Tanna Things to Do Tips by CandS

You really must visit Mt Yasur Volcano if you get the chance...it is amazing!! We arrived just on sunset to find the hot lava being spewed in the air. We could also hear the huge 'booms' from a long way away...very scary when you get up close but fantastic all the same!!!

Mt Yasur is on the opposite side of the island to the airport so you can choose to stay nearby or at one of the resorts near the airport. Either way you will have to do the long trip across the island...

The village people in Tanna are wonderful. :) They are very friendly and extremely welcoming.

We did a tour around the island in a 4WD and the whole way the kids were yelling out hello and running along side the car. Although some couldn't speak English they still waved and smiled...

Most villagers have 'grass huts' as their homes - they are so well built!! I loved them! Unfortunately many were damaged by Cyclone Ivy in February 2004 so we saw a lot of damage when we were there...very sad...

The Black Sand Beach on Tanna Island is amazing... We only saw a small part of it while doing our 4WD Tour but it was great to see.

The 'sand' has come from the volcano. It's the first black sand beach I had ever seen and I loved it!
