Getting There
Car
If you are traveling by car, begin your journey in the main town of Sola, the capital of Torba. From Sola, take the road heading northeast toward the coast. The drive will take you about 1.5 hours to reach the port at the northern end of the island. Make sure to fill up on fuel in Sola, as there are limited services on the road. At the port, you will need to arrange for a boat transfer to Tegua Island. Expect to pay around 500-1000 Vanuatu Vatu for the boat ride, depending on the operator.
Public Transportation
For public transportation, start in Sola and look for a bus or shared taxi heading to the northern port. This is often a more budget-friendly option, costing around 200-500 Vanuatu Vatu. Buses may not have a fixed schedule, so be prepared to wait for a while. Once you reach the port, you will need to find a local boat service to Tegua Island. The boat fare will be similar to that of a private transfer, approximately 500-1000 Vanuatu Vatu.
Boat Transfer
After reaching the port, you will need to hire a boat to take you to Tegua. There are usually several boats available, but it is wise to negotiate the price beforehand. The boat ride can take about 30 minutes, and you should check the weather conditions before setting off, as sea conditions can vary. Make sure to have cash ready for the fare.
