Tanna Accommodation and Travel Information
Tanna is Vanuatu’s most popular adventure destination, thanks to its famous attraction, the fiery Mount Yasur. Yasur is considered to be the safest and most easily accessible active volcano in the world. Once you’ve travelled up through the black ash plains by taxi truck or 4WD, it’s just a short 10 minute walk to the crater rim.
The island is a mixture of savannah, forest and rugged mountains – stretching from the grasslands and scrub of the north-west to the mountains and dense forest of the south-west. The fertile centre contains thriving market gardens which produce a variety of vegetables and fruit, as well as the island’s main cash crops, kava and coffee.
Tanna’s 20,000 inhabitants have largely retained their original custom and culture (kastom), preferring to turn their back on modern ways. Ceremonies, including the annual yam festival, circumcision rites and marriages, are frequent events and feature the unique Tannese face painting that is often seen in photos of Vanuatu.
