WarningMost visits to Vanuatu are trouble-free.
On 4 March 2007 mob violence broke out in the capital Port Vila resulting in three fatalities. The situation is now calm and the State of Emergency has been lifted. However, you should continue to exercise caution and avoid demonstrations and large crowds of people. You should monitor the media for the latest information.
Vanuatu lies on the Pacific ’Ring of Fire’ and regularly experiences seismic and volcanic activity. Since Mount Manaro became active in November 2005, Vanuatu has recorded approximately 40 earthquakes of magnitudes between 4.0 and 6.5 across the archipelago since November 2005.
Travelers are advised to exercise caution when considering visiting active volcanoes on any of the islands in the Vanuatu archipelago; check with the Vanuatu tourist office for latest reports on volcanic activity before traveling to the island.
Travelers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners. Violent crime is increasing and travelers should avoid visiting isolated locations alone.
The tropical cyclone season in Vanuatu normally runs from November to April.
