Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Vanuatu visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel.

Went for our solo travel and everything from the Port Vila itinerary to the return was handled with care. The hotels were exactly the category promised. Will book our next trip with them too.

Port Vila was our first big trip and Explera made it stress-free — visa guidance, forex tips, a sensible day plan and a driver who knew the area. Came back with amazing memories and zero complaints.

★★★★
Fantastic solo travel. The Port Vila package was customised to our dates and budget, the 4★ hotel + cruise cabin were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.
