greggig 17:02 UTC 04 Sep 2008 | Anyonw has an accommodation to recommend on a walking distance to Yasur? Thanx. |
vivavanuatu 21:43 UTC 05 Sep 2008 | Yes, its called Jungle Oasis (300 meters from the base of the volcano) and you can see what they offer on the vanuatu-hotels.vu website. Other is Turtle Bay Lodge, a liitle furthet (1 km) but better standards, ditto website. | 1
celiaroger 21:30 UTC 08 Sep 2008 | There are two more options, both about 2 hours walking from the volcano. Port Resolution Yach Club and Friendly Bungalow (both basic accommodation but with a beach in front -Friendly is literally on the beach). Jungle Oasis is nice and the closest accommodation from the volcano, but far from the beach. Edited by: celiaroger Edited by: celiaroger | 2
greggig 13:08 UTC 09 Sep 2008 | That means we can WALK up the volcano and no need to take a tour to get there? | 3
anotherlostsoul 16:44 UTC 29 Sep 2008 | greggig .... If you go up the volcano - go with a local who knows it. It's several years since I was there but previous to my visit a couple of people died near the summit. When you reach the top you'll see ejected rocks lying all around in the dust ... imagine a fresh, red hot one landing on your head! Be careful. | 4
tim08 10:12 UTC 02 Oct 2008 | I stayed at Volcano Smile Lava Bungalows (google that) a few months back. Running water (cold) & great hosts (Philip Joel) Its at the very base & takes maybe 30 mins to walk up. If the volcano is closed due to large eruptions you can simply sit in the village & watch it from there. They will collect you from the airfield. | 5
vivavanuatu 22:50 UTC 17 Jan 2010 | It is probably time to update this post, Friendly is now owned & operated by Poppies Resort and not the same rate as before. Tanna Evevergreen Bungalows is now much larger and called Tanna Evergreen Resort & Tours. There are two new establishment on Tanna: Tanna Lodge and Sunset Bungalows which can be also be found on www.vanuatu-hotels.vu | 6
