Kite surfing in Vanuatu

If you really enjoy surfing or would like to try something new, kite surfing is also available at many resorts and beach locations. If gear is not readily provided or if you are unsure about whether or not gear will be made available, it is best to be prepared to bring your own if you have it.

Although one of the most popular islands because it is the location of the capital, Port Vila, Efate is not the only island where you can catch a wave in Vanuatu.
