Diver and non-divers alike will enjoy a vacation at Hideaway Island Marine Reserve, a place where guests can swim, snorkel, dive, and relax in the water. This attraction is more than just accommodation. It offers three scheduled dives a day, but if you would rather stay close to shore, take time to discover the beach's beautiful secret. The coral reef just off shore is teeming with tropical fish and bright coral. Remember to wear reef shoes and be careful of the sharp coral. Also be aware that visiting to swim requires a fee. Take a look at our Port Vila trip planner to schedule your visit to Hideaway Island Marine Reserve and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

A great easy snorkelling activity. Great for families, free water taxi there included in the admission fee. Snorkelling is amazing especially if you go further out. It was my kids (8 & 11) first...

The island itself is nice Very rocky so you need to wear sea shoes to swim and walk on the beach Bring your own snorkelling equipment or pay to hire one on site There’s an entrance fee to pay...

Hideaway is a small but lovely little island about 20mins outside of Port Vila. There is a fee to visit the island. It has Villas that you can book and stay in, it definitely is a place to do...

Very nice place for snorkeling and post a letter at the underwater post office. The coral isn't really colourful and almost seems to be dying, however there are thousands of fishes, sea urchins, clams everywhere. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because of the equipment for snorkeling which is disastrous. The price is 800 Vatu but we went 4 times but all of them leak or are broken. Too bad because the whole visit depends on that, I recommend taking your own

WOW ! This place is the best. The snorkelling is absolutely amazing, only a stones throw(if that)from the beach and you are snorkelling with the most beautiful reef fish in this magnificent marine sanctuary. The staff are such beautiful, friendly and warm people. We will definitely be back !

Really good snorkeling. Beautiful fish and aquatic creatures to be found here. Make sure to bring snorkelling gear if your hotel offers it as hiring gear is expensive. Nice to see small hermit crabs crawling along the beach.

we wanted a snorkelling holiday for our kids. This place is perfect. lots of colourful fish easily accessible from the shore. Accommodation is reasonable. The menu could do with a bit more variety, especially the breakfast bar.

Friendly staff food not to bad rooms are pretty good has a swimming pool on the island great place to relax There is no sand on beach all coral but the snorkelling is fantastic plenty of fish make sure you pack reef shoes
