About 65 of the 80 islands are inhabited leaving large amounts of the archipelago isolated and perfect for sailing to and relaxing on the beaches.
As well as pristine white beaches on many of Vanuatu’s islands there’s also a rich array of natural aquatic wildlife with coral reefs providing excellent opportunities for snorkelling and swimming. One of the finest areas for diving and snorkelling is the island of Tanna with the majestic blue caves, a must see for anyone sailing in the region. The caves and the coral reef are alive with a vast array of wildlife. Other Islands like Efate and Bokissa also have large reefs and great biodiversity in their wildlife so there are plenty of opportunities for some good diving all around Vanuatu.
Also very much recommended to explore when on the islands are the volcanoes, which are a hot tourist destination and very exciting. In particular the Island of Tanna which features mounts Yasur, an active volcano.
