Cheap Flights To Vanuatu From New Zealand

Vanuatu's location out between the Coral Sea and the isles of the South Pacific make cities like Auckland and Wellington prime departure points for off-the-beaten-track vacations to this paradise of white-sand bays and smoking volcanos. It's actually possible to do the hop direct in just over three hours, while other cheap flights to Vanuatu from New Zealand involve a stopover (usually in Australia) to complete the trip in 15-20 hours. Deals will jet you into the island capital of Port Vila. That's a hubbub of fish markets and hotel resorts, but is also the gateway to the adventure mecca of Tanna (think mountain hikes and lush rainforest) or the mysterious tribal settlements of long-lost Malakula.
