The islands of Vanuatu became fully independent in 1980. Since then, a drive to encourage overseas travelers to Vanuatu has led to ever-increasing numbers of visitors. The islands are enthusiasts’ paradise. The geologically active archipelago is a natural playground of colorful reefs, bubbling volcanoes and lush jungle. You can drive up to the crater of Yasur, cited as the most accessible active volcano in the world, sea kayak round the islands' shorelines, explore underwater World War II relics, or hike and bike through coconut plantations and tropical rainforest. Tourism is centered on the islands of Efat?, Tanna and Espiritu Santo. A number of discount hotels in Vanuatu are established around these islands.
When in Vanuatu, you’ll think Vanuatu's beaches are unbeatable on one island until you reach the next. Divers are delighted at the clear waters, coral reefs and shipwrecks; volcanologists go wild for its many smoking peaks; and naturalists lust after its untouched forests, reefs and extravagant bird life.
