Island Fun Facts

Vanuatu is a vibrant, fun destination, but leave behind your preconceived ideas; our roads are like a new safari every day, no rules, no idea and very little bitumen.

The maximum driving speed is 80km per hour, but around town the speed limit is 50 kms, this may be low kms but when trying to avoid pot holes , children, women with fresh produce balancing precariously on their heads and the occasional village dog , you will be happy you have rented a suitable and safe vehicle.

Driving is on the right hand side but DO NOT be concerned about this, we have signs to assist inside the vehicle and the main rule is remember, driver in the middle.

Once you have navigated your way through the colorful city centre and are out on the roads, it becomes ever so laid-back.

The trip around the island is 136kms but there is so much to do that it really cannot be appreciated in only one day.
