"what_to_expect": "<div>This half-day tour takes you through the heart of Port Vila, covering the city's most rewarding cultural and shopping stops in a relaxed, well-paced morning.</div><div>Your driver will collect you from your accommodation at 8:30am in one of our modern, air-conditioned vans, and from there the day unfolds across three distinct experiences.<br><br></div><div>The first stop is the <strong>Vanuatu Cultural Centre</strong>, housed in a striking traditional building just across from parliament. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully curated collection of traditional artefacts including tamtam slit drums, outrigger canoes, ceremonial headdresses, shell jewellery, and examples of Lapita and Wusi pottery. Look out for the powerful blackbirding display, which documents the period when Ni-Vanuatu people were kidnapped by those from Queensland, as well as the sacred ceremonial headdresses from Malekula, traditionally worn during the election and promotion of leaders. Guided tours with knowledgeable staff are available and well worth taking up if you'd like a deeper understanding of what you're seeing.<br><br></div><div>Next, we head to the waterfront <strong>Handicraft Market</strong>, where every item on display is locally owned and made. It's a great spot to pick up wood carvings, shell necklaces, and handcrafted souvenirs, knowing your purchase goes directly to the people who made them.<br><br></div><div>The final stop is <strong>Fung Kuei Duty Free</strong>, which carries one of the widest ranges of duty-free goods in Vanuatu. From an impressive whiskey selection to designer perfumes, watches, jewellery, and brands like Nike and Lego, there's plenty to browse. There's also a selection of local Vanuatu coffee and vanilla products if you're after something more homegrown. Savings of at least 50% off local retail prices make this a worthwhile stop, and staff are on hand to guide you through customs allowances and purchasing. Departing flight passengers can have purchases delivered to the airport collection counter, while cruise passengers can arrange delivery to their ship at least three hours before departure.<br><br></div><div>The tour wraps up by 12:00pm with a drop-off back at your accommodation.</div>",
