Explore Vanuatu with Benny's Royal Tours: Unforgettable Journey from Cochin to Port Vila, Luganville and Tanna Island

Vanuatu is a hidden gem in the South Pacific, a cluster of islands that promises adventure, culture, and tranquility. Your journey begins in Port Vila, the vibrant capital. Here, the blend of traditional and colonial influences creates an eclectic atmosphere, where you can browse local crafts at the markets or sip on kava at a roadside stand. A guided tour of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre provides a fascinating glimpse into the archipelago’s history and cultural diversity.

From the city's hustle and bustle, venture into the serene beauty of Mele Cascades. The cascading waterfalls invite you for a dip in their refreshing pools. As the afternoon sun filters through the tropical canopy, it's easy to understand why this spot is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.

Next, we head to the northern island of Espiritu Santo. The flight to Luganville reveals verdant landscapes and the pristine coastline. Luganville, once a strategic base during World War II, now attracts divers from around the world to explore the SS President Coolidge wreck. This colossal ship is an underwater museum, where divers can discover coral-encrusted cannons, trucks, and even an elaborate mosaic mural. The nearby Nanda Blue Hole offers a contrasting experience, where you can swim or kayak in aquamarine waters surrounded by jungle.

On your second day in Luganville, the Millennium Cave tour promises adventure in the island’s interior. Traverse bamboo bridges, wade through rivers, and float down a jungle gorge. The thrill of this journey is matched only by its stunning natural beauty. Once back in town, relax on Champagne Beach. Its powdery white sand and gentle surf provide a peaceful retreat.

Tanna Island, the next destination, is known for its rugged landscapes and the remarkable Mount Yasur. As you stand at the edge of this volcano's crater at dusk, the frequent eruptions illuminate the night sky in a fiery spectacle. A tour of a traditional Yakel village reveals another side of Tanna. Meet the tribe's elders, participate in dance ceremonies, and learn how they live harmoniously with nature.

Back in Port Vila, the final day offers an opportunity to explore Hideaway Island’s marine sanctuary. Snorkel among colorful fish, send a postcard from the underwater post office, or relax on the island’s coral beaches.

In just a week, this tour showcases Vanuatu’s incredible variety. Whether it's the warmth of the people, the thrill of its volcanoes, or the serene beauty of its lagoons, you'll return home with memories to treasure.
