DON'T FORGET......

by AntMegs

Summer clothes are a must. It is very humid and you want to be comfortable, so pack prepared for it. Sandals/thongs are fine for most things, but if you are planning on doing some bush walks, then running shoes would probable be best. Insect repellant is a must, and so is sunscreen. Moisturiser and bandaids will also come in handy. Don't forget to take an underwater disposable camera. You can get them for about $10 in Australia, but you will pay about $30 for one in Port Vila. The water is clear and there are hundreds of beautiful fish so you should get some good pictures. Don't forget your patience! Locals work on "Island Time", meaning they work at their own pace and don't stick to strict times. It wouldn't be unusual to have your tour guide turn up half an hour late to take you out for they day, but don't get frustrated! Just go with the flow and before you know it, you'll be on...

Bring the basics

by sydsider

Bring a general bag to put stuff in during the day, around tours and in town. If you're planning a tour to a village, take shoes that can get muddy, cause they will. It took a good hour, a scrubbing brush, loads of hot water and alot of patience to get three pairs of sneakers clean!Other than that, pack both cold and hot weather clothing, for all times of the year, cause the weather can confuse.Depending on what your doing, a pair of comfortable slip on thongs will become your best friend. Unless you want to resemble a tomato, pack a lot of sunscreen! Trust me, it isnt the same as Australian sun, you need to apply it every hour on the hour. Its best to take maleria tablets, so you dont have to restrict where you go. Generally Port Vila is safe, but take them anyway, its not much of hassle. Bring repellent, it gets bad in the villages but i didnt really notice. Basic camera will do,...

If you are visiting in the summer don't bother taking warm clothing. It is unbelievably humid, even at night. Pack light and take a long sleeve cotton shirt just in case of a cold snap. we visited in March and yes, mosquito's were a problem. Take plenty of repellent along.

All you need as far as bags are concerned, one large duffle type bag ot suit case will carry all you need. Take with you a back pack for genral day use. We took our own fishing rods and tackle with us and the air lines where very helpfull towards us, they didn't charge us for being over weight. If taking your won fishing rods the cheapest and I reckon strogest way is to get your self a length od 4 inch plastic drain pipe and a cap and and a scew end. Paint it any color you like and you will have a instant rod tube. costs about $10 aus As far as clothes go you will not need many at all, you will live in shorts and singles during the day and a nice shirt for going out to dinner casino etc.We lived in our speedo bather's all day, there the best because they dry in two minutes and then you can slip yah shorts back on after a swim and belive me you will do plenty of swimming. Most things...

If visiting cascades waterfall you will need old shoes as you must walk through water and mud. I took malaria tablets while in Vanuatu and wore plenty of RID when out at night. I saw the most mosquitoes at cascades waterfall and at L'Houstalet restuarant. An underwater camera is very handy to have when the majority of your holiday is spent in water. You'll want to show your friends back at home the amazing coral and fish.

Light. Raincoat/umbrella. I didn't use Malaria-pills. Some might want to bring them. It's close to equator, it's humid. Camping is rarely a option.The water is fairly warm all year. There are electric breakdowns now and then. Bring cash.
