Travel Agents - Vanuatu Holiday

posted by sacah on Nov 30, 2008 travel, vanuatu,

We are all booked to spend 10 nights in Port Vila, Vanuatu over Christmas. Should be an exciting holiday. Just a note, be careful about Travel Agents, always do your own research to confirm what they say. Last time I used a Travel Agent we were going to New Zealand, they told us it snowed all year round and we could go anytime and ski. Very wrong. This time I though I'd give them another go, different travel agent mind you, about 200km apart (-:
This group of travel agents I asked about booking a holiday to Vanuatu told me everything was sold out and I had no hope of getting there over Christmas.

So I went home and found many flights with Pacific Blue and Air Vanuatu still available, and as for accommodation, everything I looked at was available in both Port Vila and on the island of Espiritu Santo.

If your looking to plan your own trip to Vanuatu, I highly recommend visiting vanuatu-hotels.vu to look through all the accommodation and to book, they were quite helpful when I had some questions and got me a better deal with the accommodation. All up it worked out better than lastminute rates for the same hotel.

I have also ordered the The Rocket Guide to Vanuatu, which I will get in 7-10days. Look forward to seeing how much useful info it has.
