"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. From there, it's a one hour drive to Emua Wharf where you'll board a boat for the 15-minute crossing to Pele Island.<br><br></div><div>Once you arrive, the island is yours for around six hours. 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>",
