Life-changing adventures - and a slice of local culture - are waiting in island hideaways.
A visit to the islands of Vanuatu has everything you d expect of a Pacific holiday – blue seas and gorgeous white sandy beaches.
At the same time it offers so much more. From its world-famous scuba diving sites, to unique performances of water music, kayak trips through rainforests and a chance to experience the local culture up-close in village markets, this is a holiday with a difference.
The small island nation - its capital Port Vila is on the island of Efate - lies around 800km west of Fiji and is made up of 13 principal and many smaller islands. For Kiwis looking for an escape to the sun, Vanuatu offers an unexpected but exciting holiday destination.
