Blue Lagoon Tour Vanuatu

The Blue Lagoon is a swimming hole on the south-east shore of Efate, a 45-minute drive from downtown Port Vila by the Vanuatu Tourism Office’s reckoning, with ropes hung from the trees for jumping in and a cash-only entrance fee at the gate. A Blue Lagoon tour from Port Vila solves the two awkward parts, the drive and the cash. The one this site books first is Manusale Tours’ Vanuatu: Tropical Splash, Beaches & Blue Lagoon Adventure: six hours with Eton Beach, the Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River, Blue Lagoon entry, lunch and snorkelling gear included, from A$150 per adult (checked November 2026), with 47 reviews.

Which Vanuatu Blue Lagoon tour, in short

If you are travelling alone, or want more than one swim, take Manusale Tours’ day: one adult can book it, and it adds Eton Beach and Eden on the River to the Blue Lagoon. If you are two and want only the lagoon and Eden, Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s four-hour half day is the shorter booking, but it does not take one adult on their own. If you want village culture and turtles as well, Sammy`s Port Vila Tours & Transfers runs a seven-hour day from 10:00 AM.

Blue Lagoon tours from Port Vila, side by side

Every tour below stops at the Blue Lagoon and collects you in Port Vila. They differ in length, in what they add, and in whether one adult can book.

Per adult in Australian dollars (GetYourGuide checked November 2026; Viator checked November 2026). The quad bike and buggy tours, on both networks, need at least two adults. The totals for two are the booking calendars’ own figures for two adults on 15 January 2027. The calendar shows the price for your date.

The Blue Lagoon on Efate

The Tourism Office counts one blue hole on Efate, and this is it. It describes people jumping in from ropes set up for the purpose, says the lagoon is very popular with locals at weekends, and suggests a weekday for a quieter swim. Food on site is limited. The Office also calls the site well set up for spending half a day or a whole day with family or friends, which is more time than a tour gives it: the tours that state a time there allow an hour to an hour and a half.

Fresh or salt? Both, by the Tourism Office’s account in its family itinerary for Efate: the pool sits next to the sea and is salty at high tide and fresh at low tide. Swimming at the Blue Lagoon covers the ropes, who should skip the swing and what to bring.

What Manusale Tours’ day includes, and what reviewers report

The six hours start with a pickup in the Port Vila area: you choose one of four pickup points at checkout, and the van collects you up to an hour before the 9:00 AM start. The price covers entry to Eton Beach, the Rarru Cascades and the Blue Lagoon, lunch, fresh fruit and local snacks, coffee or tea, water and soft drinks, snorkelling gear and an air-conditioned van with WiFi. Beer and other alcohol are not included.

Most of the 47 reviews are about the guide and the pace. A reviewer from Australia wrote on 2 October 2026 that the group could stay at each stop for as long as it wanted, and that it was the favourite day trip of the reviewer’s two girls, aged 9 and 11. The low ratings name specific failures. On 25 October 2026 a reviewer reported a pickup more than an hour late without notice, WiFi, snorkelling gear, fruit, snacks and drinks not provided, and a tour that ended at 2:50 PM rather than 5 PM. A family of 13 wrote on 4 July 2026 that the fruit, tea and coffee, snorkelling gear and WiFi were not offered. A reviewer on 11 September 2026 found Eton Beach “wasn’t much due to tides”. If an inclusion matters to you, ask the operator to confirm it when you book.

The entry fee, in one line

You pay it in cash at the gate, and the Tourism Office does not publish the amount: it calls it “a nominal entrance fee” in its family itinerary for Efate, and puts the fees at Efate’s tourist sites in general between 500 and 2,000 vatu a person. Manusale Tours, Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu, Island Life Tours and Atmosphere Tours Vanuatu list the entry in their price. The Blue Lagoon entry fee sets out which tours include it.

Blue Lagoon from Port Vila: getting there

The Blue Lagoon is on the far side of the island from Port Vila. On your own it means a taxi or a minivan, a fare agreed before you leave and cash for the gate; with a tour, the van and the entry are arranged. Getting to the Blue Lagoon from Port Vila compares the options. If you are choosing where to sleep, where to stay on Efate sets the areas against the tours’ pickup lists.

Eden on the River and the half day

Most Blue Lagoon tours pair it with Eden on the River, a garden and river park about 20 minutes’ drive from Port Vila, with swimming holes and walking trails. If you are weighing a four-hour trip against a six- or seven-hour day, half day or full day lines them up.

From a cruise ship

Two tours here state cruise-ship pickup: Atmosphere Tours Vanuatu’s half day with a duty-free stop, and Atmosphere Tours & Transfers’ full day on Viator, which starts 45 minutes after the ship berths and finishes an hour before its scheduled departure. A tour booked here is not a cruise-line excursion, so the ship does not wait for it. Give the operator your ship’s arrival and all-aboard times when you book.
