Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. A row labelled "Featured partner" holds a paid position at the top of the table. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.
Planning what to do in Vanuatu
When is the best time to visit Vanuatu?
April-October
The dry season is cooler and far less humid. Cyclone season runs November to April, and it is genuinely disruptive - flights and resorts close, and travel insurance will not cover a cyclone named before you booked.
Worth knowing before you book in Vanuatu
- Mount Yasur active volcano tour - Access depends on the current volcanic alert level.
- SS President Coolidge wreck dive - No decompression chamber in Vanuatu - check your insurance.

How these comparisons are made
Activities listed are bookable in AUD with instant confirmation where the platform offers it. Jamie has personally booked and taken activities through the platforms recommended on this site. Editorial notes on whether something is worth pre-booking are opinions and labelled as such - a queue-skip that saves three hours in July can be pointless in February. Read the full editorial policy.
Vanuatu things to do FAQs
Do Australians need a visa for Vanuatu?
No. Australian passport holders can enter Vanuatu visa-free for up to 30 days as a tourist, with no fee and nothing to apply for in advance. You fill in a paper arrival card on the plane.
Can I use cards in Vanuatu?
In Port Vila, mostly - resorts, tour operators and larger restaurants take them, often with a 3-5% surcharge. Outside the capital and on the outer islands it is a cash economy, and ATMs are scarce. Withdraw what you need before you leave Port Vila.
