Tanna - island of amazing culture and adventure

 Tanna's Lemnap underwater cave
If you are visiting Tanna, don't miss out on the following 3 fantastic tours which you can book via White Grass Ocean Resort.

YASUR VOLCANO SAFARI
6 HRS  VT9900pp min 2

Departing 2.00 pm.  Experience the awesome majesty of mighty Yasur Volcano.  Travel by 4wd to the far side of Tanna.  As you make your journey you will pass through villages and farms, visit the wild horses on White Grass Plains and midway through you will crest Mt. Loanialu where we stop for a photo opportunity of the distant volcano, black sand surf beaches and Sulphur Bay.  Enter Yasur village and trace your way across the moon like landscape of the ash plain.  Drive past a mighty waterfall (wet season) and through a lush rainforest before ascending the crater.  A short 10 min walk will take you to the rim of the crater where you will be able to wonder at the power of nature. Note: The weather conditions at the Volcano are unpredictable, the management accepts no responsibility for impaired viewing due to rain, cloud or wind conditions.  A jacket and walking shoes are recommended.


HORSERIDING at WHITE GRASS PLAINS or LENAKEL COVE 
3 hrs VT6500 pp min 2 people No child concession

Departing at 8.30am.  Enjoy a horseback experience Tanna style. You can either choose to saddle up right here at the Resort and ride up to the White Grass Plains. You will experience the magnificent coastal views. Or you can travel by 4wd to Lenakel Cove (20 mins drive each way) and then ride through forest paths to the forest where you will visit a magnificent Banyan tree (the largest in the Southern Hemisphere) and also enjoy amazing views along the coast from the high plateau.  Note: Horse riding is dangerous and at your own risk. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.


BLUE CAVE (Lemnap underwater cave)
4 hours –  Min 2. 7500vt pp  No Child Concession 

Depart resort at 8.00am.  The boatmen from the North will transport you by fishing boat along the magical limestone coast.  Along the way the boatmen may trawl Tanna style for Wahoo or Yellow Fin Tuna.  You will visit ancient caves and deserted beaches plus the amazing Lemnap (Blue) Cave, the highlight of your trip to North Tanna.  To access this remarkable natural cavern you will take a short dive underwater of approximately half a metre into the turquoise interior.   Here you will see that nature has created a stunning grotto, 60 metres in diameter, which is lit from above by a shaft of light filtering down through a 5 metre hole in the caves roof.  The effect is breathtaking.  Return to resort approx 12.30pm.  Remember to bring: Hat, sunscreen, towel, swimmers, mask, snorkel, waterproof camera. No child concession rate on this tour.  Note: A cancellation fee of 1800vt per person applies as we have no communication with North Tanna and must compensate the boatmans fuel should you wish to cancel.
