Search flights from TAH to AUY
Mount Yasur
One of the world's most accessible active volcanoes, often visible with ash plumes or steam rising from its crater.
Mount Toukosmera
Tanna's highest peak, a majestic extinct volcano covered in dense, primeval tropical rainforest.
Port Resolution
The historic bay where Captain Cook anchored, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and white steam vents on the beach.
Aneityum Highlands
Breathtaking views of the southern island's mountainous spine and ancient sandalwood forests.
Anelghowhat Bay
The main settlement of Aneityum nestled between high mountains and a sheltered turquoise bay.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Yasur shortly after takeoff from Tanna. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes and the volcanic ash clouds. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane reaches cruising altitude, as the flight duration is very short (around 20-30 minutes).

Tanna West Coast
Beautiful stretches of black volcanic sand beaches and small coastal villages.
Vanuatu Trench
Deep blue waters of the Coral Sea where the ocean floor drops significantly between the islands.
Mystery Island
The stunning, uninhabited white-sand islet of Inyeug where the airport is actually located.
Aneityum Reefs
Extensive coral reef systems visible through the crystal-clear water during the final descent.
The right side is superior for the final approach into Aneityum (Mystery Island). As the plane descends toward the tiny coral atoll, you will see the vibrant contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow turquoise reefs. Sit here if you prefer views of the infinite Pacific horizon and the final island landing sequence.
