Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been together a couple of times now and the first couple of times that we did go we did a boat tour a ship tour and we circumnavigated the island

this video is going to be about the process of getting your duty free if that's what you're going to do while you're in Port Villa

it's a lot cheaper than buying alcohol in Australia I can guarantee that

just be aware of that if you're not into that sort of thing just don't ask don't even talk to the people that have these lizards on them

βœ“Take a minivan from the port to town for $5 AUD per person
βœ“Buy duty-free alcohol at the big yellow building in Port Vila for cheaper prices
