Tanna
Tanna
would have to be one of the most
exciting islands of the Vanuatu archipology – no wonder,
with its myriad of natural attractions such as the world’s
most accessible volcano and the numerous traditional
villages referred to as “Kastom” which still live as their
ancestors did.
 The landscape is varied and wild, dominated to the south by
mount
TUKOSMERA (1084m) and MELEN (1047m) overshadowing ancient
extinct volcanoes. The island was first “discovered” in 1774
by Captain Cook who gave the name of his ship, the
“Resolution” to the bay he anchored.
A variety of attractions
At its centre, a fertile and totally organic land called
Middlebush grows the renowned “Tanna Coffee”, oignons, root
crops and fruits to be sold throughout the archipelago.
 In addition to the volcano, Tanna offers a variety of
attractions such as the dance of the TOKA. The John Frum
Cargo Cult village of Sulphur Bay, the wild horses of White
Grass Plains, hot springs of Port Resolution, deep
waterfalls scattered throughout the island accessible by
foot, and the traditional custom dancing which is a daily
event in various villages.
It is impossible to see everything in one day. One would
need at least two or three days to truly appreciate this
extraordinary island.
There are several accommodation options (in distance from
the airport) : The White Grass Ocean Resort, Tanna Evergreen
Bungalows, Iamaltosing Guest House, Tafea Guest House, Uma
Guest House, Lenakel Cove Resort, Jungle Oasis, Volcano
