A quiet gateway to Vanuatu's serene central Shefa heartland

Ground Transport
  • Private vehicle pickup arranged locally
  • Shared minibus or bush taxi toward Port Vila
  • Walking access to Forari village

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight schedule directly with the operating carrier, as services are infrequent and subject to change.
  • Arrive early as check-in procedures at small Vanuatu airstrips can be informal but punctual.
  • Carry sufficient local currency (Vatu) as card facilities are not available in the area.
  • Arrange ground transport in advance, as there are no formal taxi services at the airstrip.
