Underwater Post Office, Port Vila

My highlight of my trip to Vanuatu. A fun little gimic to write on a waterproof postcard and snorkel out into the sea to post your postcards. The water was beautiful and saw lots of fish and reef. The post office wasn't manned the time we went there but we were told someone goes down to collect the mail daily. You can still buy the postcards from when you arrive on the island and hire snorkeles from that shop too so you can post your postcards. I can confirm that it actually works. A postcard arrived in the UK about a week or so later and a postcard to New Zealand took 2 weeks to arrive.

The post box was out of the water and so out of action we went, and hideaway island closed - seems the area is still recovering from lack of tourism during COVID. Check whether its open again before making the journey here
