Aore Island

A year ago, we took the short 3-hour flight to Vanuatu for a long-ish weekend.  The goal was pretty simple: relax, snorkel and dive. We stayed at the Aore Island Resort, just off of Espiritu Santo. There is little to nothing on the island, a couple of small villages and the resort.  The resort was a bit rustic. It was absolutely lovely, and we were well taken care of. I would highly recommend it.  We did approximately four dives off the shores. These were organized by Aore Adventures. I reckon Vanuatu ranks among my top three dive sites so far.  The coral is great. The dives included both shallow reef dives and deep wreck dives. A pod of dolphins raced our boat. This happened as we were returning to the island after one set of dives. Fantastic island holiday.
