Trip Duration

21 Days / 20 Nights

Best For

Long-stay travellers, explorers, and couples seeking an immersive cultural experience.
The Island Explorer is designed for travellers who want to see it all — the perfect mix of culture, nature, and slow island living. Over three unforgettable weeks, you’ll journey through Efate, Tanna, and Santo, each with its own rhythm and charm.

Begin in Efate, where you’ll swim at the Blue Lagoon, stroll through Port Vila’s vibrant markets, and enjoy cultural fire dance nights. Then, fly to Tanna Island, where adventure meets awe at the rim of Mt Yasur Volcano — glowing against the Pacific night sky. Your final week in Santo invites you to unwind at Champagne Beach, swim through the Blue Holes, and dive into WWII history at Million Dollar Point.

With boutique stays, guided tours, and plenty of free days to relax or explore at your own pace, this three-week journey is perfect for those who want to see the real Vanuatu — slowly and meaningfully.
