Vanuatu is good destination for adventurous backpackers but a rather poor choice for those looking for a beach to laze around on and to meet fellow travellers. The main interest is in exploring the islands culture and traditional villages and to visit the rainforest and dive sites on Espiritu Santo, or the Volcano on Tanna Island.
