Vanuatu hoiliday late Oct - early Nov

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu

Hi
I am planning a trip to Vanuatu towards the end of October - early November with my partner for 10 days. I am concerned about the weather though (apparently wet season is Nov - Jan). Has anyone been during this time - we love the sun, snorkelling and diving and would hate to be disappointed by the weather.
Thanks!

I was in Vanuatu in Nov-Dec, and had perfectly fine weather for a month and a half. Sure there were occasional rains, but nothing more than is normal in the tropics.
Fiji, and especially Samoa, were much rainier at that time of the year.

In October and November it typically rains about every third day. Last November Vila had an amazing 9 days in a row without rain. Even if there is rain it is usually in the afternoons. I suggest you get an early start to do whatever you want to do for the day and aim to be back at your hotel by 2 pm.

Most mornings are sunny.
