This is the best day trip out of Vila for those on a budget. Cruise out to Moso Island on the graceful old Coongola, a 23m (75 ft.) trading ketch. Visit the captive breeding program for the endangered Hawksbill turtle, then head to an idyllic cove for barbeque lunch and superb snorkeling. The cruise ends with the Coongola's sails spread before the sea breeze. Magic.
