Things to do in Vanuatu


A magical tropical island in the South Pacific - Vanuatu offers tourists a relaxing escape!

Discover some of the things you can do in Vanuatu:

1. Port Vila - Vila Chaumieres, Vanuatu accommodation
A unique resort offering restaurant services with fantastic cuisine!

2. Visit Espiritu Santo
Commonly known as Santo, Espiritu Santo is Vanuatu's largest island - a mountainous landscape cloaked in lush rainforest that is home to colourful butterflies, tropical birds and lovely orchids. The island is known for its war relics and superb dive sites, including the famous wreck of the SS Coolidge.

3.  Snorkelling
Snorkelling conditions are ideal for viewing the coral reefs and abundant marine life in Vanuatu's coastal waters.

4. Volcanoes
Mount Yasur Volcano on Tanna is a popular excursion. Although constantly active, visitors are able to walk to the crater rim and view the multiple vents. Night visits are particularly spectacular when fountains of erupting ash and rock glow bright red against the black sky. Ambrym's volcanic vents, Benbow and Marum, provide an awesome scenic attraction located amidst a surreal ash plain.

5. Diving
Vanuatu has some of the most accessible dive sites in the South Pacific and excellent visibility year round. The warm waters harbour coral reefs, shipwrecks (including the sunken passenger liner the President Coolidge in Espiritu Santo Harbour), drop-offs and caves. Several dive companies operate in Vanuatu offering a range of diving options.
