Vanuatu Volcano Day Tour from Port Vila to Tanna Island’s Mt Yasur Volcano
Tanna – Mt Yasur Volcano Day Tour
A tour to Tanna Island to view Vanuatu’s famous Mt Yasur Volcano is an experience of a lifetime. Mt Yasur Volcano, on the southern Vanuatu island of Tanna, is probably the archipelago’s most iconic landmark, and justly so. The locals cannot remember a time when Tanna Volcano wasn’t coughing up its blazing entrails, shooting lava bombs and a volcanic ash cloud hundreds of meters into the air, every few minutes. Leaving Vanuatu without having witnessed ‘up close and personal’ the Mt Yasur Volcano fireworks phenomena is akin to not seeing the Eiffel Tower when visiting Paris!

Are You Ready For a Real Adventure?
One of the world’s most amazing day trips
Soon after arrival at Port Vila Airport and a simple check-in process, you will meet your Air Taxi Pilot and board your aircraft; it is a friendly and informal affair. After approximately one hour flying over the tropical waters of the Coral Sea, you’ll touch down at Tanna’s White Grass Airport. Here, you will be met by your friendly Mt Yasur Volcano Safari staff. The Tanna Volcano 4 wheel drive safari takes you through lush rain forest, past coffee plantations, native villages, over rugged mountain passes and across Mt Yasur Volcano’s moon like ash plain, to the world’s most active and accessible volcano.
A ten minute ash dune climb will see you at the crater’s edge where one of the most breath taking natural experiences of your life awaits. Once the photography is over and you’ve had your picnic lunch, it’s time to head back to Tanna Airport for the return flight back to Port Vila.
In addition to a Day Tour to Tanna Volcano, we also offer Overnight and Best of Tanna Tours. These options are slightly more expensive but the Mt Yasur Volcano fireworks display is all the more impressive when it gets dark.
