Vanuatu is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It belongs to the Melanesian archipelago, consisting of about 80 islands (68 of which are inhabited). Nature has generously bestowed Vanuatu with not only fertile land but also rich marine and 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 beneath their feet. People often consider witnessing this "fireworks set off by God" as a lifetime blessing. The white sandy beaches of the South Pacific, the vast blue waters, and various recreational activities such as tropical diving, volcano viewing, golf, yachting, windsurfing, and beach sports allow you to completely relax and enjoy peace... The tropical cuisine, seafood, French cuisine, Chinese food, especially the coconut crab, is definitely worth trying. It will provide you with an ultimate taste experience.
Located below 3 meters underwater is Vanuatu's official underwater post office. It looks like a giant soda can on the seabed, situated 35 meters from the beach of Port Vila. More than 50,000 tourists come here to dive each year, and you can send waterproof postcards from here. Instead of using the traditional ink stamp method, a special embossed date stamp is used to create unique embossed patterns, indicating that the postcard has been sent. While mailing your postcard, you can also admire the most enchanting underwater flora and fauna in the world. The capital of Santo Island, Port Buka, is a world-renowned diving destination. In 1942, a luxury cruise ship converted into a troop transport vessel, carrying 5,500 American soldiers, struck one of its own naval mines while entering the port and soon sank on the nearby coral reef. This cruise ship is only a hundred 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 adventurous explorers.
