You climb out of the transfer vehicle and the air changes—humid, floral, heavy with the salt from the bay below. Ahead, a 120‑metre suspension Skybridge threads between rainforest ridges, the Pacific glinting beyond. Peregrine falcons wheel past; ferns and bamboo lean toward the path as if nudging you forward.

You climb out of the transfer vehicle and the air changes—humid, floral, heavy with the salt from the bay below. Ahead, a 120‑metre suspension Skybridge threads between rainforest ridges, the Pacific glinting beyond. Peregrine falcons wheel past; ferns and bamboo lean toward the path as if nudging you forward.
Set on The Summit above Mele Bay, this short excursion combines accessible rainforest boardwalks (roughly 400 metres of easy trails), a panoramic suspension bridge and optional adrenaline features: zipline runs and a Giant Swing that dangle over the canopy. The property’s recent Summit Gardens introduce Balinese‑style landscaping, ponds and a bamboo grove that contrast with the raw volcanic slopes and coral reefs visible toward Port Vila. The site lies on Efate, part of Shefa Province, whose volcanic geology and reef systems have shaped local settlement and subsistence fishing for generations.
Expect a 30–45 minute four‑wheel drive from Port Vila and a total visit time of about three hours. Walks are gentle but include some stairs and uneven boardwalk. Bring sturdy closed‑toe shoes, reef‑safe sunscreen, insect repellent and a light rain shell—waterfalls are most impressive after tropical showers. There are picnic tables, toilets and a small café; a petting area keeps kids engaged, and transfers can drop you at nearby stops like Mele Cascades or Hideaway Island on request.
Timing your visit in the morning or late afternoon avoids midday heat and improves wildlife sightings. If you’re after the full experience, reserve the zipline or swing in advance; otherwise the bridge and gardens alone deliver a brief, high‑view taste of Vanuatu’s jungle and ocean interface.
