The experience brings together the harbour, your private group, time on the water and a dinner at Trees and Fishes in one carefully paced evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Choose a Private Sunset Cruise on Port Havannah Harbour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A private charter gives your group a personal way to spend the evening. You set out with your own captain, host and vessel rather than joining a scheduled shared departure. The experience can therefore suit a couple, a family or friends travelling together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Port Havannah Harbour is the setting for the cruise, with the evening beginning and ending at Trees and Fishes Port Havannah. The harbour cruise includes secluded bays and tropical-island views, followed by the reserved island dinner experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For guests staying at Trees and Fishes<\/a>, the cruise fits naturally into a private retreat stay. You can spend the afternoon at the pool, beach or spa, then meet the crew for an evening on the water and return for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cruise is the package’s included on-water experience. Guests can also discuss private fishing, snorkelling and other available activities with our team when planning their stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can We Add a Sunset Cruise to a Vanuatu Fishing or Snorkelling Holiday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Our private sunset cruise<\/a> can be a relaxing complement to a holiday that includes time on the water during the day. Ocean Blue offers private half-day and full-day blue-water fishing charters, while our Vanuatu Experiences program includes private fishing, snorkelling and sunset cruising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For multi-day guests at Trees and Fishes, the sunset cruise can add a slower evening between fishing days. For couples, it can sit alongside a spa treatment, island dining and private accommodation. For families and groups, it creates a shared evening experience that does not require anyone to be an angler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team can discuss the available experience options and help you plan a stay or day trip that fits the time you have in Vanuatu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can We Expect From Dinner After the Cruise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the harbour cruise, we return to Trees and Fishes for a chef-prepared gourmet dinner in a reserved island setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Hacienda, our island cuisine draws on fresh local produce, seafood, organic meats and seasonal ingredients. The venue offers both lunch and dinner, with a current selection of wines, champagne, boutique beers, spirits and cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dinner is part of the sunset-cruise experience. It gives guests time to continue the evening together once they are back on land, rather than needing to arrange a separate dining plan after the boat returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
