🌏 Destination Overview
Vanuatu is a wild, untamed island nation in the South Pacific. On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur is one of the world's most easily accessible active volcanoes; standing at the crater's edge at dusk and watching glowing lava erupt again and again as the ground rumbles beneath your feet is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. Efate and Espiritu Santo offer crystal-clear blue holes, world-class dive sites such as the WWII wreck of the SS President Coolidge, and traditional tribal villages. With volcanoes, blue holes and the simple culture of its islanders, Vanuatu suits off-the-beaten-path travelers who love raw nature and adventure.
