Hello, I'm going to reminisce about my memories in Vanuatu~~ This is Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, and the cafe is called 'Nambawan cafe'!!! I was so happy to see the wide open view while drinking coffee😆😆😆 It's like a legendary photo every time I see it!!!! Vanuatu itself has a beautiful ocean, so no matter which ocean cafe you go to, it's all legendary🥰🥰🥰🥰 It's a bit inconvenient to go to such beautiful Vanuatuㅠ You can't exchange Korean money directly to Vanuatu money, so you have to exchange it to Australian dollars to exchange it to Vanuatu money!!! (In Korea, I exchanged Korean money->Australian money, and in Australia, I exchanged Australian money->Vanuatu money) It's a bit inconvenient, but🥲 It's worth it even if it's inconvenient That natural environment!!!!! I can't forget it Location: Vanuatu nambawan cafe #vanuatu #vanuatu travel #ocean view restaurant #hidden travel destination #summer travel #cafe #sea #with nature #cafe

Hello, I'm going to write about the charms of Vanuatu. First of all, it's surrounded by the sea and consists of several islands. It's very hot and tropical because it's near the equator!! Mangoes and bananas are very delicious, and the sea is very pretty. No matter which sea you take a picture of, it's prettyㅋㅋㅋㅋ People are all friendly, and the atmosphere is very leisurely and it's great for relaxation. I ate king crab that day, and it was really big and plump. I really can't forget it. #Vanuatu #VanuatuTravel #MemoryTravel #GoodAtmosphere #TravelSickness #Sea #SouthPacific #VacationPlace #OverseasTravel #SafeTravel

Aren't the oceans of Oceania so beautiful?? Among them, Vanuatu is one of the countries that has beautiful oceans!!! Vanuatu is next to Australia and is made up of several islands. Among them, I went to Iririki Swimming Pool Resort. This resort is on an island, so you have to take a boat across the sea. Then, you have to take a vehicle that looks like the Seoul Land Elephant Train to get to the final destination, Iririki Swimming Pool. ~~~ The natural scenery on the way was so beautiful that I was in admiration mode the whole time. 😆😆😆 It was so relaxing and the swimming pool was big. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought it would be really good for modern people who are busy with their lives to take a break. I really recommend you go to Vanuatu after Corona is over. It's a place that's too good to keep to yourself. #Vanuatu #VanuatuTravel #NostalgicTravel #GoodAtmosphere #TravelSickness #SwimmingPool #Leisure #WorldTravel #SummerVacationTravel #Exotic #Sea #WithNature #SafeTravel

Vanuatu Port Vila Helicopter Have you ever imagined how to appreciate the entire Port Vila on a helicopter? The last project of the itinerary ended with a helicopter, and it can be said that it was completed. Although there is nothing to fly a small plane, it is also God's perspective, but compared with the helicopter, it feels different. ~ Helicopter, the things in the pixels displayed by the drone are instantly stereoscopic. You can see the blue waters slap on the beach, the cabins smoke, and even see the zip line project we played in the morning. The hotel that stays at night, you can touch it when you open your hand, it feels really good. ! tips: You can book your flight experience time with the helicopter office. The office is near the nambawan cafe in Port Vila. If you can't arrive in time, you must call in advance! A helicopter can go up to 3 people at a time, the whole journey experience is about 40 minutes, and it will stop on an island to see many small turtles~

Vanuatu 🇻🇺, the life of paradise. During World War II, it was a military base for the US in the South Pacific. Previously, it was a colony of the UK and France. It has many beautiful beaches and tropical scenery. Despite experiencing a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, I still can't forget my time there.

Never thought that Holiday Inn can also launch such a high-end holiday home! In Vanuatu, a country with a large number of Aboriginal naked people, few brand hotels have settled in. Holiday inn has opened only 10 sea huts here, and you can swim directly into the sea from the balcony. Adjacent to countless starfish, tropical fish and seagulls, spend a good time between sunrise and sunset.

The beautiful island of Vanuatu, the elegant environment and the magnificent natural scenery are unforgettable. Within the line of sight, full of rough seas, it feels like being at the end of the world. Moving on, the unique islands appear one after another. The vast farmland reveals a faint idyllic scenery; the beautiful beaches show the beauty of nature; the active volcanoes that violently move, emitting smoke in the center of some islands, showing people Desperate beauty.

Vanuatu has countless magical scenery, but no one is more exciting than the underwater world near Hideaway Island. The pale green postal lodge, like a huge can of soda, sits quietly below sea level. A mailbox next to it, adjacent to the coral reefs, forms a natural marine park. Golden Chaoyang The sea surface rises slowly, and the waves slap the reefs on the shore of Hideaway Island. The underwater post office next to the island is still secretly hidden in the sea. Until the gentle sun covered the sea, the frogman postman sneaked into the water and collected the star films that the tourists sent here, and began a busy day. In the hot summer days, there are always many visitors who have come to the island. In the souvenir shop next to the pier, buy special waterproof postcards, sneak into the dreamy underwater world, follow the path of the frogman postman, all the way through the colorful corals, towards the underwater post office Forward.

Going deep into the human life of Port Vila, the central market is naturally a must-go. It is the most densely populated area in the city, and no one will question its level of excitement. The market does not have a large scale, but it has a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to Sundays, there is always a dazzling array of colors, filled with busy merchants, forming a unique cultural center. The hawkers selling vegetables in the market are mostly residents living in the suburban villages of the city. Every day before sunrise, they bring their own vegetables and sell them to the market. Until the evening, carrying vegetables, all the way back to the home in the mountains. In the market, women set up a simple sales desk, grouped together in groups of three, and the dishes were sorted and streamlined into a pile, while giving a unique scream, waiting for customers.
