Frequently asked questions
About Vanuatu
Vanuatu is a South Pacific island nation known for its stunning natural beauty and vibrant culture. The official currency of Vanuatu is the Vanuatu vatu. With its pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and active volcanoes, Vanuatu offers a wide range of activities for travelers to enjoy. From snorkeling and diving in the crystal-clear waters to hiking through the dense jungles, there is something for everyone in this tropical paradise. The local people, known as Ni-Vanuatu, are warm and welcoming, and visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural traditions and customs of the islands.
When to visit
The best time to visit Vanuatu is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, the weather is warm and sunny, with little rainfall. The wet season, from November to April, brings higher temperatures and more frequent rain showers. However, even during the wet season, Vanuatu still offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration.
Getting around
Getting around Vanuatu is relatively easy, with several options available. Domestic flights are available between the main islands, and there are also regular ferry services. Taxis and buses are available on the larger islands, and many visitors choose to rent a car or scooter to explore at their own pace. Walking is also a popular way to get around, especially in the smaller towns and villages.
Traveller tips
Make sure to pack sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun and bugs. Respect the local customs and traditions, and dress modestly when visiting villages or sacred sites. Try the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and traditional dishes such as lap lap and coconut crab. Take the time to learn a few basic phrases in Bislama, the local language. The locals will appreciate the effort. Don't forget to bring a waterproof camera or GoPro to capture the incredible underwater scenery while snorkeling or diving. Take a day trip to one of the outer islands to experience the untouched beauty of Vanuatu's remote landscapes.
