Hello!

I loved Pentecost!

If you have the chance to experience nagol, don't hesitate. It is really a mind-blowing experience.
When I visited in early april last year, I had one day of wind and heavy rain. (out of 5) Don,t know how it will be in october. (or next april/mai/june for that matter)

Hi,

I have just been working in North Pentecost and have been stranded for 5 days in very bad rain and wind. North Vanuatu has had bad weather. I would wait until June to come to Pentecost as the weather is the best. The Nagol is something you shouldn't miss as its a cutural experience you'll never see anywhere else. Its fantastic.

Cheers
Andrew

You should definitely go to Pentecost you can! Its a rugged but beautiful island and the Nagol is magnificent!
