Select participants and date
Wet air clings to your shirt as the van drops you at the trailhead, and the rainforest seems to inhale and hold its breath. A narrow boardwalk pushes into green that leans over the path—ferns reach like hands, vines braid tree trunks, and the first suspension bridge swings gently, daring you across its wooden planks. This is the Bridges of Eden circuit, a half-day loop outside Port Vila where a string of suspended bridges and a compact mini-zipline thread through lowland tropical forest.

Adventure Tips
Wear closed-toe shoes
Traction matters: boardwalks, roots, and muddy patches make sturdy trail shoes essential.
Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1 liter of water—the humidity and short climbs deplete you faster than distance suggests.
Secure your camera
Bridges sway and the mini-zip is fast; use a strap or chest mount to avoid dropped gear.
Bring insect repellent
Mosquitoes are most active near water and at dawn or dusk—repellent keeps the focus on the view.

The route runs on slopes shaped by Efate’s volcanic past; local communities have increasingly developed low-impact tourist infrastructure to share kastom and livelihoods.
Conservation
The operator maintains trails and limits group sizes to reduce erosion; visitors are asked to avoid single-use plastics and respect village land boundaries.
