There are many travel options for guests to Vanuatu. You can choose to travel by air, water or land.

Air – Domestic flights are provided by Vanair which offers scheduled flights to 29 destinations within the archipelago. Unity Airlines and Air Club Vila offer the option of charter flights.

Departure tax is usually included in airfares.

Water – There are infrequent ferries operating from Port Vila and Espiritu Santo to the northern and southern islands. Boat charters are also available.

Road – Visitors can travel by bus, taxi or hire a car. Buses are frequent and as most do not have a fixed timetable, the best way to catch a bus is to flag one down and tell the driver where you would like to go.

There are many taxis which are all metered, but a fixed rate may be agreed upon.

Those who wish to travel by private car can hire one from operators in Port Vila. Most will have a range of vehicles including 4WD and jeeps.

Traffic drives on the right hand side of the road and most roads are either compacted coral or dirt tracks. An international driving licence is not needed, but you must have held your licence for at least a year.
