Hotels with boat transfers in Vanuatu
Efate contains Port Vila and several coastal accommodation areas. Espiritu Santo pairs an arrival base around Luganville with outings to blue holes and the coast. Tanna adds a separate island chapter. For every stop, distinguish the property’s actual setting from the places shown in photographs of excursions that might be offered from it.
Connect your arrival with the boat
A property’s boat transfer may be compulsory and charged separately. Confirm the total for everyone travelling and the arrangements for arriving outside the schedule.

The setting in Vanuatu
Locally run bungalows can suit a visit centred on an island and its communities, but facilities should be clarified before booking. Ask about the room, bathroom arrangements and available meals. Include planned outings and admission charges in the budget too, since visiting some natural sites involves a separate payment from your accommodation costs.
For a locally run bungalow, request written details of bathroom facilities, electricity and meals before choosing your stay.
