Ambrym OR Tanna?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu

Hi,
I somehow restricted in time and looking at going to either Ambrym or Tanna - both volcanic island.
I get the feeling that Tanna is interesting, but in a way more "touristic" than Ambrym.
Would be happy for any advice.

Tanna is more touristy but also more interesting.
On Ambrym, no one wears traditional dress on a daily basis.
But if you are into art (carvings), Ambrym is the place to go.

I have been to Ambrym this year
I say AMBRYM

It is so so so exotic and mysterious.
Much more special then Tanna!
