Vanuatu Travel Guide

Getting Around

Air service: air services are operated by Vanair, a subsidiary of Air Vanuatu Ltd. It offers regular services to 29 destinations within the archipelago. Charter flights are provided by Unity Airlines and Air Club Vila.

Travellers with an international ticket issued outside of Vanuatu are eligible for a 20 per cent reduction off Vanair’s regular ticket prices. The airline also offers the Vanuatu Pass which entitles holders to four flights to any destination for one fixed price.

Bus: buses are the cheapest way to get around the island. Timetables and routes are not fixed, as the buses take you where you want to go. Just hail one down when you see it, get on board and enjoy the ride.

Ferry: the Island Gateway is a fast inter-island catamaran seating 58 passengers, which operates out of Port Vila to Espiritu Santo and calls at other islands on the way. Other ferries are infrequent and it’s best to enquire directly at the port. Website www.islandgateway.info
