Activities While Vacationing in Vanuatu

Vanuatu, meaning “rising land,” is a true tropical paradise located in the South Pacific. This island nation is a little more than a thousand miles east of the north coast of Australia. All of the 83 islands have a tropical or a subtropical environment, which makes it perfect for a relaxing getaway. Visitors to the island nation can keep busy with a variety of fun and exciting activities.

No matter what you think of regarding the “perfect vacation”, a trip to Vanuatu will exceed even your greatest expectations. Look at all the different things you can do!

Popular Vanuatu Activities

Golf

If your idea of a great vacation is hitting the links and playing a few rounds of golf, then you are going to love your trip to Vanuatu. Here, you can find great golf courses, including the Port Vila Golf and Country Club (opened in 1984), which is the home of the Tusker Vanuatu Golf Open, which attracts amateurs and professionals alike.

Sailing

Instead of putting on the green, you might want to skim along the blue in a sailing vessel that darts between the islands. You can relax and let others do the sailing or get in on the action and try your hand on deck. You can even book a sunset cruise with that special someone and take a relaxing sail to watch as the sun dips gently into the ocean.

Fishing

The waters off Vanuatu are some of the best sport fishing grounds in the world. You can charter any number of large, professional boats in your quest to land a huge fish. Big eye tuna, striped Marlin, and sailfish are only a few of the fish available in this area.

Diving and Snorkeling

Perhaps you would rather be under the sea diving or snorkeling, than sailing along on the surface. If this is the case, then you are going to love the clear blue waters around all of the Vanuatu islands. You can explore the coral, as well as shipwrecks, and meet some of the native marine life face to face.

Exploring and Hiking

One of the great things about all of the different islands in the Vanuatu archipelago is that there is always something new to see and explore, and it is easy to get to the islands. Packing a picnic lunch and trekking through some of the lush interiors on the volcanic islands is a favorite activity of vacationers to the islands.

These are just a few of Vanuatu activities that vacationers can do while vacationing in this tropical paradise.
