The 3 Island Grand Tour
Personally guided by Dan & Julie — Three Islands, Endless Memories
Welcome to the adventure of a lifetime. The 3 Island Grand Tour brings together three incredible Vanuatu destinations: Espiritu Santo, Tanna and Port Vila.
16th August – 4th September 2027
With an exciting programme of guided swims, daily opportunities to get into the water and unforgettable island adventures, this tour is designed to be as much a tropical holiday as it is a swimming experience.
Whether you want to chase open-water horizons or immerse yourself in Vanuatu’s culture, food and relaxed island lifestyle, this journey offers something for swimmers and non-swimming supporters alike.
The Santo Edition
16th–23rd August
Your journey begins in Santo, where gin-clear blue holes, tropical rivers and warm Pacific water create an open-water swimming paradise.
Swim through crystal-clear blue holes, visit beautiful Champagne Beach, explore the underwater history of Million Dollar Point and discover untouched coral reefs filled with tropical marine life. Keep watch for turtles and dugongs as you experience the raw natural beauty of Espiritu Santo.
Port Vila Stopover and Tanna Coffee Tour
23rd August
Fly from Santo to Port Vila for an overnight stop before continuing to Tanna.
Visit the Tanna Coffee facility and discover how locally grown coffee is processed and roasted. There will also be time to explore Port Vila and enjoy a group dinner with your hosts.
Raw Tanna
24th–27th August
The landscape transforms as you arrive on Tanna—an island of traditional culture, dark volcanic earth and the fiery glow of Mount Yasur.
Swim into the spectacular Tanna Blue Cave, experience authentic village life and stand near the crater of one of the world’s most accessible active volcanoes. Tanna is raw, powerful and completely unlike anywhere else.
The Port Vila Experience
28th August–4th September
Complete your Grand Tour in Port Vila with warm-water swimming, sailing, island exploration and tropical relaxation.
Swim the new Pango Coast course, explore the waters surrounding Iririki Island and spend a full day sailing to Moso Island, with two memorable swims included along the way. You will also enjoy a full island adventure with DJ Tours, visiting some of Efate’s favourite natural and cultural locations.
It is the perfect ending to an extraordinary journey—beautiful water, island sunsets, great food and time to enjoy everything Port Vila has to offer.
Three iconic islands. Endless swims. One unforgettable Vanuatu adventure.
