Discovering Vanuatu is a rare experience. It is discovering the untouched paradise of the South Pacific. A sprinkling of 83 tropical islands from volcanic beginnings, that lie peacefully in the South Pacific Ocean. Sometimes called the 'timeless islands', Vanuatu is a land that is never raced, never hurried - a gentle, peaceful place where the people and visitors alike can simply take the time to enjoy how blessed it has been by nature.

Vanuatu is a discovery full of surprises. Like stunning topical rainforests that cover landscapes, breathtaking jungle waterfalls and hot springs, incredible coral reefs and crystal clear waters teeming with exotic marine life.

If you have travelled all over the world it would be hard to find a more beautiful place than Vanuatu. Because to see Vanuatu is to be spoiled by a paradise that is simply breathtaking.

Vanuatu is a "Y" shaped chain of 83 islands lying 2,500km northeast of Sydney, Australia, 2,000km north of Auckland, New Zealand and 800km east of Nadi, Fiji. The total land mass is around 13,000 sq km. The islands range in topography from towering volcanic cones to others covered in dense rainforest to yet others which are raised coral islands with wide beaches and deep natural harbours.

You think Vanuatu's beaches are unbeatable on one island until you reach the next. Divers are delighted at the clear waters, coral reefs and shipwrecks; vulcanologists go wild for its many smoking peaks; and naturalists lust after its untouched forests, reefs and extravagant bird life.

LOCATION:
The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. The archipelago is located some 1,750 km east of Australia, 500 km north-east of New Caledonia, west of Fiji and south of the Solomon Islands. It was named New Hebrides during its colonial period.
Vanuatu is only 2.5 hours flying time North East of Brisbane and 3.5 hours from Sydney, Australia.

CLIMATE:
Vanuatu is at its glorious best in the dry season from May to October. Expect clear, warm days with an average temperature of 23°C (73°F). For walking or trekking, narrow it down to the cold season, June to August, when water temperatures drop to 21°C and the air is cooler - not the best time to visit if you're hoping to laze around on a beach. Summer is the wet season and brings warmer weather but it can be unpleasantly steamy, with the heaviest rains in January.
