Volcanoes

KABOOM! Vanuatu’s volcanoes are so famous that there’s even one on the tail of our national airline! Dotted throughout the country, the combination of active and dormant volcanoes mean that there’s a volcanic experience for everyone.

Tropic like it's hot

Lava lovers, rejoice! There’s such a diversity of volcanoes throughout our 83 islands that you really are spoilt for choice. Visitors typically head to the world’s most accessible active volcano with a trip to the summit of Tanna’s Mt Yasur at sunset. If you really want to be 'one with the volcano', you can then ashboard down the side of it once you've reached the summit!


If you’re feeling more intrepid and want to go on a multi-day hike to peer into the craters of Mt Benbow and Mt Marum on Ambrym or perhaps Gaua’s Mt Garet.


If you prefer your volcanoes more dormant, Nguna, just off Efate’s Havannah Coast is great for a half-day trek (especially if you tie it in with sunrise).
