Port villa to santo.

Hey guys, does air Vanuatu still travel to santo from port villa? Their website isn’t working at the moment. And therefore I can’t get any definitive answer. Is anyone 100% sure that they are still flying? Thank you :-)

How to get to Luganville from Port Vila

Hey all really interested in Barrier beach resort for the dates 8/16-8/30 and I am flying from the US. I cannot find any flights from my airport PDX in the US to luganville. They all go to Port Vila and then I can't find a way to get from VLI to SON. I see there is a ferry but I just don't see how to get to luganville from Port Vila without taking the ferry. Am I missing something?

Entry Requirements, August 2025

My fiance and I are getting married and thinking to honeymoon in either the cook islands, fiji, or vanuatu. As I look into each I noticed there is a "proof of funds" requirement for U.S. travelers. What exactly does that mean or look like. Do I bring my tax return or show bank/investment accounts? I have never run into this requirement before. Also open to advice/opinions for each location. Thank you so much!

custom chiefs day - Tanna or Santo?

Hey! I'm traveling to Vanuatu in March and was wondering which island would be the best to experience the custom chiefs day. I'm looking for local and authentic experience which will also be as welcoming and engaging as possible. Any recommendations?

Has anyone used VIMB for Vanuatu citizenship?

My work is going remote permanently and I've been daydreaming about living somewhere totally different. Been reading about Vanuatu and it seems like a pretty chill place with beautiful beaches. I came across some stuff about VIMB citizenship programs while researching. Anyone here actually been through this process or living in Vanuatu?

Places to get local food in Port Vila?

Is there anywhere where locals eat in Port Vila? I’m looking to try some local cuisine instead of just the food offered by resorts that caters to foreign travellers.

Yakel Tribe in Tanna

Such an amazing experience visiting this remote tribe in Tanna 🙏🏼 Chief Alby was super friendly and happy to see me, the dancing and singing was absolutely wonderful and loved hearing his stories about Prince Phillip and just life in general. What an amazing week it was in Tanna 🇻🇺

Efate hiking

I know of the Mele Cascades hike, but I was wondering if anyone knew of another good hike on Efate? I have heard of an “Oyster Island Trail” on Efate but do not know where to look for that.

Best way to get to Makekula

Other than the long ferry ride, what would be the best way to get from Port Vila to Malekula? Tried to look for light options online without much luck.

Port Vila - Vanuatu

Guys, i'm going to Port Vila in Feb. I have a few questions about what to do and where else to go.
Is the underwater post office really worth a visit? by the photos I saw, it doesn't look like a big deal.

Also, do you recommend any tour companies or they're all basically the same?

Does anybody went there after the earthquake? We're staying in Iririki Resort.

Thanks!

extra baggage on Air Vanuatu domestic flights?

Hi there, I'll be flying Port Vila to Santo and back, and there appears to be 5kg carry on and 10kg checked baggage for Air Vanuatu domestic flights.

Can someone please tell me how much they charge for extra weight? My Virgin flight from Australia to Port Vila and back has 23kg Checked baggage so I'll either need to travel light or pay extra..

Any helpful info would be appreciated

Tour Guide/agent wanted :)

Hi guys, I am soon travelling to Vanuatu and wanted to ask you if could recommend any tour guide for Malekula or a company that I can book some (multi-)day adventures with? And if so, what would you do if you had three days on the island but maybe also during layover days on Efate? :-)

Thank you very much in advance!!

Where to Snorkel in Port Vila

We are heading to Port Vila on the 1st of January and wanted to know what are the best spots to swim and go snorkelling. We are staying for 5 days and do not have any hard plans yet, so any other recommendations for Efate would be amazing.
