What to see in Port-Vila

  1. 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.
  2. Blue Lagoon (Efate)
    On the east coast of Efate, this sheltered lagoon has calm, turquoise water far from the bustle of Port Vila.
  3. Cascades de Mele
    In the rainforest above Mele Bay, the water drops through a series of falls and fills pools you can swim in.
  4. 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.
  5. Île d'Iririki
    Iririki is a small green island in the middle of Port Vila harbour, a short boat ride from the waterfront.
  6. Trou bleu de Nanda
    This round pool of clear, spring-fed water is one of the best-known blue holes in Vanuatu.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
