TRAVEL TUESDAY 564 - VANUATU, PACIFIC OCEAN

“I don't think there's much point in bemoaning the state of the world unless there's some way you can think of to improve it. Otherwise, don't bother writing a book; go and find a tropical island and lie in the sun.” - Peter Singer

Vanuatu is an archipelagic nation in Melanesia, located in the South Pacific Ocean. It consists of roughly 83 volcanic islands forming an irregular Y-shape, situated about 1,750 kilometres east of northern Australia. Known for its incredible cultural diversity, active volcanoes, and pristine marine life, it is a premier destination for adventure and tropical travel.

The capital is Port Vila, located on the island of Efate and it has a population of 56,352 residents (Vanuatu total population is 343,000 people). Languages spoken are Bislama (national pidgin English), English, and French, alongside over 100 indigenous languages. The climate is subtropical, featuring a warm, wet season (November to April) and a cooler, dry season (May to October).


Efate Island: The main gateway and home to the capital, Port Vila. Key sights include the stunning Mele Cascades Waterfall and deep-water lagoons.

Espiritu Santo Island: The largest island, famous for its glowing freshwater "blue holes" (like Nanda Blue Hole), powdery white sand at Champagne Beach, and the world-renowned SS President Coolidge shipwreck dive site.

Tanna Island: Famous for Mount Yasur, one of the world's most accessible active volcanoes, where visitors can stand right on the rim.

Pentecost Island: World-renowned for the annual Naghol (land diving) ritual held between April and June, which inspired modern bungee jumping.
