A great way to see what makes Vanuatu tick is to learn about the traditional villages of Port Vila. Only limited archaeological information is available to define Vanuatu's Melanesian anthropology, so most of the story you'll hear today begins with Vanuatu's chaotic British and French colonial history from when it was known as the New Hebrides. The next step was Independence in 1980 and, today, you will encounter the Port Vila life of the 21st century at the bustling Central Market and the Mahitahi Handicraft Market.
Stops en route include various scenic lookouts, Parliament House, the Council of Chiefs, Erakor Wharf, Independence Park, and the market houses.
Please note:
Some venues, such as markets or cultural sites, may be closed on special occasions. Tour sequence may vary. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
