Vanuatu 09-2012/ PNG or Solomon 12-2012 - Anyone interested in joining me?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu

I am planning a trip to Vanuatu between September 16 - September 28, 2012.

I am also thinking about a trip to PNG or Solomon Islands this coming December.

Regarding Vanuatu this September, I am keen on visiting Port vila - Tanna - Espiritu Santo - Malekula - and Ambrym.

Really more than open to traveling with other cool people, who can do it backpacking style :). So if you are also looking for someone to share the amazing experience with, just like I am, feel free to contact me.

December is probably the most difficult month to travel in Solomon Islands. Not only is it the beginning of the wet season, but it is also Summer holidays, and most of the cheap transport and accommodation options are full of locals going home for Christmas.
The same is probably true of Vanuatu and PNG.

Thank you for your reply.
I know that locals will be going home in Dec but my summer vacation is around that time, I only have 2 - 3 weeks to travel before going home for the Lunar new year, so I have no other choice.
Btw, Vanuatu this September will be great i think :)
