Most people love the idea of vacationing on a tropical island. The South Pacific offers plenty of island options for holiday makers and Vanuatu is one of the region’s best hidden secrets. Vanuatu vacations offer something for everyone, from individuals and groups to couples and families. People of all ages will love the magnificent scenery, wide range of water sports and depth of culture. Vanuatu comprises a gorgeous collection of islands with the capital Port Vila as the main town of this unspoilt corner of paradise.
Your trip to Vanuatu will give you an insight into a unique culture with a fascinating history and many intriguing traditions. The Vanuatu Museum contains a fabulous collection of ancient artifacts, ceremonial head dresses and traditional pottery. If you enjoy cultural activities, you won’t be disappointed by your stay in Vanuatu. There are dance festivals and arts festivals at various times of the year and you’ll be enthralled by the colour, music, passion and energy of the people of these fascinating islands.
Some of the more unusual things visitors tell their friends about when they arrive home from Vanuatu vacations include standing at the edge of the Yasur Volcano crater on Tanna Island, diving amongst the wreckage of the SS President Coolidge just off the beach at Luganville and watching in awe as the land divers defy death on Pentecost Island.
Holiday makers love to try out different sports while they’re away from home, and Vanuatu is a great place to indulge in water sports, biking and bush walking among many other sporting activities. You can even keep up your golf handicap at the Port Vila Country Club. Of course, there’s no reason why you can’t just book into a resort and spend your days lying in a hammock under a palm tree listening to the gentle lapping of water at the shore. There are a good number of resorts to choose from, as well as excellent shopping and dining options. You can shop to your heart’s delight for a wide range of handicrafts and jewellery. Dining out is very reasonably priced, with the choice of Melanesian feasts and international cuisines. For those who like to dance the night away, Vanuatu vacations offer plenty of nightlife including casinos, bars and music venues. The kava bars are a must stop for those who want to try the national drink of Vanuatu.
Vanuatu vacations are extremely relaxing and give you a real break away from the grind of daily life. Vanuatu is less commercialised than many of the other tropical islands available to tourists. It’s a great place for those who love all the normal vacation activities in an informal and relaxing environment without too much hype.
