Vanuatu

You think Vanuatu's beaches are unbeatable on one island until you reach the next. Divers are delighted at the clear waters, coral reefs and shipwrecks; vulcanologists go wild for its many smoking peaks; and naturalists lust after its untouched forests, reefs and extravagant bird life.

Quick Facts

Time zone: GMT+11
Area: 860000
Population: 200000

Getting Around

The international airport is at Bauerfield, 10 minutes north of Port Vila. International airlines providing direct services to Vanuatu include Air Pacific, Air Vanuatu, Aircalin, Pacific Blue and Qantas. Departure tax is around 20.00. By sea, cruise ships arrive on average once or twice a fortnight into Port Vila. Yachts must clear customs and immigration in Luganville or Vila before 'dropping anchor'. A less common form of ocean transport is the cargo ship, which only carries a few passengers.

Weather

Vanuatu's long stretch of islands means the climate varies considerably between the tropical north (over 4000mm/157in of rainfall a year) and the subtropical south. But whenever you come you're pretty much guaranteed pleasant weather. From January to July the average high drops from 28°C (83°F) to 24°C (76°F), likewise lows move from 23°C (73°F) to 19°C (67°F). Rainfall is mostly brief and abundant but can be prolonged for a day or so in the wetter months, between November and April. The prevailing winds throughout the year are from the southeast (the famous Southeast Trade Winds of sailing ship days), bringing sunny days and cool nights. However, in the wet season the winds are more variable. Squalls can blow up in a few minutes, reaching 90km/h (56mi/h)and presenting a real danger to any small sailing vessels. In fact, any vessel caught in the open sea is in grave danger. Otherwise, just get a close-fitting hat. If you've booked a bungalow and it blows away, not to worry; your host will build another, pronto. They're used to cyclones.

Vanuatu

Siri Falls

Gaua offers spectacular hikes, including a grand, difficult two-day test that visits the island's three major sights - pretty Lake Letas, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the Pacific; Mt Garet (797m), a semiactive volcano; and fabulous Siri Falls.

Yasur Volcano

This active volcano is one of the world's most accessible. In fact, 4WD vehicles can get to within 150m of the crater rim. Mt Yasur's ash-laden smoke has smothered the vegetation, reducing the landscape to an alien prehistoric desert, with the gaunt shapes of surviving pandanus palms adding to the surrealistic view.

National Museum of Vanuatu
