Product Description

The wonders of Vanuatu and New Caledonia are combined in one book here for the first time. Laze on New Caledonia's beaches or trek through Vanuatu's jungles; climb high on active volcanoes or dive below to coral gardens and WWII shipwrecks. Our authors have checked out all the resorts, hostels and traditional homestays; they've surfed the breaks and chilled out in kava bars - leaving you free to just enjoy yourself.

o COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE of all the islands and regions, from the total isolation of Vanuatu's Banks islands to the bustle and savoir faire of New Caledonia's Noumea
o CANDID REVIEWS - find out what our author thought of your resort before you book your stay
o TWO DIVING CHAPTERS - our Pacific scuba specialist reveals rarely-seen coral reefs and historic WWII shipwrecks
o ORDER KAVA OR UN CAFE with our easy-to-use language chapter

I used this guide for travel in New Caledonia, so my comments don't apply to the Vanuatu section.

I was very disappointed in the quality of information presented in this "completely" rewritten edition. Most historical, political, or other contextualizing information is now gone (I suppose due to space constraints?). Some descriptions were oddly incomplete. For instance, the guide did not specifiy how long a certain hike might take, or how far you would need to walk in what sort of conditions.

Since this edition is both a guide on Vanuatu and on New Caledonia, the index and other shared sections of the book are extremely confusing to use. It was not always clear which country a particular entry or health comment was talking about.

However, this edition contains updated telephone contacts and other new information that is simply not available elsewhere. My recommendation is to buy both this AND the previous New Caledonia edition.
