Tanna's food is hearty Melanesian fare centred on root crops, fresh fish and coconut. Lodges and the White Grass area serve lap lap, grilled reef fish and tropical fruit, with a strong communal, village-cooking tradition. The island's remote feel means meals are simple and fresh, often prepared in earth ovens and shared with guests in a relaxed, friendly setting.

Tanna is Vanuatu's adventure island, famous for the accessible Yasur volcano and a surprising variety of dives. The Blue Cave is a limestone cavern reached by a short swim-through, lit by intense blue refraction and home to glassfish and flashlight fish, while the Tanna Outer Reef Wall is a pristine drop-off with grey and silvertip sharks, tuna and gorgonians. White Grass Reef is a calm garden for training and macro, and Shark Alley is a baited dive with grey reef sharks, whitetips and trevally at 25 to 35 m. The black-sand slopes near Yasur offer unique volcanic macro dives with garden eels and seahorses. Tanna blends frontier diving with one of the most spectacular land experiences in the Pacific.

Tanna – Blue Cave, Outer Reefs & Volcano

Fly into White Grass Airport (TNU) from Port Vila, then transfer to Lenakel or the east-coast lodges. Dive sites are reached by boat in 20 to 40 minutes or, for the Blue Cave and White Grass, by a short shore or shallow entry. The volcano is a separate land excursion.
