Hey travellers! Thank you so much for stopping by our youtube channel. On this
edition we're checking out Vanuatu.
So our flight left from Brisbane to Port Vila and the flight took around three
hours or so. So there's around 80 islands in Vanuatu. There are three main ones.
One is Tanna, one is Efate. And the other one is Santo. So we flew to a Efate.
The island is a hundred and forty kilometres around, so you can pretty much do it in one day.
It costs seventy dollars to hire car per day that includes insurance. They drive on
the right hand side so opposite to Australia. You do have to be careful of the
potholes because they are everywhere!
On one of the day we went over to the eastern side of the island we checked
out Blue Lagoon. Thank you so much pretty. Oh, it's so pretty. So that's where you can
swing off of a rope and into the gorgeous Blue Lagoon.
Just next to it is Eton Beach.
We just happened to stumble across this amazing beach and literally no one is here.
It's so stunning we just took some drone footage.
We also went over to the west part of the island.
So in the spot that we're in, you're able to get lunch, you can use all the
equipment here for free.
So I'm currently on a stand-up paddleboard but they have equipment to
go snorkelling. There are so many starfish.
We were actually recommended this place by some people that we met yesterday on the
other side of the island.
The people who own this place are from Australia and they just wanted to get
away they moved here a couple of years ago.
We made our way up to the northern part of the island.
The languages they speak in Vanuatu, is there native language, French and English
but we found most people spoke english. So, along the way when you're
driving, if you're getting a little bit hungry make sure you stop by and help some of the
locals. Thank you, see you next time! The locals are just really really friendly.
So when you get there, you'll notice it is very third-world. We're not talking like
swanky hotels everywhere. You'll notice they have an awesome fruit and veg market.
You can see all the locals just sitting on the ground and selling the fruit and veg.
Everything that you buy here is organic. Everything you peel open tastes
incredible. As soon as you leave the airport don't worry about an Uber, don't
worry about a taxi. When you see the fans vans that have
the number plates starting with B, that's how you know that it's a bus and you
just give the drive about 300 in coins. So 300 per person will pretty much get
you into the center of town or to the front door of your hotel. We were staying
at the Ramada Resort and Spa. It was around $1,000 to stay there for
five nights. I truly recommend it. A beautiful buffet breakfast included. You can get up
every morning you can go for a kayak, a stand up paddleboard and it's all
entirely free.
Check out the starfish in the water. And they've also just built and
renovated some of the new waterfront rooms there so it's absolutely gorgeous.
We felt like we were in a paradise.
