Vanuatu - Credit card or Cash?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi all,

I'm flying out to Vanuatu from Sydney this Saturday. I hope the weather will be pleasant for snorkeling and possibly scuba diving. I'll be there for 8 days and I'm budgeting about $120 per day for three of us. Do you think I should bring cash only, mostly cash or half crash half on credit card?

Also, do you think that my budget is reasonable? we're looking at abit of snorkeling, shopping for souvernirs, go on one or two tours (villages and glass bottom) and eating out every night (not posh or anything, just cheap and decent food).

All opinions and feedbacks are much appreciated.

Take cash or card, it hardly matters.
Either way, get Vatu once in Vila.

Your budget should be enough.
Just choose your accomodation accordingly.

If you're looking for a credit card, watch out for international fees.
