Some tips to be ready!
1. The best time to travel to Vanuatu is between April and October. It is warm and sunny during this season but less humid.
2. Given the islands are compact and easily navigated on foot, hiring a bicycle or jumping on a taxi or bus would be a better and cheaper option to travel around as compared to hiring a car.
3. Tipping and bargaining are not a part of local tradition and culture, be sure to not do that. A smile and “thank you” would do to show your gratitude towards good services.
4. Expect to pay similar prices for food and drink as you would back home in Australia.
5. You will not be able to purchase alcohol on Sundays unless you are eating in a bar or restaurant. Be sure to stock up before Sunday!
6. Make sure to pack light for the tropical weather. Dress casual and comfortable but conservative.
7. Sharks are pretty common in some of the waters. It would be best for you to seek local advice before swimming.
