I’ve never seen orange coconuts before either
Thank you for this video, we going on Fiji lsland in May 2025
@@scovianathon6185 that will be fabulous. We are looking at a Princess Cruise for 2026 which does 3 stops in Fiji, Mystery Island, Noumea and Lifou over 12 to 14 days I think it is.
I stayed alone there for a week 30 years ago before the cruise ship buildings & infrastructure were built on Inyeug. If i needed anything I had to light a fire & signal to Anelgowhat for a small boat to come over. It was pristine. I hope the cruises take all the garbage back to the ship with them.
Generally pretty well cleaned up and gone by last tender. Still a beautiful spot. We were just there 9 days ago. Video to come of the special tour I did on main Island.
THIS IS NOT A VIDEO ABOUT THE CASINO. ITS A BORING VAGUE REFERENCE. WOW I SAW A BREAKFAST BUN. WHERE IS THE FRIGGEN CASINO MATE????
Got told to put the camera away and if they saw me or anyone in my party filming in the casino itself we would be banned and kicked out. The Star Casino is the name of the whole building - its on signs everywhere. Sorry but if you want to see what is on the gaming floor go look yourself as I am not getting banned just for you.
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 Fair enough, Its a good video for non casino floor reviews and worth watching, just a little frustrating that yours and many other videos take our time and still dont even show you a single image of the actual CASINO. Thanks for your videos.
Go project your toxic energy elsewhere. If you don't like the content just move on. God it just doesn't hurt to be kind.
@@Say_less I am not objecting to the sentiment and projected kindness from the poster, what i object to is him pretending to do good deeds when they are set up and staged. Imagine if Jesus just pretended to do things and when questioned said yeah the miracle was fake but it make people happy. Is that what you think of Christianity, following liars who make up staged fake kind deeds for clicks, what a pathetic human does that, i can understand why, FOR MONEY. Its like all the fake Christian artists who sucker Christians but are not at all believers and just do it for money. So why on earth do you follow such humans, what does that make YOU?
@@Say_less You really need to embrace your name sake. SAY LESS! LOL
Hi what tour company for the paddle boards and beach huts
@@Prue196 sorry! driving lol link is in description for Joseph.
Here you go Prue196 - mysteryislandtours.com/
Oops my mistake, not that one - contact Joseph direct here - josephyasifu82@gmail.com
Sorry to rain on your parade But Mystery Island was used by the Americans during WWII, because the Japs couldn't work out where the planes were coming from
do they take American Dollars? We are cruising in Jan 2025 with Royal Caribbean
Unfortunately no. Small denomination Australian notes such as $5 or $10 or coins only. "IF" things have changed since we made this video and I am not aware of it I can let you know as we will "Hopefully weather permitting" be on the Island on Dec 9th this year. Don't forget to book your excursions etc on the Island direct with Joseph through the link supplied in description as Royals rates are nearly 3 x the cost and they use him. Regards Tony & Selina
I’ve been to those markets, they are awesome.
It has a great mix of locally produced goods over the cheap import cr#p that you usually see at markets these days.
Beautiful gardens
Yes they are
Cool way to travel around
Public transport in Sydney is awesome compared to Qld.
Thank you for this video, I use to visit this casino 20 years ago with my group of friends weekly, the foods service is great. This video shows me how much renovations have changed, thank you so much!!
@@timcheou5649 You are very welcome.
Omg the shopping centre has been knocked down, what a shame. Can you still get to darling harbour from the novotel then? When we stayed in 2022 we walked through the shopping centre, although not many shops were open in it sadly
Hi, yes you can. If you walk down the street towards the STAR and turn right at the intersection it takes you across the foot bridge or if you go down through the car park to the Light Rail stop you can cross over and it brings you through between the Sofitel and the International Convention Centre right to where the Fireworks were. Stand by for a short Video on Tumbalong Park to follow where I walk from the Light Rail crossing up to the Chinese Garden of Friendship and another in the Garden of Friendship.
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 awesome will keep an eye out for your video we didnt get to see the friendship garden last time, hoping to see it on our next holiday there :)
We stayed here before our cruise on 2022, it was lovely ❤ loved watching the fireworks from the lobby balcony on the sat night ❤
Great views over the Harbor. Hard to get my head around the American spelling of Harbor/Harbour that is used lol.
Hi guys great video ❤❤ just to let you know that you spelt novotel wrong. ❤
Ooops! Lol. Thanks for letting us know.
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 hehe thats ok. i didnt want to come across as being rude, because it wasnt meant rudely at all :) but other people arent as nice, so just wanted to let you know before someone else said something. it was an easy mistake to do, hope you have an awesome day :)
Hi Tony ! Love the content. I’m going to Mystery Island in 12 days ! I’m wondering if the water will be too cold for a swim ? How much for the cultural tour please?
Water should be perfect as it is usually around 22 degrees. Contact Joseph - josephyasifu82@gmail.com and get the latest price for the Cultural Tours and would probably be a good idea to book it ASAP. Have fun. Can't wait to be back there in Dec ourselves.
"I feel like I'm there too."
Thank you. We have a lot to learn about doing this style video.
Food looks amazing I will definitely try to eat there!
You will not regret it!
Thanks for the vid, I’m heading there soon !!
Hope you enjoy it!

😂😂😂😂 merry Christmas!!! ❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too .
Just watched your video Tony...very enjoyable. I am a long term resident, so I hope you don't mind my input. Ni Vanuatu ( meaning Vanuatu born ) is pronounced 'nee'. Aneityum is pronounced Ann-eye-chium. 😊
Hi Joanne. No problem at all. Thank you for correcting me. I would rather know so I dont accidentally upset anyone by pronouncing it incorrectly. The Ni Vanuatu people are so nice and I look forward to returning again in just under12 mths to visit and learn more about their home and culture. We are hoping to get across to Aneityum not that other Island of A knee tium lol, to do the village tour. I am just glad that our Video has reached so many viewers and in doing so has hopefully encouraged more people to visit and book activities through Joseph and the team he has there as I know it benefits so many people especially the children. Regards Tony & Selina
Was in mystry island 3 weeks ago, waste of time, nothing to see, windy and water was cold, went back to ship
It is what you make of it. The cultural Village Tours are definitely worth seeing if nothing else.
Very helpful, thanks for posting
Glad it was helpful!
I don’t think there is anything directly related between large ships and not having lower decks you can walk all around the ship. It is probably just that the larger ships are newer and that I the newer ships they are trying to squeeze more people in.
Agreed, they have turned all the outside space into balconies. It was always nice to be able to stroll around the lower outer decks or just go and sit there watching the waves and smelling tthe sea air. Thats progress though. Interesting that Royal are looking at sending smaller ships back down though and possibly all year round as they could access more ports/destinations due to size. Hope its in next couple of seasons.
Looks absolutely stunning! Can't wait until we go for our first time to mystery Island
Hope you enjoy it!
6:50 Tiens, un français ! ;)
Yes many French and Brazilian people in this area.
Thank you for this video it was very imformative :)
Glad it was helpful!
Paradise
It sure is!
I'm going on a cruise next week that includes stopping at Inyeug. Thank you so much for your informative and budget-friendly video! The best I've seen on UA-cam. Will be booking through Joseph as recommended.
Wish we were with you. You will love it.
I have booked a cruise to go to the islands in December and Mystery Island is one of the destination. I have been watching a lot of You tuber introducing Mystery Island and I nominate you are the TOP NUMBER ONE. Yours is more in depths and details - covering a lot of useful information. Thanks!
Hi Wendy. Thank you for the very kind words. We really want to get back up there ourselves and do a follow up on the main Island of Aneityum showing the schooling, food etc. IF you are lucky enough to get to stop at Isle de Pines on your trip, then have a look at our video on it. Hoping to have a new one on New Caledonia (Noumea) up very shortly with plenty of information and tips. Make sure you are subscribed so that you get an automatic notification when a new one comes out. Kind Regards Tony & Selina - Down Under Cruising & Travel.
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 My upcoming cruise in December also includes stopping at Noumea as well. So looking forward to your Noumeas trips video! In fact, I have already subscribed your channel so that I won't miss anything.
Thanks for subscribing Wendy. Work allowing, I hope to have Noumea up next weekend so in 5 to 6 days. Regards Tony
hi :) just wondering, we are cruising here on carnival splendor in april 2025, were not swimmers or people who sunbake on the beach, so i was wondering, you mentioned 2 resorts over there, do you know if its possible to buy a day pass to access the resorts (well one of them) and use there onsite facilities when you are coming across from a cruise ship?
Off the top of our heads we dont honestly know. I will do some research and try and get you an answer in the next 24hrs which I will post here for you.
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 awww thats so nice thank you :)
I have received an automated reply back from Le Meridien saying they have received my message and will get back to me ASAP. It would be the pick of them. The others are more just accomodation and meal packages.
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 thank you so so much :)
Just added details in description for this video for Le Meridean. They got back to me today.
awesome video thanks for sharing :) omg i would be totally terrified in that tender boat, im already scared about going in one, i would be a mess travelling in that
Thanks for watching! Selina was the same and ended up absolutely loving it. I am sure that if we had the time she would have gone back to the Island and back again just for the waves lol. Going in it was like a sheet of glass in the morning and we saw turtles and other fish. The water was so clear all the way in. It is hard to explain how blue the water is. Regards Tony & Selina (Down Under Cruising & Travel)
I'm going to the Island in march 2025, I will be taking a bunch of school supplies with me to help out. Education is something every Human Being deserves as a basic right, In my opinion anyway.
We wholeheartedly agree.
Iam to
Awesome little bro. I just know Keith was watching with a smile. You did good. All my love. ❤❤
Thanks Sis. It was hard turning around to say something about a car and he wasn't there!
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 completely understand hon. Not sure I could have done it.
Never been on a cruise but think I would enjoy the smaller one myself.
Much less hectic trying to find your way around and very relaxing with so many places to go and look at the sea no matter what the weather. The big ships, you have to go up on top deck and get wet if its raining.
Can you book on the day for the walking tour place
Hi Nico. If on a smaller ship like the P&O ones you may get away with it. I would message Joseph through his page on Facebook and book to be safe. If for some reason you cant stop at the Island or are unable to make it, you just let him know and you get your money back. I am sure I included a link in the description. If I stuffed up and didnt, look up Walking Sun Snorkelling Tours and PM Joseph.
Only one place better than Mystery island in Vanuatu and that is Champagne Bay which only a few cruises now visit 😔😔😔😢😢😢
Its very puzzling how many places up in that region are still not open to Cruises but you are able to fly in and stay there. Looking at the itineraries right through to mid 2025 there are only a handful of ships stopping at Lifou, Isle de Pine and Mare, most in late 24/25 although I did see that Brilliance of the Seas is stopping at both Mare and Isle de Pines several times in the 23/24 season from Sydney.
Mystery island is awesome! Out of 5 cruises we only managed to get there once due to various medical emergencies which required the cruise ships having to divert / return to New Caledonia 😔😔😔. I met one guy who went on seven cruises that included Mystery Island but alas it remained a mystery as he never made it!
Unfortunately that seems to be a very common theme so we consider ourselves very fortunate that we made it first time. Champagne Bay is the mystery to us as, as you say it is rarely visited a bit like Isle de Pine which we thought was closed but I did see it on someones itinerary the other day when we were looking at the offers.
Lots of info thank you!
You are very welcome. We hope you enjoy your trip.
Thanks guys. So helpful. I am off to stay for 7 nights at the property and you gave me so many pointers. I've already prejoined the Star Club and will look into the Exec membership.
Hope you enjoyed your stay. We were there yesterday and noticed a few changes.
One of nature's greatest inventens ever in her 14 billions years but you ever destory this ilnland mother earth ill will find you and rip your fucking thoat out out your arse leave this world alone all i find you you mental patient
I really enjoyed this video. im about to go and found the info brilliant
Thanks for the kind comments. You will love it! If you decide to try some of the great excursion offerings from Joseph you will be well looked after. We cant wait to get back up there later this year to video the new offerings he has over on Aneityum (the main Island). Regards Tony & Selina
@@downundercruisingandtravel8113 my wife watched the video last night, today she went and purchased some kits for the kids to donate when we get there. I will definitely purchase tours etc from the people directly instead of the cruise. I'll let them know you sent us. Cheers again
Great video, appreciate your tips! Thanks for taking the time to upload and share 👍
You are most welcome. We appreciate the comments. Regards Tony & Selina
Please recommend best brand reaf shoes with soles that won't fall out once wet we've been through so many that just go in the bin each year 3years ago went on a cruise this island 🏝 was skipped because of the weather and current conditions so went to mari island had hair done getting done again this year can't wait
Hi. When it comes to Reef/water shoes I understand your hesitation. I can only recommend the ones we purchased 5 years ago from a local Fishing shop on the Gold Coast which has since closed down but the link below has the exact same ones. Ours have never had the soles come out and I still wear mine today when I go rock fishing so have lasted well. The advantage I found of these over the style more like a sneaker is that I can just slip my flippers on straight over the shoe. The sneaker type was too thick with the big sole on them and at the time I thought why pay for an expensive pair that I will only wear once. Definitely outlasted our expectations 5 fold. Link is for Ladies - they have mens too. www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/ladies-pink-aqua-shoes/ Regards Tony
Hi Tony, thankyou so much for this very informative information. New cruisers will definitely find this helpful.
Thanks Sharon. Appreciated. We are trying to create content that gives information that is useful and is not being done by others over and over. As a result we are not pushing out a lot of content ...yet lol. If you or anyone else has any ideas for subjects not covered by others or just skimmed over with no real detail, please let us know and Selina and I will discuss and see what we can come up with. Same goes with possible excursion ideas from ports like Brisbane ( obviously being Gold Coast based) Sydney or Melbourne. Heading interstate midyear. Trying to think outside the box and the normal cruise advertised ones. Stay safe...regards Tony and Selina.
Questions have arisen re the letter or proof of insurance coverage for "international cruise travel". Our plan doesn't mention a cruise but does cover us internationally. Wonder if this would apply when we get on the ship in New Zealand? Might be fun time!
We have always just asked and they have added the wording in at no charge.
Honestly cant see it being an issue with NZ and we have travelled many times without knowing about it without issue. After a bad deal with one company I dont trust any of them any more.
Thank you , that was a great video
Hi Barbb. We appreciate the comment. Joseph has many more Tour options on the Main Island of Aneityum now as well as more options on Mystery itself so we have to get back up there ourselves to do a follow up. Can't wait. I think I mentioned in the video that it was my birthday when we were there and I thought I was in heaven. It really is a beautiful place and the people are super friendly. Any questions please ask and if we can't lock down an answer I will reach out to Joseph and find out. Regards Tony & Selina
