Erakor Lagoon
Vibrant turquoise waters and reef systems visible immediately after departing Port Vila.
Efate Southern Coast

Erromango Jungle
Expansive views of one of Vanuatu's most pristine and dense tropical forest canopies.
Mount Santop
The high volcanic peaks of central Erromango appearing during the descent phase.
