Vanuatu holidays can be spent exploring the rugged coastline, lush countryside, tranquil lagoons and coral reefs. Also, Vanuatu's island are part of the Pacific 'ring of fire', where many volcanoes on the island are still active.
For those after a more relaxing escape, Vanuatu holidays can be spent visiting virtually untouched beaches, lounging on the beach or by the pool or sampling the local cuisine in stunning settings.
Port Vila has become renowned as a gourmet capital of the South Pacific, due in recent years to a number of new resorts opening up and offering numerous cafes and restaurants, with a vast array of cuisines.
As well as being the capital of Vanuatu, Port Vila is situated on a natural harbour with breathtaking views of the islands of Vanuatu. Holidays normally begin and end here, as it's known as the gateway to the islands.
Vanuatu holidays during April and June can take advantage of an annual event on the Pentecost Island on each Saturday during these months. The event is based on a legend which sparked the tradition of 'land-diving'. This sport is similar to 'bungee jumping' but different and more daring where men launch themselves from branch towers, and are tied by vines at the ankles as the plummet towards the ground.
