There is so much coral! Is that what white sand beaches are made from? Not sure. I do know that the bright green moss makes a perfect contrast to that white sand! @vanuatuislands #vanuatu #discovervanuatu

There are lots of animals at Angelfish Cove resort. From dogs to cats to birds, each adding their own unique element. This guy was very friendly, just staring at the distance like me - this is what holidays are about! @vanuatuislands #vanuatu #discovervan

Our first day in Vanuatu was filled with local experiences. After our time sailing and snorkelling, we headed off to a fire show for dinner... I am really liking it here! @vanuatuislands #vanuatu #discovervanuatu

Off snorkelling today! The water is so blue! This picture does not do it justice; at all... It's like an azure colour, and so clear. This is straight off my phone; no filter, no adjustments; nothing. #iphoneonly #vanuatu #discovervanuatu
