Snorkel the crystal-clear waters at the resort and spot colourful tropical fish.
Grab one of the free available fat wheel pushbikes for hire and take a tour of the island, you might even want to grab a picnic lunch and head to a beach.

After a few days exploring your oasis retreat, if you are itching to get out and see more of Vanuatu and enjoy the sites and tours of the mainland you can easily jump on the ferry. Ferries run on a schedule and there are 5 return trips a day. These times coincide with dive operators and tours. There are many wonderful tours on the mainland – from horse-riding through pristine waters to taking historic tours of WWII relics to visit Champagne Beach and swimming in some of the purest, most stunning blue holes in the world.
Apart from all of the spectacular island activities on offer, no tropical getaway would be complete without delicious food, cold drinks and cultural music and dance. You will be immersed in the island charm at Aore’s regular ‘Island Nights’ with a range of local foods on offer while traditional musicians and dancers treat you to a memorable cultural experience. You can even book a ‘chefs table dining experience’ to enjoy an indulgent meal under the stars on their jetty.
