Your Journey

Arrival in Port Vila — 17th August

Arrive in Port Vila, meet your fellow travellers and prepare for three extraordinary weeks of swimming, culture and island adventure.

Week 3: The Santo Experience — 18th–24th August

Spend six nights at Turtle Bay Lodge, surrounded by tropical gardens and Santo’s warm, crystal-clear water.

Explore some of Vanuatu’s most spectacular swimming and snorkelling locations, including:

• Million Dollar Point
  

• Turtle Bay to Riri River

• Santo’s famous blue holes

• Champagne Beach

• Dugong and turtle spotting

• Daily swimming at Turtle Bay

Port Vila Stopover — 24th August

Return to Port Vila and visit the Tanna Coffee manufacturing facility.

Discover how locally grown Tanna coffee is prepared and produced, with the opportunity to purchase some of the best coffee in Vanuatu before travelling to Tanna.

Week 4: Raw Tanna — 25th–28th August

Tanna is a completely different side of Vanuatu—raw, powerful and deeply connected to its traditional culture.

During four unforgettable days, you’ll experience:

• Three nights of accommodation on Tanna

• The spectacular Tanna Blue Cave

• Traditional village life and local customs

• Walk up Mount Yasur at sunset and swim into the Blue Cave at sunrise.

• Dramatic volcanic landscapes

• Black-sand beaches and tropical scenery

• Authentic island food and hospitality

• Time to relax and experience the slower pace of Tanna life

Stand at the edge of one of the world’s most accessible active volcanoes as explosions echo across the crater and molten lava lights up the evening sky.

Raw Tanna is not simply another tour. It is an opportunity to experience a world that feels completely removed from everyday life.

Return to Port Vila for a well-earned rest day before beginning the final week of your adventure.
