ariety, vibrancy, volcanoes − these words are synonymous with Vanuatu.
This necklace of lush islands in the South Pacific is a potpourri of cultures
offering travellers a captivating and divergent choice of experiences. Vanuatu
is a pulsating destination that has embraced the best features lingering from
its colonial past and melded them with the Melanesian characteristics of
outstanding friendliness and hospitality to make it a unique destination.
It surely leads the cuisine stakes of any island nation – Vanuatu’s rich
volcanic soil and year-round rain have helped give the country’s Santo beef
a worldwide reputation for quality. And the coffee grown on the island of
Tanna has gained distinction around the globe.
While relaxation and dining are a prerequisite of most island holidays, a visit
to Vanuatu certainly does not have to be sedentary. Vanuatu boasts some of
the best diving sites in the world, with opportunities to explore both pristine
coral reefs and wartime wrecks, making this destination a magnet for both
scuba divers and snorkellers. And if you want to keep your feet dry but still
hanker for excitement, Vanuatu has some of the world’s most active and
exciting volcanoes, many of them easily accessible to visitors.
