Tour Overview
On this eight-day expedition, encounter raw beauty and culture on the tiny islands of Vanuatu. Leave the resorts of Port Vila behind and head to rainforest-rich islands where you meet locals, immerse yourself in nature and enjoy true adventure travel. Meet communities where kastom – traditional culture and law – still guides the way of life, including the legendary John Frum villages. Snorkel among the protected coral reefs, trek through lush greenery and learn about what it’s like to live among an active volcano and tropical wilderness. Embrace a side of Vanuatu that few tourists seek, but one that those who do will never forget.
