    • Favorite Thing: The markets are definitely worth looking at if you're in Port Vila...they sell all sorts of things from wooden carvings to vegetables to jewellery.

    The markets are easy to find...right in the main street of Vila.

    • Vanuatu - Mele Cascades
  • Mele Cascades

  • Send Photo to a Friend
    • Favorite Thing: The Mele Cascades are beautiful!! It is about a 10 minute drive from Port Vila out to the cascades - about a 200 vatu bus trip.

    There is a 1000 vatu charge on entry to the cascades and if you're lucky you will get a guide to show you around. Robert was our guide and he was excellent.

    • Favorite Thing: The Ni-Vanuatu (native) people here are fantastic...they are all very friendly and always smile or wave when they see you. The kids run along side the bus/car and yell hello too...

    • Favorite Thing: Make sure you check that you can use your bank cards in Vanuatu before you get there. We had trouble getting money out of our savings account using our credit card (which we normally use). In the end we had to take money out of our credit card account just to have some cash. I would recommend taking your debit card as well as your credit card.

    Most restaurants and resorts accept credit cards but the markets and some shops will not.

    General Tips: Coconut Plantations

    • Vanuatu - Coconut Plantation
  • Coconut Plantation
  • by CandS
  • Send Photo to a Friend
    • Favorite Thing: Everywhere you drive around Efate you will see coconut plantations. One of our guides told us that they aren't native to Vanuatu but were introduced by the British and French many years ago. The coconuts are used for so many things these days though and the local people are very happy to have coconuts on their land.
