Vanuatu

Vanuatu is a South Pacific archipelago where ancient tribal customs coexist with laid-back island life, active volcanoes simmer just offshore, and world-class wreck diving meets lush rainforest treks. It’s a place where you can stand at the rim of an erupting volcano on Tanna one day and snorkel through kaleidoscopic coral gardens the next—without the crowds found in more commercialized Pacific destinations.
