Getting there

The seclusion and charm of Nambwarangiut comes partly from the fact that the village is not well-connected by roads. However, transport to Nambwarangiut can be arranged by speedboat from Sara Airport or other parts of Pentecost, which is very affordable for those travelling in a group.

Regular cargo ships travelling along the coast of Pentecost stop at Nambwarangiut. Trekking into the village is also possible, although it would be advisable to arrange a guide.

Costs

Accommodation at Bangaware Bungalows costs 1500 vatu per person per night. Additional fees may apply for tours and activities.
