Aore Island
Aore
An island across the Segond Channel from Luganville. Its resort offers snorkeling and kayaking, making it a great spot to view the channel and town up close.
Aore Island lies directly opposite Luganville, across the narrow Segond Channel. A ferry takes about 10 minutes. The island has a resort, coconut groves and small villages. The northwest shore has calm water, which is ideal for snorkeling, kayaking and fishing. In the evening, you can look across the water at the lights of Luganville. The resort allows non-guests to buy day packages or dine at its restaurant. The island also has concrete remains from World War II. Note that ferry schedules are set by the resort, and the channel currents can be strong, so do not snorkel far from shore.
