Vanuatu is a small country made up of almost 80 islands resting in the Southern Pacific Ocean. This archipelago is known for its unique island life, beaches and water-based adventures.

Port Vila is home to many exciting destinations, such as the National Museum of Vanuatu. There are also the nearby Rainbow Botanical Gardens. If tourists want to shop, head to downtown Port Vila to find the local, bustling market. One can even take a tour to Ekasup Cultural Village, or go swimming or jet skiing nearby.

Other popular destinations in Vanuatu include Mount Yasur, located on Tanna island. This active volcano erupts frequently. But, it also provides the soil for some of the best local coffee, include that of the Mount Yasur Coffee Collaroy.

Vanuatu has a tropical climate year round with temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s. The country has a long rainy season, with high levels of precipitation every month. The average rainfall is at about 93 inches a year, but can reach as high as 160 inches in the northern islands.

Vanuatu has the highest national disaster risk. This is because the islands experience heavy rainfall, cyclones, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Serious crime is uncommon on Vanuatu. But, pick-pocketing theft and other petty crime does occur. Stay alert and try not to expose yourself to danger. Do not travel alone at night and avoid traveling alone in general.

Credit card skimming and ATM fraud are common. Take precautions and consider bringing cash with you.

Women should also traveling alone at night, or in isolated areas. While civil disorder is also rare, you should avoid protests and public demonstrations.

Avoid an Embarrassing Stop

Diarrhea can easily ruin a trip.Over 70% of travelers
will have diarrhea.

Since much Vanuatu is a chain of islands, water sports and activities are common. Whether it’s swimming, diving or snorkeling, Vanuatu is the perfect place if you want to try something new.

But, these extreme marine sports are as much dangerous as they are fun. Many activities, such as diving or snorkeling, can put you right among oceanic animals. It is best to avoid these creatures if you can.

It may seem fun to dive into these types of adventures, but a single mistake can wash out your entire vacation.

Vanuatu is a small, but fun, destination. Make sure you have everything you need to enjoy it.

  • Sunscreen – Vanuatu enjoys a tropical climate, the sun is often bright and burning. Be sure to use sunscreen, to avoid painful sunburns on your trip.
  • Insect Repellent – Vanuatu has mosquitoes and some mosquito-borne infections. Make sure you’re protected by applying repellent regularly.
  • Underwater Camera – Since many of the best sights to see are in the ocean make sure you can capture them. Bring an underwater camera to ensure that you record those beautiful memories.

All Americans visiting Vanuatu should register online with the U.S. Department of State before departure. This will inform the office of your travel plans within the country and will allow them to reach out in the case of an emergency or evacuation.

There is no embassy in Vanuatu, but the embassy in Papua New Guinea serves the area:

“Excellent Experience!!“
“I’m traveling to Vanuatu for a month and needed some information on health concerns as well as vaccinations (the first time I have needed vaccinations to travel). I decided on Passport Health for my travel clinic based on good reviews – and clearly, I chose correctly!! I had SUCH a great experience working with Corey. I did not have to wait when I got there, Corey was extremely professional, gave me important information about traveling in India, explained each potential vaccination in full (and had clearly researched where I was traveling IN India to make sure he was giving me accurate information), and I was out before a full hour had passed for the appointment (including 4 vaccinations, paperwork, information/consultation session, and questions) – and I truly feel like I’m ready for India. I felt extremely comfortable asking any questions or voicing any concerns. I have already called to recommend this clinic to two people and I left the appointment less than an hour ago! Highly recommend Passport Health!! Thank you!”
