Adventures and Travel Vacations in Vanuatu

82 islands scattered across the blue waters of the South Pacific combine to create the country of Vanuatu. With a unique blend of tribal cultures, amazing resorts, tranquil beaches, and geography ranging from accessible volcanoes to pristine underwater environments.

Vanuatu is home to such interesting cultures as the original bungee jumpers of Pentecost Island and the John Frum Cargo Cult on Tanna Island. Inhabited for thousands of years by many different pacific countries, the natural boundaries (large stretches of open water, dense jungle, and mountainous terrain) isolated many groups within the island, breeding sophisticated societies and political systems as well as preserving the beauty of the natural environment.

For divers there is the wreck of the President Coolidge off Santo Island, as well as healthy coral reefs. For the adventurer, there is the island of Tanna where lies the accessible Mt Yasur volcano rising above a vast playground of adventurous opportunities. Vanuatu will share with its guests glorious natural beauty, dignified cultures, delicious local cuisine, and boundless adventure ! ! !
