South Pacific Ocean - Vanuatu - nature - Elter photo
1. The unspoiled nature, rich fauna (underwater, birds) and vegetation
2. Some of
the traditional dance shows and ceremonies (though a bit of a tourist trap)
3. The way the locals live in harmony with nature
4. The Yasur Volcano on Tanna Island (still erupts once a year)
5. We sometimes enjoyed using the small, shared taxi buses instead of taxis
6. It was a good idea to rent a car to get to the Blue Lagoon
7. The country roads are reasonably well-kept (no need to rent a 4x4 if you’re only going to use the main road)
8. The snorkeling tour and diving to a shipwreck (MV Konanda) near Port Vila
9. To see a lively coming-of-age ceremony for an 11 year-old boy
1. The excessive entry fee for Champagne Beach
2. Not only expensive, but mostly bad value for money
3. Frankly, Port Vila, the capital, is not worth more than half an hour of your time
4. Dust and ash got into the zoom of our camera the moment we got to the volcano
5. Walking on sharp coral debris at some beaches
6. Taking two organized tours was a bad decision –we should have rented a car to visit these places on our own
7. Few accommodation options
8. Sorry but the aesthetic value of the old topless women at the traditional dance shows was not quite positive for me
9. Warwick Lagoon Resort was not bad, but the price is way too high for the mediocre quality you get
10. They have huge spiders - luckily, most of them are not dangerous; still they look scary.
