Join us for an unforgettable adventure! The Bridges of Eden tour is perfect for everyone, offering a delightful mix of fun and learning. Our friendly guides will take you on a journey where you can truly connect with nature and enjoy the calming atmosphere that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

When you arrive, our friendly staff will greet you with warm smiles, making you feel right at home! Your tour guides will give you a quick tour introduction and safety briefing while you're fitted into your safety harness. The tour will set off with a stroll through our beautiful gardens as our guides share fascinating stories about their kastom and culture. The path leads to the start of the river walk, which is set in a beautiful tropical rainforest and descends to the river, where your adventure across the first bridge begins!

Built and maintained to world-class safety standards, three suspended pathways or bridges lead you to wind your way across the stunning Rentapao River for an incredible journey through the rainforest. Each bridge is about 2 meters above the river, giving you a perfect view of the stunning surroundings. The first bridge is 23 meters long with an inviting wood walkway designed to make you feel at ease, even if you’re a bit unsure. It’s very stable so that you can stroll across with confidence. By the time you reach the end of the first bridge, you’ll feel secure in your harness and ready to take on the next bridge!

The second bridge is 52 meters long and has sections of timber walkways, so you’ll feel relaxed about stopping and taking photos of the magnificent scenery. This bridge passes underneath a Natora tree that must have fallen off the cliff wall many years ago. It is now anchored to the wall and river bed and continues to grow to form a natural archway.

The final bridge stretches 23 meters and takes you back across the river. From this bridge, you’ll enjoy a wonderful view down the river and can easily catch a glimpse of what the rest of your group is up to!

The last part of the bridge circuit features a fun 17-meter mini-zipline, perfect for those who might not usually try something adventurous! If you just can't get enough, you can enjoy the bridge circuit once, twice, or thrice!

The company that designed and constructed the bridges has designed and built structures throughout Australia and Asia and describes this tour as “world-class” and a “Unique riverscape experience.”

Upon completing the Bridges Circuit, you can unharness and jump in for a swim or go for a walk through the garden. When you’re done adventuring, return to reception to relax and finish with a tropical fruit tasting platter.

Experience the Bridges of Eden and immerse yourself in nature's tranquility. Relax and rejuvenate amidst stunning scenery of the Rentapao River.

Our guides will demonstrate the art of traditional preparation and cooking methods. And then, it’s your turn! Roll up your sleeves and unleash your inner chef as you craft your very own simboros.

But that’s not all! Stroll through our vibrant kitchen gardens and breathe in the fresh island air as you discover the origins of key ingredients like manioc, island cabbage, lap-lap leaves, and coconuts. Feel the earth beneath your feet as you wander past the luscious pepper and vanilla vines and the colourful local fruit and vegetable garden, and even catch a glimpse of how kava is cultivated and learn about its profound significance in the culture of Vanuatu.

No island feast is complete without coconut milk! Have a go at making this essential ingredient the time-honoured way by scratching (grating) fresh coconuts to yield shredded coconut flesh. You'll have a blast squeezing the flesh through your hands and straining it to create creamy coconut milk.
