Since Vanuatu is a nation of 80 islands, there are many ways to travel, but boats and planes are important for island hopping. From Bauerfield International Airport’s domestic terminal, you can fly with Air Vanuatu or charter a plane from a private company. Air Vanuatu has a website where you can buy tickets beforehand. While on the islands, minibusses with a "B" on the license plate don’t exactly have fixed routes, but they can take you where you need to go. Taxis with a "T" on the plate are available, but you have to negotiate the price. In Port Vila and Luganville you can adventure around on scooters, 4WDs, and self-driving cars, but the ideal island adventuring mode of transport is to rent a bicycle and go explore.
