Vanuatu by Sail: This Is Why We Travel

Join us as we sail through the central islands of Vanuatu, from the volcanic peaks of Nguna Island to the quiet anchorage at Awei in the Maskelyne Islands — with a memorable stop at Epi Island along the way. This episode is packed with the kind of moments that remind us why we chose this life: ⛵ A dugong sighting in the shallows at Epi 🔥 A surprise safety drill with lifejackets and flares 🌴 Warm welcomes from locals and gifts of fruit 🌬️ A powerful southerly system that made anchoring a challenge This is remote sailing in the South Pacific — raw, beautiful, and deeply rewarding. 🗺️ Sailing Route: Nguna Island ➤ Epi Island ➤ Awei Island (Maskelynes) 📍 Country: Vanuatu 🎥 Subscribe to follow our sailing life through Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and beyond. #sailingvanuatu #southpacificsailing #epiisland #maskelyneislands #travelvanuatu #adventuretravel #sailingcouple #remotesailing #vanualife #slowtravel #dugong #offgridlife We hope you enjoy it!

Between remote anchorages and winding backroads, we share honest stories of what it’s really like to live, travel, and work from the road and sea. We’re not chasing perfect—we’re chasing real moments, unexpected encounters, and a slower way of being. Follow our journey: @adamandvickistravels on YouTube and Instagram.
