Product Description
Air Taxi Vanuatu is part of the Vanuatu Air Charters Group. It had its beginnings in 2007 when two pilots, Wayne Allport and Simon Turner decided to start their own airline. They purchased and then flew a Maule Seaplane off the Waitara River, near New Plymouth, New Zealand and ferried it 1300 naut1cal miles to Port Vila in Vanuatu.
The Company, then known as Vanuatu Seaplanes flew scenic fights and volcano tours from the beach off Iririki Island in Port Vila Harbour for several years.

Vanuatu Volcano Overnight Tour from Port Vila to Tanna Island’s Mt Yasur Volcano
It is generally agreed that the Mt Yasur Volcano is best viewed at night; the explosive molten magma displays are truly awesome. Our Tanna Overnight Tour from Port Vila allows you to view the volcano both during the daytime and after dark, when the natural fireworks show is at its most spectacular.
After departure from Port Vila, we set course direct to Mt Yasur Volcano, on the south eastern side of Tanna Island. This track takes you directly over exotic Erromango Island, which is about half way to Tanna. Once we reach the north coast of Tanna we fly you down the rarely visited east coast, towards Mt Yasur Volcano. After a few minutes, the volcano ash plain comes into view, then Mt Yasur Volcano itself. You are then treated to an aerial view right down into its fiery heart. Peering down into an active volcano is sure to be one of the most incredible sights you will ever witness from the air. We then swoop low over remote villages on approach to Tanna Airport.
After landing on Tanna, you will be transferred to your resort for check-in, before heading off on the extraordinary Mt Yasur Volcano Safari. Upon reaching the volcano, your experienced guide will walk with you to the crater’s edge, for a sunset to remember and one of the most breath-taking natural shows you’re ever likely to witness!
Later on, relax and enjoy a night at one of Tanna’s best resorts, Evergreen Resort. The next morning, after breakfast, you’ll be transferred to Tanna Airport to board your aircraft. Approximately one hour later, you will touch down in Port Vila, stocked with sensational photos and unforgettable memories.
A tour to Tanna Volcano is a once in a lifetime “bucket list” experience. It’s not often in life you get the chance to witness such a spectacle. Visitors to Tanna Volcano come from all walks of life. The tour is suitable for all ages. Don’t be afraid of the climb to the top of the volcano as it is not arduous or long.

Vanuatu Volcano Day Tour from Port Vila to Tanna Island’s Mt Yasur Volcano
A tour to Tanna Island to view Vanuatu’s famous Mt Yasur Volcano is an experience of a lifetime. Mt Yasur Volcano, on the southern Vanuatu island of Tanna, is probably the archipelago’s most iconic landmark, and justly so. The locals cannot remember a time when Tanna Volcano wasn’t coughing up its blazing entrails, shooting lava bombs and a volcanic ash cloud hundreds of meters into the air, every few minutes. Leaving Vanuatu without having witnessed ‘up close and personal’ the Mt Yasur Volcano fireworks phenomena is akin to not seeing the Eiffel Tower when visiting Paris!
Our Day Tour now includes a Scenic Flight OVER Mt Yasur!
