Tanna Island Travel Guide



anna Island lies a thirty minute flight to the south of Port Vila and is an explorer's paradise with the impressive and constantly active Mount Yasur Volcano on the east coast which draws in the tourists on day and overnight trips from Port Vila.


West Coast Tanna



All accommodation providers on Tanna Island offer daily tours to Mt Yasur Volcano although it's a two hour bumpy 4-WD journey from the airstrip across the centre of the mountainous island to reach the volcano. The volcano is best viewed at night when its fiery erruptions light up the night sky. The other attraction of the island is its very traditional kastom villages scattered around the island and several put on dance shows for tourists.

Tanna Evergreen Bungalows is a small resort perched on a rocky coastline five minutes drive north of Tanna Airport. With ten bungalows set in tropical vegetation offering partial ocean views, this locally owned property makes an affordable but adequately comfortable base to explore the island, its custom villages and the Yasur Volcano, 2-hr drive across the island.



East Coast




Mt Yasur volcano is undoubtedly best viewed at sunset when the hot volcanic stones from the fiery beast can be seen tossed a hundred metres into the air and then showering back down to earth in spectacular fashion. Depending on the volatility of the volcano, tourists can climb the steep ash fields to the 361 metre high rim and peer down into the crater's belly. As it is a 2-hour drive across a rough and bumpy road from the west coast and airport, staying at least one night on the east coast is a good option. The east coast is more remote though and more difficult to explore, but there a couple of pleasant wild beaches notably at Turtle Bay around the point from picturesque Port Resolution Bay.
