Vanuatu

Thanks to the tropical climate, the weather is generally good throughout the year. However, April to October is when the weather is the most comfortable. The wet season is from November to March, with short periods of rain and warmer and more humid conditions, none of them affecting tours or activities. Year-round water temperatures swing between 22°C to 28°C, making swimming always enjoyable.

Bauerfield International Airport is Vanuatu’s international airport and you can find it 6 kilometres north of Port Vila. Port Vila can be accessed by pre booked bus transfer or by taxi.

Mini buses in Vanuatu do not run according to specific routes or timetables, instead, they simply take you where you wish to go. Buses are a cheap way of getting around and you can simply flag down one heading in the general direction you wish to go and they will, in a roundabout way, deliver you to that location.
