Frequently Asked Questions
Aniwa is a small coral island with a turquoise lagoon and very few visitor services compared with Efate. There is no Port Vila-style dining or tour desk. It is a swim-and-village island, reached only if you have already committed to Tafea travel.
Santo offers wrecks, blue holes, hiking and a town base in Luganville. Aniwa's offering is simpler: a shallow turquoise lagoon, swimming and a quiet community with few visitor services. Choose Aniwa for water and calm, not for a week of varied activities or WWII sites.
Tanna is the practical pairing, as the main Tafea hub with more flights and places to stay. Aneityum can work if you are already island-hopping the south and want another water-focused island. Do not try to see Aniwa as a side trip from Efate without planning the extra flights.
Choose Aniwa for its lagoon. The island is small, coral-fringed and made for swimming in clear, shallow water rather than for volcanoes, wrecks or towns. It is a specialist stop for travellers who want that one landscape and are willing to travel farther south to reach it.
