Summary: This was an amazing half-day experience to some of the most beautiful water wonders you'll ever see. Eton Beach, the Blue Lagoon and Dona Cascade are memorable immersions into the landscape of Vanuatu. Our day started early with our amazing guide taking us to a local café to grab coffee and snacks before heading to Eton Beach. The beach itself is SPECTACULAR... With peaceful crystal blue shores, great for a relaxing swim. Our next stop was the Blue Lagoon... and I can tell you, this has been the BEST Blue Lagoon I have visited in over 5 countries. The water is perfect for swimming, a majestic blue and crystal clear. Plenty of friendly fish to keep you company as you jump into the fun. Dona Cascade was a gem. A great température for a waterfall with plenty of places to jump into the falls or play behind the falls. Our guide Simon was sooooo knowledgeable and friendly. Lastly, we ventured to Tanna Coffee for an amazing tour of the factory and great eats and of course great coffee. This experience has been magical and I look forward to bringing my family next year.
