OVERVIEW

Tanna is a mountainous island in Vanuatu, with forest, farms and settlements spread around an active volcano, while customary village life remains highly visible. The combination of active volcanoes, traditional villages and black sand coastlines across a rugged island with strong customary culture and island gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.

Volcano visits, local guides and village stays provide the main experiences. Roads are rough, while weather and volcanic conditions can affect access. Experiencing active volcanoes alongside traditional villages and black sand coastlines across a rugged island with strong customary culture reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
