Vanuatu is a small country made up of almost 80 islands resting in the Southern Pacific Ocean. This archipelago is known for its unique island life, beaches and water-based adventures.

Port Vila is home to many exciting destinations, such as the National Museum of Vanuatu. There are also the nearby Rainbow Botanical Gardens. If tourists want to shop, head to downtown Port Vila to find the local, bustling market. One can even take a tour to Ekasup Cultural Village, or go swimming or jetskiing nearby.

Other popular destinations in Vanuatu include Mount Yasur, located on Tanna island. This active volcano erupts frequently. But, it also provides the soil for some of the best local coffee, include that of the Mount Yasur Coffee Collaroy.

If anyone is looking for a unique culture, Vanuatu is exactly what they are looking for.

What Is The Climate Like In Vanuatu?

Vanuatu has a tropical climate year round with temperatures in the 20’s. The country has a long rainy season, with high levels of precipitation every month. The average rainfall is at about 240 centimeters a year, but can reach as high as 400 centimeters in the northern islands.

Vanuatu has the highest national disaster risk. This is because the islands experience heavy rainfall, cyclones, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

How Safe Is Vanuatu?

Serious crime is uncommon on Vanuatu. But, pickpocketing theft and other petty crime does occur. Stay alert and try not to expose yourself to danger. Do not travel alone at night and avoid travelling alone in general.

Credit card skimming and ATM fraud are common. Take precautions and consider bringing cash with you.

Women should also travelling alone at night, or in isolated areas. While civil disorder is also rare, you should avoid protests and public demonstrations.

 

Keeping Afloat While In Vanuatu

Since much Vanuatu is a chain of islands, water sports and activities are common. Whether it’s swimming, diving or snorkeling, Vanuatu is the perfect place if you want to try something new.

But, these extreme marine sports are as much dangerous as they are fun. Many activities, such as diving or snorkeling, can put you right among oceanic animals. It is best to avoid these creatures if you can.

It may seem fun to dive into these types of adventures, but a single mistake can wash out your entire vacation.

What Should I Pack for Vanuatu?

Vanuatu is a small, but fun, destination. Make sure you have everything you need to enjoy it.

  • Sunscreen – Vanuatu enjoys a tropical climate, the sun is often bright and burning. Be sure to use sunscreen, to avoid painful sunburns on your trip.
  • Insect Repellent – Vanuatu has mosquitoes and some mosquito-borne infections. Make sure you’re protected by applying repellent regularly.
  • Underwater Camera – Since many of the best sights to see are in the ocean make sure you can capture them. Bring an underwater camera to ensure that you record those beautiful memories.
