Let's discuss transportation in Fiji and Vanuatu. In Fiji, the main island, Viti Levu, has a reasonably well-connected road network. You can rent a car, though be mindful of potholes. Public transport, primarily buses, is affordable and offers a glimpse into local life, but expect crowds and potentially limited comfort. Inter-island travel relies on ferries, which are reliable but not fast.
Vanuatu presents a different picture. The road network is less developed; four-wheel drive is highly recommended. Public transport consists mainly of minivans, operating on a less formal schedule. Inter-island ferries are less frequent than in Fiji, and local boats are sometimes necessary, adding to the adventure.
So, Fiji offers more convenience and ease of travel, while Vanuatu provides a more rugged and adventurous experience.
Precisely. Fiji is reliable; Vanuatu is a challenge. Choose your adventure wisely.
