Island hopping and boat trips in Vanuatu: only operators with a confirmed program

About this list

When you look for island hopping and boat trips in Vanuatu, the first problem is telling whether an operator actually runs it. This page lists only the 9 operators in Vanuatu on Maptlantis whose structured activity data confirms an island hopping or boat trip program. Operators that turned up only because a word in their name or description happened to match are left out. They span 9 regions, including Efate & Havannah Harbour, Efate & Moso Island, Efate & Port Vila, Espiritu Santo Aore Island, Espiritu Santo Banban and Espiritu Santo Luganville. 8 of the 9 operators (89%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Most operators list year-round operation, but whether boats go out depends on the sea on the day. 7 are listed as open to beginners and 4 as open to children. Operators with structured encounter data list coral, fish, dugong and sea turtle as target species. Ways to meet them: scuba diving and boat-based watching. 9 operators are backed by an official source or a government registry. Each operator page shows the address, opening hours and source links, and how to contact the operator.
