Tafea

The southernmost province of Vanuatu, where Mount Yasur volcano on Tanna and traditional kastom culture leave a deep impression.

Tafea Province consists of five inhabited islands: Tanna, Erromango, Aneityum, Futuna and Aniwa, with the name formed from the first letters of each island. Tanna is the main draw for travelers: in the evening you can climb to the rim of Mount Yasur to watch lava erupt, and the island's villages preserve traditional customs and are the birthplace of the John Frum movement. Mystery Island, near Aneityum, is a frequent cruise-ship stop. The dry season from May to October is the more comfortable time to visit. Visitors usually take a domestic flight from Port Vila to Tanna.
