About This Experience
Standing at the edge of one of the world's most accessible active volcanoes is something you won't forget. Mt Yasur on Tanna Island has been erupting almost continuously since Captain Cook recorded it in 1774, and today you can walk right up to the rim and watch it roar. Five active vents putting on a show of glowing lava and billowing ash clouds just metres away.

"what_to_expect": "<div>The journey to the volcano takes around 20 minutes by vehicle, followed by a short 3 to 4 minute drive to the base car park and a 5-minute walk to the first lookout. From there, your guide leads the group across a rocky path to the viewing areas, two of the three lookouts are included on the standard walk. The guide leads at all times and sets the pace throughout.</div><div><br></div><div>At the rim, the volcano puts on a show that varies every visit. Yasur has up to five active vents producing two types of eruptions: Strombolian bursts where glowing magma bubbles and sprays lava bombs into the air, and Vulcanian explosions that blast through blocked vents, sending bombs and ash clouds skyward. Erupted magma reaches up to 1,000°C, and lava bombs can remain extremely hot for up to an hour after landing.<br><br></div><div>Tours run from 4:30 pm until 6:30 pm. Each time offers a completely different atmosphere, and the entry pricing reflects repeat visits, with reduced rates for second and third visits and a free fourth visit.<br><br></div><div>Before heading out, all participants sign a liability and indemnity form. On the walk, your guide will brief you on safety and lead the group the entire way. Lava bombs can land at any time with little warning, the crater edge is unstable, and conditions can change quickly, so following guide instructions throughout is essential.</div>",

The smoke colour may change during your visit depending on the volcano’s activity and wind direction. If sulphur fumes blow towards you, turn away from the smoke and follow your guide’s safety instructions.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What should I bring to Mt Yasur?</strong></div><div>Wear sturdy shoes and bring a torch, a jacket, a hat or cap, and a mask if you have one.
