The popular Lenuanatuaiu Waterfall is a short walk from an extensive escarpment where travellers take in panoramic views. The walk provides a great outlook of island scenery & tropical bush, while the waterfall displays untouched landscapes.

Tour Features.

Travel Along Tanna island’s Northeastern Coast.

Participants are transferred to boat near to the airport and transported along the coast to the islands northern tip where the Blue cave is located. The rugged shoreline incorporates large coral outcroppings that are interspersed with small localised beaches, and a coastal terrain backdrop that rises sharply, covered in thick tropical bush. Except for an occasional village on isolated beaches that are constructed in traditional Tannese fashion, the area typifies that encountered on more remote Melanesian islands.

At the Blue Hole

The Blue Hole is located at a prominent promontory at the Tanna’s northern tip and a significant Northern village occurs on the plateau some distance back from it. On a fine day, the water leading to the Blue Hole itself takes on a vivid, rich hue that announces the presence of the natural formation.

Entrance to the cave is through an opening to the sea which is subject to tidal levels, and the opening may be completely below the prevailing sea level or at a level where visitors can comfortably paddle through. Cave guides, provided by the kastom owners are present to help visitors through.

Inside the cave, the mood mirrors that of the day outside, determined by sunlight pouring through the oculus-like skylight the arched roof structure. On bright sunny days where the sun is high in the sky, strong shafts of sunlight can be witnessed, providing a cathedral-like appearance that is accompanied by a reflection of the sky in the still water of the cave. The effect is varied and also depends on the season and tides, ensuring that each visit is different from the last. On overcast days the mood of the cave is more sombre, but can produce a more surreal atmosphere.

Snorkelling on Coral Reefs on the Return Trip

While visitors do not generally come to Tanna for watersports, there are some excellent coral reefs near to the pickup/return points, and depending on weather, tides and time, there may be an opportunity have a brief snorkel amongst the tropical waters before returning.
