About This Experience
Step aboard a traditional outrigger sailing canoe and explore the stunning coastline of the Maskelyne Islands the old-fashioned way. Over 90 minutes, you'll sail around the bay at Malog Bungalows, taking in mangrove forests and small island scenery while getting hands-on with the experience — paddling, steering, and helping shift the sails as your skipper guides the way. With just two guests per canoe, this is an intimate and genuinely memorable slice of traditional Vanuatu seafaring.
Highlights
- Sail a traditional outrigger canoe around the Maskelyne Islands
- Take the paddle, steer, and work the sails hands-on
- Guided by a local skipper using traditional sailing methods
- Mangroves, coastline, and small island scenery throughout
- Refreshments back at the bungalow after your sail
