Quad-Bike Jungle and Blue Lagoon Adventure from Port Vila

The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for firmer trails
Morning departures usually mean drier, less churned routes—easier traction and a smoother ride.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect feet from rocks and mud—no flip-flops on the quad.
Protect electronics
Use a small drybag or wrist-mount for cameras; expect dust, spray and the occasional splash.
Respect local communities
Slow down when passing villages and follow your guide’s instructions; these trails are community access routes.
