Follow Vanuatu Immigration and Vanuatu Living: Vanuatu is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Melanesian archipelago, consisting of about 80 islands (68 of which are inhabited). The largest island is Santo, with an area of 3,947 square kilometers.
Nature has generously bestowed Vanuatu with not only fertile land but also diverse tourism resources. Each of Vanuatu's more than 80 islands has its own unique characteristics. In particular, the Yasur volcano on Tanna Island is known as the "most accessible volcano in the world," where visitors can stand on the edge of the crater and watch the volcano spewing smoke and fire below, as the lava here typically erupts straight up and rarely spills over the edge. People often consider witnessing this "fireworks set off by God" a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The South Pacific features silver-white sandy beaches and vast azure waters, offering a variety of leisure activities such as tropical diving, volcano viewing, golf, yachting, windsurfing, and beach sports, allowing you to completely relax and enjoy tranquility... Meanwhile, the tropical cuisine, seafood, French cuisine, and Chinese food, especially the coconut crab, are definitely worth trying. They will provide you with an ultimate taste experience.
You must visit the world's only underwater post office, located in a natural marine park, situated 3 meters below sea level at the Vanuatu Post Office's underwater facility. It looks like a giant soda can on the ocean floor, 35 meters from the beach at Port Vila. Over 50,000 tourists come here to dive each year, and you can send waterproof postcards from here, with the staff stamping your postcards. Instead of using traditional ink to cancel stamps, they use a special embossed date stamp that leaves a unique raised pattern, indicating that the postcard has been sent. While mailing your postcard, you can also enjoy the most enchanting underwater flora and fauna in the world.
The capital of Santo Island, Luganville, is a world-renowned diving destination. In 1942, a luxury cruise ship converted into a troop transport vessel, carrying 5,500 American soldiers, struck a U.S. naval mine while entering the port and soon sank on a nearby coral reef. This ship is only about 100 meters from the shore, with the bow and stern submerged at depths of 20 to 70 meters, making it a paradise for diving enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Nearby, there is also a million-dollar bay, which is another great diving spot.
