Whether you are looking for a holiday of culture, adventure and relaxation or simply a long weekend away, Vanuatu has it all. Port Vila, on the main island of Efate is where you will start your holiday and from here you can explore one or more of Vanuatu’s 83 islands.
Frequently Asked Questions
First-time visitors usually do well with a Port Vila short stay or a week that adds one other island. Four nights in Port Vila covers a harbour cruise, a round-island tour and markets without rushing. If you have a week or more, add Santo for blue holes and wrecks or Tanna for Mount Yasur. Start on Efate, then take a domestic flight.
The collection ranges from a long weekend in Port Vila to two-week island hops, plus focused trips for couples, families, culture, reefs, hiking and budget travel. Some stay on one island; others need domestic flights and bungalow bookings. Pace is the main difference: a four-night Vila stay is easy, while Malekula hiking or Mount Tabwemasana is demanding. Pick the trip that matches your energy, not just the highlights.
Treat them as a starting shape, not a locked timetable. Swap a rest day, drop a tour, or stay longer on an island you like. Book domestic flights and outer-island bungalows first, then leave day tours until you arrive if you want flexibility. Weather and flight changes are normal, so keep a spare half-day between islands.
