Island Highlights

Vanuatu has over 83 islands and a wide range of natural and cultural experiences on offer. Here are some of our highlights.

Efate / Port Vila

If your stay in Vanuatu is under 5 days, we recommend focusing on Efate. From the capital, Port Vila, you can enjoy:

  • Island tours, waterfalls, kayaking, hiking, cultural villages
  • Day trips to Efate’s offshore islands, such as Vanuatu Ecotours – Nguna Outer Island Adventure or Vanuatu Ecotours – Pele Paradise. These islands can be safely accessed by small boat
  • A broad range of accommodation options from boutique resorts to city hotels
  • Looking for something special? Air charter companies also offer day tours to Yasur Volcano (Tanna) or land diving on Pentecost (April–June, Saturdays only).

Tanna Island

Tanna is a must-visit for those wanting to witness Yasur Volcano, one of the world’s most accessible active volcanoes. While day trips are possible, we highly recommend spending 2–3 nights to enjoy:

  • Volcano tours
  • Kastom village visits
  • Stunning coastal landscapes

Tip: Pre-book your Tanna experience! Space is limited and planes and resorts fill up quickly.

Espiritu Santo

Santo is known for its pristine blue holes, white sand beaches, and world-class diving — including the famous SS President Coolidge wreck dive.

With both cultural and nature-based experiences available, our Essential Santo package (4 days / 3 nights) is your best-value option for exploring the island.
