Take a look at the active volcano

Situated on the island of Tanna, Mount Yasur is about an hour away from Port Vila if you are flying. This volcano is very much active and still alive, therefore, it is always bubbling and throwing gas up in the air. You will be able to get close to the mountain but you will have to stop at the parking lot with your vehicle. After you get off your vehicle, you will have to hike for about 10 minutes to reach the summit. The hissing and the gurgling sound of the volcano is something you will not forget in your life. To check how hot this active volcano can be, you can throw a piece of rock in the air and when it passes over the open volcano it will glow bright red before it falls inside.

The markets

After you are done exploring the active volcano in the area, you will also be able to check out the various markets that are found here.

Though it is a very touristy place, you will still be able to find authentic art and artefacts for you to take back home from your holiday. If you are into paintings and carvings you will be able to find them here too. If you walk further down the main street of this market you will be treated with the sight of fresh local vegetables and fruits that will be up for sale.
