Voice of Travelers to Vanuatu

Explore Vanuatu through a helicopter ride

Vanuatu provides breath-taking sights. I took a helicopter ride while in the country; yes the ticket was expensive but definitely worth it. The pilots are friendly and the aerial view is like nothing you have seen before, from the lovely sea to the view of the old architecture, there is so much to see. One can cover a lot of ground quickly while in the air. I'd buy my helicopter ticket again in a heartbeat.

The best place to eat while in Vanuatu

When I booked my ticket, I didn't know that I would be visiting a culinary haven. The best place to eat out is Paradise cove restaurant. The staff are friendly and take a short time to serve clients. The Stone Grill restaurant is another great place to eat in Vanuatu. I would recommend anyone visting to try the stonegrilled beef.

The great French experience at Vanuatu

Les Alizes is a fantastic area of Vanuatu where one can have a nice French language experience. The locals speak French but away from this town one can comfortably speak English. It was great news for me that I could practise my French, and definitely added value to the price of my ticket!
