Mele Cascades Waterfall Tour
Climb the tiered turquoise pools to Efate's spectacular Mele Cascades.
Just outside Port Vila, the Mele Cascades tumble down the hillside in a series of turquoise pools to a dramatic 35-metre top waterfall. A guided walk up through the cascades — with plenty of places to swim along the way — is one of Efate's most rewarding half-day adventures.
Ace Tours & Transfers handles your return transport and guiding so you can focus on the climb, the views, and a refreshing swim under the falls.
What to expect
A guided walk up natural rock pools to the main falls, with swimming spots throughout. Wear sturdy footwear that can get wet and bring swimwear.
Pair it with the Blue Lagoon
Mele Cascades sits close to other Efate highlights and combines well with a Blue Lagoon visit for a full day out — just ask us.
