Mystery Island (Inyeug)

Mystery Island (Inyeug) stands apart in Vanuatu’s cruising landscape with its intimate scale, powdery white sand, and a turquoise lagoon that feels more like a private sanctuary than a routine port call. Its signature experiences invite travelers to slow down: a guided snorkel safari amid vibrant coral gardens and curious reef fish; a barefoot stroll along palm-fringed beaches to a lookout with sweeping views of Efate and nearby islets; and a cultural welcome that includes shell crafts, music, and a coconut-cracking demonstration that puts island life in motion. Nearby destinations are accessible in short water-taxi hops, from Lelepa Island’s cliffside vistas to the Mele Cascades and a fresh-caught lunch served under shaded canopies, turning a day at Mystery Island into a curated taste of southern Vanuatu. The port’s fleet is purpose-built for this intimate setting—compact tenders and glass-bottom boats glide guests ashore with minimal wake, while snorkel gear, shaded seating, and eco-conscious guides ensure comfort and conservation. Onboard services align with the island’s laid-back rhythm: shore-excursion desks ready to tailor your day, refreshed picnic lunches featuring local produce, clean restroom facilities, and calm lounges on shore where guests recharge and swap stories. Mystery Island’s ecosystem—the reef-protected cove, the crystal-clear water, and the unhurried tempo—delivers a distinctive, immersive escape that stands apart from larger, busier ports and anchors visitors in authentic Vanuatu hospitality, culture, and natural beauty.
