📍 Destination Overview
Pentecost is an island in Vanuatu's Penama Province, famed for Naghol land diving, the origin of modern bungee jumping. Each April to June, men leap from wooden towers with vines tied to their ankles, slowed just short of the ground in a centuries-old rite for yam harvest and manhood. Traditional village life, where pig tusks mark wealth, endures - a striking cultural experience.
