Olsem wanem? Mi glad tumas blong mitim yu. A couple of cute phrases you will hear in Bislama when visiting Vanuatu. They mean How are you? and Pleased to meet you. In former New Hebrides the language itself is happy and so are the people. It is no coincidence that Vanuatu is ranked as one of the Happiest Nations in the World. Here you can tick off your bucket list items, by going on a Mount Yasur volcano hike, diving among shipwrecks, dancing with the local tribe, and swimming in Blue holes.
If you are a beach lover, visit one of the best beaches in the World – Champagne Beach. Witness warm hospitality, breathtaking landscapes, and the centuries-old tradition of Nagol or Land Diving on Pentecost Island. A rite of passage ritual that inspired what we know today as bungee jumping.
