Practical Tips:

  1. Adapt your equipment to each activity
    • Snorkelling: Make sure to bring a well-fitted mask, a snorkel, and comfortable fins. If you don’t have your own gear, check in advance where you can rent equipment.
    • Surfing at Pango: If you're a beginner, book a surfing lesson with a local surf school. They will provide all the necessary equipment, including a board suited to your level.
    • Sun protection: Don’t forget water-resistant sunscreen, as you’ll spend long hours under the tropical sun.

  2. Respect marine wildlife and nature
    • When snorkeling or diving, be careful not to touch the corals or disturb marine life. If you're lucky enough to encounter dugongs or turtles, observe them from a distance without causing any disturbance.

  3. Optimise your transport
    • Local transport: It's recommended to book transfers in advance, especially for routes like the ferry to Aore Island or domestic flights to Espiritu Santo. This will save time and help avoid any inconveniences.
    • Guided tours: If possible, hire local guides for cultural visits and water activities. This will give you a deeper understanding of Vanuatu’s culture and ensure more authentic experiences.

  4. Consider the weather
    • The tropical climate can be unpredictable. Always carry a lightweight raincoat and check the weather forecast before any water activities to avoid surprises at sea.

  5. Anticipate site access fees
    • Most tourist sites in Vanuatu require an entrance fee ranging from 200VT to 2000VT per person depending on the location. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to pay by card at most of these sites, so plan ahead by carrying small amounts of cash.
