Tanna - Adventures, a Travel experience

Tanna Adventures - Map of Vanuatu showing Tanna Island

..... Tanna Island, Vanuatu.

Tanna lies in the southern group of islands of Vanuatu, but has an identity, culture and landscape all of its own. Relatively undeveloped, Tanna offers travellers a unique insight into both its untouched tropical countryside, of lush bush, stunning views and massive banyan trees, as well as its rich village life, culture and 'kastom'. The people of Tanna are welcoming, interested in all who visit, and go out of their way to help travellers enjoy their island.

...... 'Man Tanna' - The People.

It is the most populated island in the south, having > 20,000 "Man-Tanna", and is distinctive as the population is spread evenly over the islands interior as well as the coastal strip (Most tropical islands have their population mainly concentrated along their coastal fringes). The centre has a mild climate and rich fertile volcanic soils, and is a major coffee growing region which is gaining a strong following internationally.

It is the people that you remember. The genuine friendliness of the people that are encountered along the way, together with the insights to their customs and beliefs, is truely memorable and refreshing.

...... A Cultural Experience.

Most tourist information or promotion recommends that you try a cultural or community tour. However, in the end why anyone would visit Vanuatu without wanting to be immersed in the culture, the way of life and the 'kastom', is inexplicable.

From the moment that you get off the plane in Tanna, you are living and breathing it. The entire travel experience provides you with memorable insights that you will want to return to experience again.

Your Tanna Island Experience ........

Vanuatu is an enigma, on the one hand those who are unfamiliar, classify it alongside Fiji, Tahiti or the Cook Islands, while others identify it with the Solomons and Papua New Guinea. In fact Vanuatu is none of these, and yet has elements of all and so much more.

For most travellers, Port Vila is the first and only port of call on their 'Island' holiday. This is a great shame as there is so much more. The different islands have distinct flavours and sides to them. In Tanna, one experiences the sight of huge Banyan, and other tropical rainforest trees which fill the skies, natural bush which is full of tree ferns rather than palms, waterfalls and all types of fruit and vegetable subsistence crops.

A notable feature of Tanna, is the experience of steping back in time, where little or no modern technology is present.

It is the people that come to mind after visting this tropical haven. The travel experience is made richer for those who immerse themselves with the people of Tanna (Man-Tanna). For 'Tourists' (as distinct from 'Travellers'), the experience is likely to be similar to any region in the world where tourists confine themselves to Resorts and Hotels. However, for 'Travellers', those who extend themselves a little further, the rewards are immense. The genuine friendliness of the people that are encountered along the way, together with the insights to their customs and beliefs, is truely memorable and refreshing.
