morning pickup from your Port Vila accommodation, with your uniformed Island Breeze driver arriving early and ready to go.

This fascinating operation works with 50 local farmers across the islands and still does most of its bottling and labelling by hand. You'll watch the distillation process in action, explore ageing barrels where samples are drawn using traditional drilling methods, and get a real sense of the craft behind each bottle. The tour wraps up with tastings of their signature rums.<br><br></div><div>Next up is the <strong>Aelan Chocolate Factory</strong>, a bean-to-bar operation using cocoa grown in Vanuatu's volcanic soil. The 30-minute tour follows boardwalks through tropical gardens, moving through a series of converted shipping containers that walk you through every stage of production, from raw beans to finished bars. You'll also discover the differences between cacao varieties grown across Vanuatu's islands. It ends with a generous tasting session featuring award-winning chocolates made with local ingredients including coconut, chilli pepper, nangai, ginger, turmeric, kava, coffee and sea salt.<br><br></div><div>The afternoon takes you to <strong>Rarru Waterfall</strong>, a short 5 to 10 minute jungle walk from the entrance. Along the way you'll pass multiple swimming holes and small cascades before reaching the main waterfall, which stands around 3 metres high. A safety attendant is on-site throughout the day, and there's a rope swing and jumping spots for those who want a bit more adventure. Deck areas, designated bag-hanging spots and excellent picnic areas make it a relaxed place to wind down before your return transfer.<br><br></div><div>Your driver will have you back in Port Vila by around 2:30pm.</div>", "departure_and_return": "<div>Pick-up at your accommodation within Port Vila is included in the price.
