After a 1 hour flight from Port Vila we drove across Tanna by 4WD. It's a rugged journey but worth it to see the jungle and the way the people live. There are flights to a second airport near Yasur if you don't want to be bumped around for 2 hours. You approach Yasur across the ash plain where the... more

If you're travelling to Vanuatu, it is definitely worth making a side trip to Tanna to see Mt Yasur.
