Air Taxi

Mt Yasur, on the Southern Vanuatu island of Tanna, is the archipelago’s most iconic landmark. Words can’t adequately describe the thrill and awe of walking to the edge of an active volcano and watching it erupt. It is one of the most spectacular natural events you’re ever likely to witness, especially at night when the molten magma displays are truly awesome. AIR TAXI Vanuatu offers premium Day and Overnight Tours to Tanna.

Santo Horse Adventures

Reviewed By 501gt - Australia, null

We highly recommend this tour! Our morning started with being picked up from our accommodation by friendly Megan and taken to her 200-acre riding ranch near Surranda Bay on the Coral Sea. Megan does a wonderful job with her many rescue horses and was very good checking out everyone’s riding experience to match us up with appropriate horses - all of which may have some quirks from their past mistreatment but are wonderful animals. We loved riding through the Island’s countryside, farms, mangrove rainforest and even through a village preparing for a local wedding! Meanwhile, Megan and her local Ni-Vanuatu riding guide explained some of the native bush and birds we saw. The best part was riding through a freshwater stream covered with mangrove trees down to the sea, and of course Megan herself. We sincerely hope that she, her family, workers, and horses are safe after the recent Cyclone Harold and that tourists are soon able to return to her magical ‘Santo’ Island paradise.

Tropic Thunder Jet

We won Best Adventure Activity 2017/18 Our 30 minute Jet boat experience is the most exhilarating water tour in the South Pacific! Thrilling 1000’s of people every year this is the most popular tour in Vanuatu. Full of surprising twists, turns and a lot of splashes. This is a Jet boat trip like no other! Recognized as one of Vanuatu’s best value products for a good reason, this is an adrenaline rush from the moment you leave town. Our state of the art custom built Jet boats are designed for one purpose; to excite and thrill you as you race around the Port Vila Harbour at speeds of 80km/hr. Sit back, hold on, and try to relax as our experienced boat drivers navigate the busy water ways over the coral reefs. With skill and speed you will negotiate the shallow reefs, when suddenly you are going sideways, backwards, sideways and back facing the way you were going, WOW, that’s a Hamilton spin! 360 degree spin, as the boat turns in its own length! #thewetterthebetter #bestshoretourportvila
