For sure one of the nicest blue holes I have seen in Vanuatu, way more beautiful than ri ri. You can easily kajak up Cristal River. Its about a 30-45min way. kayaks for 2 or single kayaks can be rented out at Island Time Kayaking. It's amazing seeing the water color change when you go up the river until the very deep and cristal clear blue of the swimming place. Take the swing down from the Banyan tree, its lots of fun.

A short drive from Port Vila a visit to the Blue Lagoon is a must.A swim in the lagoon &relax in the beautiful surrounds makes a visit well worth it.Sun lounges by the lagoon to enjoy the tranquillity after a swim. Lots of tables &chairs for if you want to take your own picnic.Best to arrive early before the crowds,we were lucky enough to be the only ones there for an hour before visitors came.Beautiful & well maintained.

We loved Eden on the River as it was our kind of really relaxing afternoon. The gardens are well designed and maintained, and have little signs that tell you about the plants. The owner, Carolyn (Appologies if mis-spelt) also showed us around her veggie / fruit garden which we were really interested in. This was much more informative than the garden tour with the guide was. Many of the home grown fruit and veggies end up on the menu in the cafe - including the white Kumala which they use for hot chips. I’m not a usual kumara / sweet potato fan, but these were AMAZING chips, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and more potato flavoured than the orange varieties. The cafe also serves Tanna coffee in a plunger for 2 - lovely :) The river is stunning and has beautiful big clear pools. We borrowed 2 of the tire tubes and had loads of fun just floating around in the pools and sliding down the little cascades. It’s shady so nice and cool, and very relaxing... I reckon we spent over an hour just swimming. We actually went to Eden on the River with the intention to play mini-golf but ended up doing the ‘bridge walk and garden walk’ instead as it looked interesting on the brochure. I can appreciate that for children, and people who haven’t done much in the way of adventure activities the bridge would be exciting. But for us we took less than 20 minutes to do the walk and cross the bridge - if we’d seen it first we would have stuck with the self-tour and mini-golf idea. The fruit platter after the tour was nice touch. If we went again we’d just pay the 1000vt entrance fee each and enjoy the gardens / river without the tours... and then pay to play the mini-golf. In saying that though, the value for our money was in the owners who, when we told them how much we’d paid to get a bus out (1000vt for 2) they told us it was too much. So at the end of the work day they drove us back to the road with some of the staff and got one of the young staff members to help us get a bus for - costing us only 200vt each back to Vila. Overall a really relaxing day, but would suggest people do the river walk for themselves first (included in the entrance fee) and have a look and decide if the bridges will excite you.
