sandy beach, or grab a cold beer and simply soak it all in.<br><br></div><div>One of the highlights of the day is the boat trip out to the end of the reef. You'll hop into the water for a fish feeding session and a dive down to the drop-off, where the underwater world really opens up. Expect plenty of fish, and with a bit of luck, you might spot turtles or some of the bigger species that pass through.<br><br></div><div>Back on land, you'll head into the local village for a guided walk through the community. It's a relaxed and genuine experience, you'll see how locals live, meet friendly kids, and browse handcrafts and clothing sold by local mothers.<br><br></div><div>Lunch is a generous buffet spread featuring local food, fresh salads, BBQ, and chicken. After eating, afternoon tea is served with coffee, tea, fruit, and biscuits before you have a final stretch of free time on the beach to unwind however you choose.<br><br></div><div>The boat then heads back to the wharf, and you're dropped off at the same location you were picked up from.</div>",
