Vanuatu Freediving & Spearfishing Adventure

8 Days / 7 Nights

Escape to the remote outer islands of Vanuatu for a raw, immersive freediving and spearfishing adventure!

Spend your days freediving over vibrant coral gardens, spearfishing in wild and pristine waters, and honing your breath-hold skills in some of the South Pacific’s most abundant marine environments. On land, trek through lush jungle, forage and hunt for local ingredients, witnessing the power of active volcanoes rising dramatically from the sea. Every meal is earned — caught in the ocean or gathered from the islands — and prepared together under the stars.

This isn’t a resort experience. It’s a return to something elemental: adventure, self-reliance, connection to nature, and the thrill of living fully immersed in one of the wildest island chains on the planet.
