Vanuatu Shopping Tips by K.Knight Top 5 Page for this destination

Port Vila - Local markets.: You don't have to go far!

When the ship docks and you go ashore the docks are packet full of stalls for the passengers to walk through on your way off the pier! There is no escape from these stalls as you must walk through all of them to get to the only exit into Port Vila.

The prices start off quite high when the ship first sails because it is quite busy with tourists. A few hours after the initial "rush" the prices are reduced by a few dollars because it is very quiet and they are chasing sales before they put the prices back up to their original price a few hours befoe the ship sales because it is once again very busy!!

You can find the same items in town at the big market in the main street for a little bit cheaper though!

What to buy: Sarongs, shells, necklaces, bags, wooden carvings, t-shirts, local produce, postcards etc.
