When to go Vanuatu’s climate varies from north to south, with much heavier rainfalls in the more tropical northern regions. July to October provides dryer and cooler weather, and this is when Vanuatu really comes to life. Warm clothing is advised, as temperatures drop below 12 degrees Celsius on winter evenings.


Time Vanuatu is 1 hour ahead of AEST.

Currency Vanuatu’s official currency is the vatu (VUV), but Australian dollars are widely accepted. Travellers’ cheques can be cashed at large hotels and banks.

Language French, English and Bislama are the three official languages. Try these French phrases: Hello (bonjour) and thank you (merci). Try these Bislama phrases: Hello (alo) and goodbye (tata).

Mt Tukosmera

• V isit Mt Yasur, one of the world’s most accessible, active volcanoes! Relatively stable, there is usually some degree of activity daily, best viewed at dusk. It is believed that Captain Cook discovered Tanna after seeing the glow in the sky from Mt Yasur. • Louniel Beach is fascinating with its black powder sand, coconut and pandanus plantations, and striking views of the smoking Mt Yasur volcano. • Experience the culture here that hasn’t changed in centuries. See Black Magic still performed by tribes in the highlands, or join in the celebrations of the unique John Frum cult each Friday. • Horse riding is a popular activity on the island of Tanna. There are a number of excellent rides, including some that go through the forest. • For the adventurous there’s plenty on offer, with stunning blue holes, underwater caves, some of the best coral in the South Pacific, and untouched waterfalls. You can also sandboard down the side of a volcano!

When to go The best time to make a visit to New Caledonia really depends on your ideal holiday activities. If lazy days spent on the beach is what you are after, then the warmer months between November and March are best. The cooler months between June and October will provide dryer weather for those wanting to explore any of the hiking trails.


Time New Caledonia is 1 hour ahead of AEST.

Currency New Caledonia uses the French pacific franc (XPF or CFP). Travellers’ cheques in XPF don’t exist. Visitors to New Caledonia are advised to take some local currency, New Zealand, Australian or US dollar travellers’ cheques or international credit cards.

Language French is New Caledonia’s official language, but English is widely spoken. The Kanak people of New Caledonia speak 28 different dialects. Each of the Loyalty Islands has its own language.

AGENCY: Infinity Holidays puts together holiday packages but is not itself a transport, tour, event or accommodation provider: it acts only as an agent for those service providers. It is therefore important for you to obtain and read the service providers’ terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package.

You will be notified at the time of your reservation if any additional deposit requirements apply. All deposits are non-refundable for changes of mind or cancellations by you (subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law). Full payment for your holiday package is required at least 30 days prior to departure, or by the sale end date or payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earliest. If you do not pay us the deposit or your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Bookings made within 30 days of departure will only be accepted if full payment is received by Infinity Holidays at the time of reservation. The price of your holiday may change at any time until the full payment is received and airline tickets are issued. Tickets will be issued within one business day of receiving full payment. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or if there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the holiday and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers. OUR CANCELLATION FEES: Subject to your refund and remedy rights under the Australian Consumer Law, the following fees apply if we change or cancel a booking at your request. International: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be $165 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking, and any airline cancellation fees on the air portion. Domestic: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be $55 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking. Domestic airfares are non-refundable. AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/ reissue fee. SUPPLIER CHANGE & CANCELLATION FEES: Cancelled bookings may also incur supplier fees, which can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Supplier fees may also apply where a booking is changed and when tickets or documents are re-issued. Where we incur any liability for a supplier cancellation fee for any booking which you change or cancel, you agree to indemnify us for the amount of that fee. Where you seek a refund for a cancelled booking for which payment has been made to the supplier, we will not provide a refund to you until we receive the funds from that supplier. REFUNDS: Subject to your refund and remedy rights under the Australian Consumer Law, no refund is available for cancellations after the holiday package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised. Selected holiday packages consist of a combined airfare and land/tour component which cannot be sold and subsequently cancelled and/ or refunded separately. Requests for refunds received more than six months after the departure date for travel will not be accepted. NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE OF HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point (as set out in the brochure). The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense. PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions featured in this brochure are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. Tours may not operate on certain dates,

and durations and departure times are approximate only. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service. MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and are an indication only, they may not necessarily reflect actual routings, hotel and attraction locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas, but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators. CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS: The prices shown are for payment by cash. Credit card surcharges of 1.98% for Visa and MasterCard, 2.97% for American Express, and 3% for Diner’s Club will apply when paying by credit card. PRIVACY POLICY: We are committed to protecting your personal information and agree to handle your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is available online at www.infinityholidays. com.au/conditions/privacy-policy or ask your travel consultant for details. By providing personal information to us, you agree that our Privacy Policy will apply to how we handle your personal information, and you consent to us collecting, using and disclosing your personal information as detailed in our Privacy Policy. In particular, you agree that in certain circumstances (such as where you request us to book international travel for you), we are permitted to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients. Such recipients may include the overseas travel service providers (e.g. airlines, accommodation or tour providers) with whom you make a booking. These travel service providers will in most cases receive your personal information in the country in which they will provide the services to you or in which their business is based. We may also disclose your personal information to our overseas-related entities and to service providers who perform services for us within and outside of Australia. Generally, we will only disclose your personal information to these persons in connection with facilitation of your travel booking and/ or to enable the performance of administrative and technical services by them on our behalf. Where we disclose your personal information to any person (including all overseas recipients), you agree that we will not be required to ensure that person’s compliance with Australian privacy laws or otherwise be accountable for how they handle your personal information. When used above, ‘disclose’ includes to transfer, share, send, or otherwise make available or accessible to another person or entity. BAGGAGE: Carriers publish baggage allowances applicable for carriage over their own services. Allowances include cabin baggage and checked baggage. These allowances tend to be based on a weight allowance or a piece system. We recommend you check your baggage allowance carefully, as you may incur a charge for the carriage of baggage in excess of their free baggage allowance. Carriers also publish baggage safety notices, which detail items that cannot be carried or can only be carried in checked baggage. Again, we recommend you ask your chosen carrier about the applicable baggage safety requirements. PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure your travel consultant advises Infinity Holidays of a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from Australia. BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking, select the holiday of your choice and then contact your licensed or AFTA travel consultant who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions. No variations to these terms and conditions will be of any effect unless made in writing and with the authority of Infinity Holidays. All communications from us will be sent to your travel consultant. Your travel consultant will, on receipt of any holiday monies, hold such monies for each and every person named in the booking until that booking is confirmed, at which time those monies shall be promptly remitted by your travel consultant to Infinity Holidays. MY TIME: All standard and unique My Time service inclusions and bonus offers are provided by our third-party suppliers to Infinity Holidays’ customers and are subject to availability. My Time third-party suppliers may (in their sole discretion) substitute any of the offers for any other offer that is available for similar or no face value. Alcohol-related offers are subject to local minimum-age restrictions. Minimum-stay offers are based on paid nights. All offers have no cash value, may not be combinable with other offers and are non-transferable. Unused offers have no surrender value and are not redeemable for cash. In-resort purchases may not include local tax and service charges. MONIES NOT HELD ON TRUST: All monies paid by you to us will be the property of Infinity Holidays and will be a debt due and payable to the relevant supplier (contingent on availing) once the services to which the money relates have been availed or the relevant booking is cancelled (subject to cancellation fees). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by Infinity Holidays on trust for or on behalf of you, and we may hold such monies in any account as we see fit, including with our own and/or other customer monies. GOVERNING LAW: If any dispute arises between you and us, the laws of Australia will apply. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia, and waive any right that you may have to object to an action being brought in those courts. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I acknowledge that I am 18 years of age or older and that I understand and agree with the above terms and conditions. Flight Centre Travel Group Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays. ATAS – Travel Accredited No. A10412.
