What to see in Port-Vila
- Volcan Yasur (Tanna, excursion)
Yasur is an active volcano on the island of Tanna, with near-constant explosions you can watch from the crater rim. - Blue Lagoon (Efate)
On the east coast of Efate, this sheltered lagoon has calm, turquoise water far from the bustle of Port Vila. - Cascades de Mele
In the rainforest above Mele Bay, the water drops through a series of falls and fills pools you can swim in. - Marché de Port-Vila
This is where Port Vila does its shopping, and the best place to see how the city lives day to day. - Île d'Iririki
Iririki is a small green island in the middle of Port Vila harbour, a short boat ride from the waterfront. - Trou bleu de Nanda
This round pool of clear, spring-fed water is one of the best-known blue holes in Vanuatu. - Hideaway Island (parc marin)
This small island off Mele Bay holds a marine sanctuary where you swim over a living reef just a few metres from the beach. - Musée national du Vanuatu
The national museum is the best way into Vanuatu, an archipelago with more than a hundred languages where kastom, or custom, is still a living practice.
