Blue Cave.

If you’re staying on the island and have the time, we would highly recommend a visit to the stunning Blue Cave. You will travel by a boat to the small cave opening which is accessed by swimming under half a meter of water. The gorgeous grotto is lit from above by a shaft of light filtering down through a hole in the cave’s roof. The effect is absolutely magical

Vanuatu natives wear beautiful, hand-made outfits such as fiber skirts and flower halos. They accent their outfits with colorful accessories such as jewelry and flowers. Some women, instead of wearing fiber skirts wear brilliantly, colored flowered dresses. For ceremonies, women and men don face paint, necklaces and jewelry, and flower halos. For certain ceremonies some tribes add feathers to their outfits. Everyone wears gorgeously bright, vibrant colors that add to the unique, fascinating culture of Vanuatu.

Vanuatu is a Pacific island adventure far beyond any notions of cruise-ship ports and flashy resorts. Deserted beaches, ancient culture, remote and rugged islands and world-class diving are just a small part of the magnetism of this scattered 80-plus island archipelago.

Where else can you hike up a crater to stare down into a magma-filled active volcano then ashboard back down, snorkel in a blue hole and drink kava with the local village chief – all in the same day? The resorts and restaurants of Port Vila have little in common with traditional kastom (custom) village life in the outer islands, but it's contrasts like these that make Vanuatu a surprise and a challenge.

Vanuatu was slammed by Cyclone Pam in 2015, but the ni-Van people, resilient and laid-back as ever, take life in smiling strides.

It takes a little time, effort and a healthy sense of adventure to truly explore Vanuatu's islands, but it's worth every bit of it.

Savary 🤤 Vanuatu 🇻🇺

Yasur is an active stratovolcano. It began erupting some time before 1774 (Captain Cook made the first report) and has be going every since. It has had, at times, a lava lake at a central vent. Some phreatic explosive eruptions have occurred. Eruptions tend to be Strombolian, tossing out bombs, or mild Vulcanian explosions. Ash clouds have reached elevations of 6,500 feet (2,000 m). Yasur has caused damage and been associated with a tsunami. There have been at least three deaths at Yasur in recent years.
Yasur is 245 miles (390 km) south-southeast of Ambrym.

Portrait of chieftain Etul in front of the nakamal, Ambrym island, Fanla, Vanuatu
Yafukon Etul , chief of Fanla village was around 80. He died in 2008.

He was one of the most respected chief in Ambrym. The statues are very impressive. The pig teeth he's got on his chest has a great value.

In Ambrym, there is almost no car because there is absolutely no road. Most villages have nakamals, which are village clubhouses. They serve as a meeting point for men and as a place to drink the typical kava beverage. Kava is made from the roots of the pepper plant. It is served in a shell and drunk in one go. It is said to relax the nervous system and anesthetize the mouth. Like in Malekula, they have headed tamtams and statues. Villagers make many beautiful wood carvings. The wood is sculpted and each representation on it has a meaning. The eyes of the statues are in a half-moon shape, its surroundings symbolize the clouds in the sky, and the red circles filled with white colour on the body are the representation of a fruit called « wayou ». The grade statues are carved out of the tree-fern’s trunks, on the occasion of the grade-taking ceremony. The ritual also includes the sacrifice of pigs or boars and feast giving. The pig tusks some people sport on their chest has a great value. The ones which make a whole circle are very rare, since it takes up to 40 years to get it from a pig. It is weared by the chiefs and often represented on the statues. When Queen Elisabeth visited Vanuatu years ago, she was offered a tusk coiled 3 times on itself, which is exceptional. People also believe in magic stones, supposed to make them invisible, that they hide in the forest. Actually, Ambrym is full of believes and magic. The Rom dance is an initiation dance performed during the grade-taking ceremonies called Maghe. Women are not allowed to share the dance, but only men. The Rom masks are used for each ceremony. The body of the dancer is covered with leaves, which makes sound effects when they move. Nobody knows who is under it. When the dance is over, the masks are burnt. For marriages, tons of bananas, manioc and other products are offered to the couple. The bride and groom stay under a tent where all the village comes to make gifts. They are covered by talc by the mother of the bride. To be married, a girl usually costs around 8 pigs and 1000 euros to the prospective husband, which is a huge amount in Vanuatu.
