Volcano info

Hello all,

Just wanting to know the best option/s to see the Volcano's. We have only 6 days in Vanautu thinking of staying/basing ourselves in Vila then commuting out. What's the best/easiest volcano to get to i've been told Tanna island but we only fly in on a sunday and out the next sunday.
Is it best to book from here before we go or wing it when we get there?
Basically just looking for any info that would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance
cheers

Mt Yasur on Tanna is definitely the volcano you want to go to. It it just amazing, has to be seen to be believed! We went a couple of years ago and had about 8 days in Vila and 3 on Tanna. Once we got there, we wished we had much longer to stay, Tanna is just beautiful. I guess it depends what you are looking for, if you want luxurious resorts, restaurants etc then Vila is the go, Tanna is much more rustic and untouched, it felt more like the 'real' Vanuatu.
We stayed at White Grass resort and did the volcano tour through them. We though it was a fantastic place - I still have dreams that I am back there and then wake up in morning pretty grumpy to find out I'm not!

Spend at least one night in Tanna. An important part of the Yasur vulcano experience is to se the "fireworks" after sunset (in the dark).
The return trip should cost about 275 USD. (Vila-Tanna-Vila) See http://www.airvanuatu.com .
If You fly to/from Vanuatu with Air Vanuatu you should be entiteled to a discount on domestic flights.

If you want info on Tanna Volcano go to tripadvisor, the subject has been covered over and over again, with inumerable questions answered, or Google: "Mt Yasur" or "Tanna Volcano" . Yes, it is one of the best live volcanos in the world to see and the most accessible. Having lived 3 years on Tanna, I suggest that you spend the max time on that island as it will provide indelible holiday memories. Definetly book flights and accommodation in advance as Tanna does not have enough rooms (well good ones anyway) for the number of arrivals so it books out early. A good start would be : www.tevergreeresort-tours.vu.

Sorry, that should read: www.tevergreenresort-tours.vu
