How to get to Mt Yasur and Tanna Lava View
From Port Vila to our bungalows in Isaka Village: flights, transfers, the drive and what to bring.
The journey
Port Vila → Tanna → Isaka
Fly Port Vila to Tanna
Domestic flights connect Port Vila (Bauerfield) with Tanna's Whitegrass Airport on the west coast. Book early in the dry season.
Meet us at Whitegrass
Return airport transfers are included in the 1-night stay package and can be arranged on request with other bookings. Send us your flight details when you book.
Drive across the island
The drive to Isaka takes about an hour and a half by 4WD, through forest and villages and across the volcanic ash plain. After rain, tracks can be rough and creeks run high.
Plan ahead
Money, seasons and packing
Bring cash in vatu
We don't take cards. You can pay at the bungalow in cash or by bank transfer before you arrive. Banks and ATMs are far from the volcano, so change money in Port Vila.
Best time to visit
The dry season, May to October, is the most comfortable time for walking and tours. Volcano visits depend on the official alert level on the day.
What to pack
- Light clothes plus a warm layer for the crater rim
- Closed shoes and a rain jacket
- Swimwear, reef shoes and snorkel gear
- Sunscreen, hat and insect repellent
- A torch or headlamp
- A cloth or bag to keep ash off your camera
Travel questions
How do I get from Whitegrass Airport to Mt Yasur?
By 4WD across the island, about an hour and a half to Isaka, where Tanna Lava View sits in front of the volcano. Transfers are included in our 1-night package, and we can arrange them on request with other bookings.
Can I visit Mt Yasur as a day trip from Port Vila?
It's possible, but staying a night or two in front of the volcano means you see it at dusk and after dark without the rush, and you have time for Tanna's other highlights.
Is there phone signal and internet?
Please ask us when you book, so we can tell you what to expect during your stay.
How far ahead should I book?
We have just two bungalows, so book as early as you can, especially for the dry season. You can check live availability at any time.
