Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Slip on style wetsuit shoes (I don't know what they are called?) would have been very useful. Would save you cutting yourself on coral/rocks and also useful for walking through waterfalls and springs.
It's steamy and humid all the time - you tend to sweat a lot and hence go through a lot of clothes. I know the general rule of travel is to pack light, but for Vanuatu I'd take as many t-shirts, shorts and pairs of underwear as possible.
Can't imagine you would ever need cold weather gear in Vanuatu. I wore jeans to dinner one night and wished I hadn't.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: All travellers should take suncreen and heavy duty insect repellant. Having said that, mosquitos were not an issue while we were there. We didn't bother with anti-malaria tablets and were fine.
