There is some risk to your safety in Vanuatu due to volcanic activity and we advise caution.
Vanuatu is in an active seismic zone and prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity. There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu located on the islands of Tanna, Ambae and Ambrym. Since December 2008, Ambrym volcano in Malampa Province has shown signs of increased volcanic activity. New Zealanders travelling to Vanuatu are advised to adhere to any restrictions and instructions issued by the local authorities. Advice should be sought from the Vanuatu Tourism Bureau before travelling to an active volcano.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Vanuatu should have comprehensive medical and travel insurance policies in place that include provision for medical evacuation by air.
New Zealanders visiting or resident in Vanuatu are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
