Vanuatu is the birthplace of bungee jumping, inspired by the traditional land diving ceremony on Pentecost Island where men jump from tall wooden towers with vines tied to their ankles.
Mount Yasur on Tanna Island is one of the most accessible active volcanoes in the world, and visitors can stand on its rim.
Peering into the fiery crater of Mount Yasur at night is absolutely primal and unforgettable.
