Tropical islands, sandy beaches, lush vegetation and incredible sea life are only a few reasons to have your holiday in Vanuatu.

Climate & When to go

Vanuatu's climate varies from wet tropical in the north (over 4000mm of rainfall a year) to subtropical in the south (less than 2000mm), with dry rain-shadow areas in between.

For walking, the cooler period from June to August is better. Speaking of cool, it's advisable to take some warm clothing yearround. November to April is the wet season, with higher temperatures, heavier rains, and mosquitoes. December to March is cyclone time. Vanuatu averages 2.5 cyclones a year.

What to do
Fishing
Place to go: Port Vila Ocean Blue, Wild Blue.

Vanuatu's waters, state-of-the-art boats and tackle, and the choices of game, reef and remoteisland fishing, half or full-day, and live-aboard means your time on the deep blue will be memorable. Warm currents attract marlin, sailfish, wahoo and dogtooth tuna; operators tag and release their catch, unless they give it to a village.

Diving

As you might imagine, diving is one of the largest attractions in the area. You'll find numerous dive sites, from coral reefs to WWII wrecks and much more to explore. Place to go: Efate, Santo.
