Escape to Vanuatu
Review of Vanuatu (South Pacific Islands) by quan

Advantages: Lush rainforests, turquoise waters
Disadvantages: Numerous earth tremors

I have been to several places within the Vanuatu Islands whilst on a cruise when we lived in Australia. From memory Tanna Island is where they have an active volcano and the cruise went past at night as it have been active for over three years. Sods law would have it that the night we sailed past there was thick fog! by TheWizardsSleeve

The Islands of Perpetual Sunday
Review of Independent Samoa (South Pacific Islands) by cladach29

Advantages: Pristine rainforest and beaches, amazing diving, welcoming locals
Disadvantages: Not for those who cannot make their own entertainment

Sitting on a roof-top veranda and gazing out towards the reef where punishing rips and currents swirl, I thought how fortunate I had been to arrive in Samoa on a comfortable airliner instead of by the rickety boats made of palm trees used by the first Pol ... Read review

You are truely blessed to have had such experiences. My imagination re-created so much from your wonderful review, but I bet it's not a patch on the real thing. I really liked the way you personalised it as well. Some people just give the information which is great, but it's also nice to read about places from the traveller's point of view too. Great stuff and gorgeous pictures too - LSxx by lonelysoul

Getting hot and steamy in Vanuatu
Review of Vanuatu (South Pacific Islands) by casnz

Advantages: White sandy beaches, crystal clear ocean, coral reefs and colourful tropical fish, coconut palms, the list could go on forever.
Disadvantages: humidity from hell in the wet season

When the opportunity to visit Vanuatu arose I jumped at it. I was aware that it was the rainy season and it would be hot and humid ( I don't do hot and humid very well) but the timing couldn't be helped as my husband was attending a seminar. Nothing I ... Read review

Sound great, excellent review by ZoltanLouis
Fantastic review! I know you said you went in the wet season but what month was that and did it rain a lot? I am thinking of going in December but not good in the hot and humid either so might have to choose somewhere else! xx by Allyalcock
