Practical Information

Getting Around

Inter-island travel requires domestic flights operated by Air Vanuatu; book these well in advance as schedules can be limited. On each island, transportation options include rental cars (international license required), taxis, and tour operator vehicles. Many accommodations offer airport transfers. For activities like blue holes and cultural tours, hiring a guide with a vehicle is recommended. Port Vila has some public transportation, but other islands rely primarily on private vehicles. Roads can be rough, especially on Tanna and in rural Santo areas. Most tour operators include transportation in their packages, simplifying logistics considerably.

Book Ahead

Book domestic flights between islands as early as possible, especially during peak season (June-September). The Millennium Cave tour should be booked 1-2 days ahead. Mount Yasur volcano tours can typically be arranged through your accommodation but booking ahead is wise. The Summit zipline and cultural tours benefit from advance booking. Accommodation on Tanna and Santo can be limited, so reserve early. Diving on Santo's wrecks requires advance booking with dive operators.

Packing Essentials

Reef shoes for water activities, lightweight hiking shoes, waterproof phone case or camera, quick-dry clothing, swimwear, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen), insect repellent, light rain jacket, modest clothing for village visits, headlamp for volcano viewing, dry bag for boat trips, basic first aid supplies, any prescription medications

Total Budget

$2,400-3,200 for 14 days (excluding international flights)

Customize Your Trip

Budget Version

Reduce costs by staying in guesthouses and budget accommodations throughout (saving $30-50 per night), eating primarily at local markets and simple restaurants, skipping the distillery tour and some paid attractions, using public transportation where available, booking group tours rather than private guides, staying only on Efate and Santo (eliminating Tanna flights and accommodation), and preparing some of your own meals. Focus on free natural attractions like beaches and viewpoints. This approach can reduce daily costs to $80-120 per day while still experiencing Vanuatu's highlights.

Luxury Upgrade

Upgrade to premium resorts like Le Life Resort, Vanuatu and other high-end properties, arrange private guides and drivers for all tours, book helicopter flights between islands for aerial perspectives, enjoy fine dining at upscale restaurants nightly, add premium experiences like private yacht charters and spa treatments, arrange private snorkeling and diving excursions, stay in overwater bungalows where available, and include wine pairings and premium spirits tastings. Consider adding a fourth island like Pentecost for land diving season. Luxury upgrades can increase daily costs to $400-600 per day.

Family-Friendly

Adjust activities for children by focusing more on beaches, blue holes, and shorter waterfall walks rather than the demanding Millennium Cave trek. Choose family-friendly resorts with pools and kids' activities. The Summit offers fun for older children and teens. Replace some cultural tours with more interactive experiences like learning to weave or traditional cooking. Consider skipping Tanna's volcano for young children due to late hours and terrain. Add more beach days and snorkeling time. Many accommodations offer family bungalows. Tours can often accommodate children with advance notice, and guides are typically excellent with kids.
