Attractions in Vanuatu

Vanuatu has a hot and wet with a rainy season from November to April and southeast trade winds blow year-round. May to September are the optimum months for a visit. Apart from Port Vila, and the diving mecca of Espiritu Santo in the north, Vanuatu's biggest attraction is the live volcano, Yasur, on the southern island of Tanna. On Tanna, as on other outer islands, you'll find people living in traditional ways, their culture an interesting blend of old customs and cargo cult. Vanuatu's coral reefs and famed wrecks, such as the S.S. President Coolidge on Espiritu Santo, attract scuba divers from around the world. From Port Vila you can take a game fishing expedition and hire charter yachts. Golfers will find two major 18-hole courses on Efate and Espiritu Santo also has a golf course. Finally, hiking and bird watching along the many mountain trails is very popular.

Go deep sea fishing, put on your scuba gear and dive into the crystal blue water to view the amazing creatures, catch a short plane ride to a near-by island and take a walk up an active volcano to view the spectacular eruptions.
