"what_to_expect": "<div>The Port Vila Adventure Tour is a 3 to 4-hour tour run through some of the best experiences the island has to offer, kicking off at 9 am with a proper muddy buggy adventure to get the energy going.<br><br></div><div>Your first stop is Off Road Adventures, a locally owned, Ni-Vanuatu business where you jump into low, open-air buggies and hit the dirt. Two experienced guides lead the way across sealed roads and jungle terrain at Club Hippique, tackling twists and turns, flat dirt tracks, and plenty of mud when the weather plays along. If there are two of you in a buggy, you can swap the wheel halfway through. The tour wraps up at Etmat Bay, where you can cool off with a swim, so make sure you pack your swimwear. Fair warning though: your clothes will get dirty, and that is very much the point.<br><br></div><div>Next up is the Blue Lagoon, a well-developed natural swimming spot fed by a freshwater spring a kilometre back in the bush. The lagoon is a unique mix of fresh and salt water, and the surroundings are set up nicely with picnic tables, changing rooms, and toilets tucked into beautiful gardens.<br><br></div><div>From there, the tour heads to Avi Bay for a look at the turtle pools, where you can see baby turtles up close, iguanas in cages, and sometimes coconut crabs making an appearance.<br><br></div><div>The final stop covers shopping from two very different angles. Fung Kuei is Port Vila's largest duty-free store, stocking luxury brands alongside local favourites like 83 Islands Distillery and local chocolates, with a serious range of liquor. Just along the waterfront, Mama's Market is the opposite: entirely locally made goods, from woven bags and carvings to handmade jewellery, all from Ni-Vanuatu makers.<br><br></div><div>A light lunch is included in the tour, and if you would like something local, we are happy to prepare a traditional dish and walk you through how it is made. Entry fees and light refreshments are also covered throughout the day.</div>",
