vickie_oz 09:51 UTC 12 Jan 2008 | Hay Was wanting to fly to Tanna from Vila and then get the island getaway catamaran back to vila. Has anyone done the catamaran, and pre-booked. They don't have a website yet, but as we are on a tight schedule I want to prebook.

Laszlo 11:36 UTC 12 Jan 2008 | I went to Tanna by cargo/passenger ship and returned from there to Vila by catamaran (no prebooking). Neither was exactly pleasant... Frankly, if you are on a tight schedule, I'd recommend flying. The difference in fare is not that huge either. | 1

vickie_oz 20:20 UTC 12 Jan 2008 | Thanks Laszlo, if the price is no different and its not like a greek island ferry experience i will take your advice and just fly........ This is a very expensive little island.... | 3
Laszlo 23:05 UTC 12 Jan 2008 | The price difference was ca. 50 USD one-way. Two years ago, anyway. And in Vanuatu 50 USD won't last you long - you could easily spend more just hanging around waiting for the catamaran/ship to come by, instead of flying out quickly when you want to. | 4
