class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most attractive selling points of a trip to Vanuatu is how easy it is to get there. You can arrive in Port Vila (the capital on the main island of Efate) in just three hours by direct <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/flights\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flight<\/a> from Sydney with Jetstar or two-and-a-half hours from Brisbane, with Qantas and Virgin Australia. If you\u2019re looking for a stay on the more remote Espiritu Santo, you can travel with Solomon Airlines direct from Brisbane, twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in less than three hours. Add to that a 120-day tourist visa on arrival, and Vanuatu only gets more enticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The culture here is unlike anywhere else in the Pacific<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of Vanuatu\u2019s charm is its culture. The Ni-Vanuatu people are so well known for their easygoing, welcoming ways that they\u2019ve earned Vanuatu the title of \u2018Happiest Country in the World\u2019 by Happy Planet Index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kastom is a key part of Vanuatu life, comprising cultural practices including traditional dance, ceremonies and a deep connection to spirituality. On Pentecost Island, you can watch men jump from towering wooden scaffolds with vines tied to their ankles; known as Naghol (land diving), this rite of passage is also thought to procure a fruitful yam harvest. In the Vanuatu National Museum in Port Vila, learn all about the mesmerising geometry and single-stroke storytelling of sand drawing \u2013 a <a href=\"https:\/\/ich.unesco.org\/en\/RL\/vanuatu-sand-drawings-00073\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ich.unesco.org\/en\/RL\/vanuatu-sand-drawings-00073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNESCO<\/a> Intangible Cultural Heritage-recognised art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important traditions is the preparation of kava. No doubt familiar to travellers who\u2019ve visited other South Pacific destinations, the kava root is a peppery base for this cultural drink, used as readily in ceremonies as it is in social settings. A visit to one of Port Vila\u2019s \u2018nakamal\u2019 kava bars will give you a chance to taste this uniquely earthy, tingly brew as you learn more about the process and its significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From blue holes to deserted outer islands \u2013 the landscapes are next level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/vanuatu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Espiritu-Santo-Matevulu-Rope-Swing-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Rope swing at Matevulu, Espiritu Santo, one of the reasons to go to Vanuatu - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-53381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Espiritu-Santo-Matevulu-Rope-Swing-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Espiritu-Santo-Matevulu-Rope-Swing-2-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Espiritu-Santo-Matevulu-Rope-Swing-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Espiritu-Santo-Matevulu-Rope-Swing-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Matevulu rope swing, Espiritu Santo.

The SS President Coolidge, off the shores of Espiritu Santo, is one of the world\u2019s most accessible wreck dives. This one-time luxury liner met its fate in World War II, and today offers thrilling descents with eye-catching corals reclaiming the hull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snorkelling is just as exciting, with the thriving reef of Hideaway Island easily accessible from the shores of Port Vila. Here, visitors can post special waterproof postcards at the world\u2019s only \u2018underwater post office\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back on land, there is a plethora of hiking trails to enjoy. The best are often the ones you won\u2019t find on any tourist maps, so be sure to ask the locals for their favourite river walks and waterfall trails \u2013 most of them won\u2019t take you too far from the beaten path, but the discovery is half the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Positioned on the Pacific \u2018Ring of Fire\u2019, Vanuatu also has several active volcanoes (including some underwater). One of the most easily reached is Mount Yasur on the southeastern island of Tanna. Standing at 361 metres above sea level, the rim of Yasur\u2019s 400-metre-wide crater is accessible with a licensed guide. The hot tip is to plan your visit for sunset, when the darkening night sky throws the glowing lava into stark relief (as an active volcano, it\u2019s important to check with Vanuatu Tourism Office ahead of any planned visit: weather conditions and volcanic forecasts may preclude visitor access at any time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_e3c3f7b66608da4d68c16d0bd97cafab\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide lux_dealcard_gallery\" data-lux-event=\"gallery_carousel\" data-lux-event-trigger=\"splide-moved\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers\"><div class=\"splide__arrows\"><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/experience\/le-ao-vanuatu-jungle-zipline-may26\/led:006RF00000WkPU4YAN\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"experience \" data-name=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\"><div class=\"splide__track\"><div class=\"splide__list\"><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/qh767lg5noyqnubw6lgq.jpeg\" alt=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers 1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/950g71eg19y05cq9eml.jpeg\" alt=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers 2\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/1a8mavz6zpq8n0uxryo.jpeg\" alt=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers 3\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/wp5361ffvzmsfiz25wj.jpeg\" alt=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers 4\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/l91vel9lwh7mv3ugtwq6.jpeg\" alt=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers 5\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/3re8io60hje849vlhnm.jpeg\" alt=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers 6\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/srbrk6z08nl8iuqe8ad.jpeg\" alt=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers 7\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_details\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/experience\/le-ao-vanuatu-jungle-zipline-may26\/led:006RF00000WkPU4YAN\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"experience deal_card\" data-name=\"Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t\t<div class=\"dealcard_details_inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>The Summit, Devil\u2019s Point Road, Mele, Vanuatu (20 minutes by car from Port Vila)<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Thrilling Rainforest Zipline Experience with Skybridge Entry &#038; Transfers<\/div><div class=\"highlight_box\"><div class=\"highlight_txt\">Gifting Available<\/div><\/div><div class=\"deal_info\"><div class=\"nights\">from<\/div><div class=\"range\"><span class=\"currency\">US<\/span><span class=\"price\">$97<\/span><span class=\"type\"> \/Person<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tax\">Taxes &#038; fees apply<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<span class=\"btn_view_offer\">View offer<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The resorts are reason enough to come back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your travel style, Vanuatu\u2019s three main islands offer resort relaxation, adrenaline-fuelled adventure and immersion in nature.
