Creator's Key Takeaways
Mystery Island is absolute paradise, isn't it? Absolutely gorgeous. It is a deserted island. Nobody lives here.
If paradise exists, it's probably somewhere very close to here. Just look at these beaches and views, and this is exactly what we wanted from this cruise.
The downside if you come late in the evening is that they have all the decent cuts have gone.
Mystery Island may have involved one of the longest waits we've ever had to get ashore, but once we'd arrived, it was absolutely worth it.

Join us as we visit the breathtaking **Mystery Island, Vanuatu**, one of the most beautiful ports of call on our **Crown Princess South Pacific cruise**. With its crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sand beaches and incredible coral reefs, Mystery Island looks like paradise—but our day didn't quite go to plan. After a slow start to the morning, Si was still feeling unwell following a reaction to peanuts that began the previous day in Noumea. Despite this, we were determined to make the most of our visit to this tiny, uninhabited island. After a long wait for our tender, we finally stepped ashore and set off to explore everything Mystery Island has to offer. In this video, we'll take you on a full tour of the island, including: 🌴 A walk through the coconut groves and woodland trails. 📸 A visit to the famous Cannibal Pot photo spot. ✈️ The unique grass airstrip that runs through the middle of the island. 🏖️ Stunning white sand beaches and spectacular South Pacific scenery. 🐠 Incredible snorkelling amongst colourful tropical fish in crystal-clear waters. 🌊 A complete walk around one of Vanuatu's most idyllic islands. After returning to the **Crown Princess**, we enjoy pizza, cocktails, a delicious premium dessert and a relaxing sea day featuring onboard laundry, pool games, lunch from the Salty Dog Grill, Movies Under the Stars and dinner in the main dining room. If you're planning a **Princess Cruises** holiday or wondering whether **Mystery Island** is worth visiting, this vlog will give you an honest look at what to expect, including practical tips about the tender process and how to make the most of your time ashore.
