For boats
The British Admiralty Charts and Navionics Charts are 100% accurate in this anchorage and you simply follow the leads into the anchorage and anchor in white sand behind the reef. The anchorage is well protected from wind and sea from all directions except for South west through to West.
The small sticks mark the reefs when you take your tender to shore for a beach landing
For crews
Anelghowhat is the main centre on Aneityum however it is still very small with only about 300 residents, and limited facilities to service them including 3 small island stores with basic supplies, a Police Station that deals with inward yachts, a small National Bank of Vanuatu, a Western Union, a small Medical Aid Post and two schools.
If there are a number of yachts in the bay the locals will put on a traditional island welcome and feast for a small price.
The diving and snorkelling is excellent around Mystery Island and the outer reef, it is a no take area. (Contact Keith in the Village)
Mystery Island is a tourist trap for the Cruise Ships which visit on a regular cycle of usually a couple a week to enjoy a "remote" & "secluded" island.
There is small village history tour that is very informative and interesting. (Contact Ben at the primary school)
For the more adventurous there is a trip to the waterfall, this is a full day trip despite what the villagers tell you but certainly worth the walk.There is excellent Kite boarding conditions here.
