Vanuatu

Far removed from the familiar cruising circuit, this South Pacific nation is a hidden jewel. One of our favorite dive/snorkel destinations, Vanuatu offers enchanting surprises and unforgettable memories to those who journey here.

Friendly locals, untouched diving locations, spectacular volcanos and distant isles are key features of this wonderful Melanesian nation.
