Tanna Island, to the South of Efate (the main island of Vanuatu) is sometimes referred to as the Island of Fire, so called for its most awesome feature – Mt Yasur – the most accessible, active volcano in the world. This ancient volcano is conspicuously located in one of the most pristine, unspoilt corners of the globe. The Island of Tanna is itself a beautiful, natural paradise with so much to see and do. As such, Tanna is a favourite destination for volcanologists, adventure travellers and tourists the world over.

Hello Easuary,

My husband Ray and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the tour to Tanna Island volcano last Sunday. The trip was a special, surprise birthday present for Ray's 60th birthday, and it was even better than I had expected. We had a really memorable day, and it was a great way to celebrate a birthday. Thanks to you and the staff of Unity Airlines for making it possible, and particularly to Aleisha who looked after us so professionally, and is a marvellous ambassador for your company.
We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in making the day special for us.

Thanks again,
Robyn Robinson

In the local native dialect, Yasur means 'Old Man'. This Vanuatu volcano is 361 meters above sea level. The crater itself is 300 meters wide and 100 meters deep. You can be driven to within 150 meters of the craters edge and even walk around the entire perimeter. Evening tours enable you to see the volcano during daylight and then the magnificent displays of molten magma in darkness.

Mount Yasur Volcano By Night

Visiting Mount Yasur is a 'once in a lifetime' experience. This is your opportunity to watch nature at work. Enjoy the magnificent fireworks display as you listen to the deep groans and roars coming from within. See and hear explosions of rock and ash thrown high into the sky and then thud back into the crater. Feel the earth tremble beneath your feet.

Take an evening tour to Mt Yasur departing mid-afternoon and returning around 8.30pm, in time for dinner. This way you can get to see the volcano during daylight and then the magnificent displays of molten magma in darkness. The actual Vanuatu volcano experience is a 1.5 hour trip to the volcano by 4WD, a short climb (approx.10 minutes) to the crater and another 1.5 hour 4WD trip back.

What To Bring On Your Tanna Island Volcano Tour

The climb to the summit of Mount Yasur is quite steep and the ground uneven. While the weather is likely to be warm in the daytime, after sunset it can become quite cool at the top of the volcano, especially during April through to November.

How To Get To Vanuatu

How To Travel To Vanuatu For Mount Yasur Volcano Tours

There are regular flights from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne (Australia), as well as from Fiji, New Zealand and New Caledonia. If you do not live in one of these countries, then you will need to travel there first before catching a connecting flight to Port Vila, Vanuatu.

.....unless of course, you have your own private jet - then you can pretty much do as you please

Alternative Overnight Accommodation Option

If you are looking for something more up-market, White Grass Ocean Resort is the way to go. It is, without doubt, the best resort on Tanna.

(Note: If paying by credit card, there is an additional 5.5% payment service fee)

Price includes return airfare, accommodation, a continental breakfast, the volcano tour, airport transfers
and government tax. It also includes pick-up and re-delivery to your resort/hotel in Port Vila
(metropolitan area only).

While the above rates include a continental breakfast and government taxes, it does mean that your Unity Airlines Tanna Volcano Overnight Safari will cost you a little more. However, given the substantial difference in the quality of this resort, it may be well worth it.

White Grass Ocean Resort

White Grass Resort

White Grass Ocean Resort is a delightful haven for travellers offering excellent 3 star accommodation in romantic island-style bures. It is the perfect place to base your stay on Tanna Island.

From here you can laze away the day beneath a swaying palm or take part in one of a number of safari 4WD tours, horse riding, sea kayaking, mountain bike riding, trekking and much more. Whether you yearn for a lazy getaway or a soft-adventure, White Grass Ocean Resort is awaiting.

It has a 300m stretch of private white sand beach with large rock pools to explore and swim in. There are 3 other beautiful beaches within a few minutes walk including the “Blue Hole” - a favourite snorkelling spot.

Dining is in an ocean front restaurant which adjoins a cosy guest lounge. The restaurant serves the freshest of lobster and other seafood.

The Managers, Robyn & Ted Metcalf, will make you feel like family!
