Iririki Island
Iririki
A small island in Port Vila harbour directly opposite the town. The whole island is a resort, reached in two minutes by free ferry, with snorkelling and night views of the harbour.
Iririki Island sits in the middle of Port Vila harbour, separated from the town's waterfront by a narrow channel. It was once the residence of the British Resident Commissioner during the Anglo-French Condominium period, and it is now a resort covering the whole island. Trees shade the island, and a path around it leads to a snorkelling beach on the west side. The restaurant and bar overlook Port Vila and the town lights. Non-guests can take the resort ferry to the island to dine or buy a day pass, subject to resort rules. Note: prices on the island are high, and boats move through the harbour, so snorkelling is limited to designated areas.
Opening hours
Ferry runs 24 hours (per resort announcements)
