# Vanuatu in Nov - Dec Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu
bszlezak 07:12 UTC 11 Mar 2013 | looking to travel to Vanuatu/ New Caledonia after uni this year so cant go till NOV during the wet season.. Is it worth going then, despite the non desirable weather? I will be mainly going for diving, hiking and other outdoor adventures. Advice would be great :) THANKS!! |
ozziegiraffe 10:58 UTC 12 Mar 2013 | Generally in the wet season in the tropics, it rains very heavily in the afternoon, but most mornings are fine. This is a big generalisation, as if there is a cyclone in the area, it will be wet all the time, and the 2012-3 summer has been unusually wet. However, island countries have many micro-climates, and there will be some areas that will be relatively dry. I know more sppecifically about Solomon Islands, but Vanuatu is very similar. | 1

bszlezak 09:51 UTC 13 Mar 2013 | so its worth taking advantage of cheap fights then? I imagine it'd still be beautiful regardless | 3
