Best time to go
The best time to visit Vanuatu is from May to October, offering cooler and drier weather perfect for outdoor adventures. For cultural enthusiasts, April to June is ideal to witness the Naghol land diving. The wet season from November to April brings lush landscapes but also higher humidity and cyclone risks.
Time difference
New Zealand is 3 hours ahead of Vanuatu.

Marisa"We had only thought of going to Rarotonga for a holiday, but when we encountered difficulties with accommodation, it was Chevonne who suggested Vanuatu as an alternative destination. Not something we had thought about, but I think it's going to be excellent."

Nice to meet you! I love traveling with my husband, whether it's hiking the Camino de Santiago, biking through Latvia, or relaxing on beach holidays in places like Greece and Fiji. Recent highlights include cruising Norway and exploring Puglia, Italy—though I’m always guilty of overpacking!
