Course highlights
Six runs totalling about 1.3–1.4 km, ending with a grand finish — a canyon crossing of roughly 300 m that feels like the final curtain call.
Vanuatu Skybridge
The 120 m suspension bridge sits roughly 65 m above the canyon floor. Take slow steps, breathe deep and snap panoramic photos. From here you’ll see canyon depth, rainforest ridgelines and Mele Bay’s reef‑to‑deep‑ocean colour changes. These are proper stunning views.
Summit Gardens walk
A relaxed walk through tropical flowers, meandering paths and easy lookout benches. It’s perfect for group photos and a calmer pause after the high‑energy section.
Lookout, Jungle Bar and pace
Lookout area and Jungle Bar included. Cold drinks and a shady chill‑out spot make for a nice reset. Plan your timing: do the high‑energy portion first, then enjoy the bridge and gardens to round out the activity.
“The best itinerary mixes thrill and calm — big picture views followed by a gentle walk and a cold drink.”
- Included: full course access, Skybridge entry, Summit Gardens and lookout area.
- Timing note: allow a few hours in your itinerary to enjoy everything without rushing.
