Outdoor, Sport shopping in Pacific

  1. A

    Tour Shop

    Ownership of the land is the structure of Vanuatu society. Everything you touch, cycle over or swim in is owned by somebody. The Tour Shop has camping gear for hire, and Reza will give you a map of places you can camp - pay the owner when you arrive. The equipment can be taken to the outer islands, where many bungalow owners allow camping, and Tanna has Boita's Camping Ground.
