Aore Island

Luganville


Across the Segond Channel, Aore island is easily reached on the free resort ferry. There's not much regular transport on the island so you're limited to short walks and hanging out at the resort for a few hours (free if you buy lunch). The ferry departs Phillips Wharf at 8am, 11.30am and 2.30pm, returning at 11am, 1.30pm and 4pm.
