# How to get to Samoa directly from Vanuatu Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
habibis 13:10 UTC 16 Jul 2008 | I have asked before if there are direct flights from Vanuatu to Samoa and it appears that is not possible. Does anyone know if you can get a boat from Vanuatu to Samoa? If so how long does it take? (We have a 2 year old son). Thanks |

Laszlo 13:52 UTC 16 Jul 2008 | As above: you must fly via Fiji. On a brighter note, this means you can have a stopover there. And just in case you start wondering, there are no passenger boats between Fiji and either Vanuatu or Samoa, either. | 2
