Bridges of Eden Vanuatu: Suspension Bridges & Zipline Tour

Three suspension bridges, each one steeper than the last, ending in a river swim.

The tour suits ages 4 to 85 with moderate fitness, though it's not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal injuries.

The experience

The day starts in the tropical gardens above the river, where your guide leads you down into the riparian rainforest toward the bridges landing. Once there, you begin the bridges circuit: three suspended crossings, each one built to test your balance and nerve a little more than the last. The first bridge is the gentlest introduction. By the third, you're stepping across with real awareness of the height and the river below. Each one is designed to push you past comfort without asking the impossible, and they're maintained to world-class safety standards.

After the final bridge, you descend a mini zipline to reach the river, where you can swim and cool off. The whole circuit takes between 2 and 4 hours depending on pace and how long you linger at the water. A local guide in English or French leads the group through the gardens and across the bridges, and light refreshments are included.

You'll need to bring towels, swimmers and reefwalkers (reef shoes) for the river section. Children ages 4 to 12 pay half price and must be accompanied by an adult. Infants 3 and under go free. The tour is achievable across a wide age range, though it does require moderate fitness and balance. It's not suitable for pregnant travelers or anyone with spinal injuries. Pickup is available in some options. If you're driving yourself, the self-drive option lets you arrange your own transport to the site.
