Efate northern outer islands

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu

Does anybody have an opinion about spending time on the islands that sit off of north Efate - Nguna, Pele and Emao?

Well, if you can't visit the outer islands further away, these are bound to be more interesting than just staying in Vila!

Some inspiring info here and here.

My wife & I stayed at Nakie Womens Guesthouse in Taloa, Nguna, last year, & would recommend it for 2 or 3 days. Much nicer than Vila. The women who run the guesthouse are very warm & friendly. Food was basic but good. The village is beautiful. The chief's Nakamal is used every Monday night, it is a unique structure well worth seeing. A great chill-out spot.

If you check the FAQ at the top of the page I think you find a post by Mandja about her visit to Nguna which might help you decide.
