🇻🇺 Port Vila, Vanuatu Travel Guide: Essential Tips! ✈️🌴

🛬 Arrival at Bauerfield Airport (VLI) ✏️ Pro Tip: Bring a pen! You’ll need it to fill out forms on the plane. 💵 Currency Exchange: Best rates at the airport (avoid hotel exchanges!) Example: 800 AUD → 60,440 VUV / 250 FJD → 12,410 VUV Need cash for Tanna Island? Withdraw extra! (Card fees apply 💳) 📱 SIM Card: Buy a local Digicel/Vodafone SIM (1,000 VUV) ⚠️ Oceania Mobile roaming doesn’t work in Tanna! 🚕 Taxis: Fixed prices by zone (e.g., 3,000 VUV to Warwick Hotel) Staff at the exit will arrange rides – no haggling! 🏨 Warwick Le Lagon Resort ✅ Pros: Stunning ocean views 🌊 (worth every penny!) Affordable for a beachfront stay Popular with Aussie/Kiwi travelers ❌ Cons: Rooms feel like a "Chinese guesthouse" (basic but clean) 🧳 Luggage Tip: For Tanna flights (10kg checked + 5kg carry-on), store extra bags at the hotel! 🍽️ Food & Extras 🦞 Seafood Buffet Night: 10,506 VUV for 2 (incl. fees) Live dance performances! 💃 🌿 Kava Shopping: Hotel staff helped us find kava powder & souvenirs But wait! Airport duty-free has kava & cheap magnets (3 for 10.50 AUD) 🚖 Departure Tips ⚠️ Airport Transfer: Tell the front desk early – taxis take time to arrive! Driver even helped us stop for kava on the way ✨ Final Thoughts 💭 Port Vila = unforgettable beauty on a budget! Perfect stop before Tanna Island. 🌋 #Vanuatu #PortVila #IslandLife #TravelHacks #SouthPacificAdventure 🌏✨
