vanuatu

Vanuatu is like no other destination in the South Pacic. It’s subtle blend of
simplicity and sophistication comes from the country’s unique heritage and
the Anglo French inuence prior to its independence in 1980. Vanuatu is a Y
shape group of 83 islands North West of New Caledonia. The islands offer a range of diverse scenery including colourful coral reefs, raised coral atolls, stretches of white sandy beaches and activevolcanoes. Local customs and traditions are still practised today.

PORT VILA: Port Vila is located around a magnificent natural harbour offering stunning views of Iririki and Ifira islands. It is Vanuatu's international gateway and remains the only town on the island. Vila
is a pretty town. Clean and uncluttered, the waterfront area is so unpolluted, visitors are
stunned to look down from the seawall and see

ESPIRITU SANTO: An hours flight from Port Vila lies the island of Espiritu Santo, with its major attraction being its underwater world. The mecca for all divers, the US President Coolidge lies fully intact just off the island and remains the most accessible and largest war time wreck in the world. No stay on Santo is complete without a visit to Champagne Beach.

CURRENCY: The Vatu is the local currency, and Australian or New Zealand dollars are widely accepted. Visitors should travel to Vanuatu with either cash, travellers cheques or major credit cards - Diners, Amex, or Visa. Please be aware that some credit card charges incur two currency conversions. Banks include Westpac and ANZ and there are no currency exchange difficulties.

CLIMATE : Summer is from November to March, with an average temperature 28.C. Winter from May to October, averaging 23.C.

CLOTHING: Dress is light and informal all year round but not too brief in public areas. A sweater may be required in the cooler months May to October. Please respect local customs when visiting villages – bathing suits, shortsuits, short and skimpy clothes should not be worn.
