Vanuatu comprises 83 coral and volcanic islands which lie in the very heart of the South Pacific, just two and a half hours flying from Brisbane on Australia's east coast and one hour ahead of Australian EST. The main islands with tourist facilities are Efate, Espiritu Santo, Tanna, Malekula, Ambrym and Epi..
The capital Port Vila, located on Efate Island is a central and lively hub. With interesting historical influences, Port Vila is a melting pot of Ni Vanuatu, French, English and Chinese shops and restaurants. The markets are the life of the town with locals and tourists alike shopping for a vast array of local produce.
From Port Vila it is easy to travel around the outer islands as Air Vanuatu operates a fleet of ATR42-300 series, three Twin Otters and Two Islanders between Port Vila and the outer islands of the Vanuatu archipelago.
