Yasur Backpackers Treehouses

About This Experience

Perched in the jungle within view of the rumbling slopes of Mt Yasur, Yasur Backpackers Treehouses offer one of the most raw and unforgettable stays on Tanna. Choose from three treehouses or a mix of private and dorm bungalows, and fall asleep to the low roar of one of the world's most active volcanoes. It's rugged, it's real, and it's as close to an authentic Ni-Vanuatu jungle experience as it gets.

Welkam! Please send us your booking request using the form below, and we’ll get back to you with availability. As we say in Vanuatu, tankiu tumas!

It's not just a straight run either. Along the way we can stop at:
  • Local markets to pick up snacks and water
  • Stop where people plant their kava to explain more about one of Vanuatu's most iconic crops
  • Scenic lookouts for photos
  • The ash plains surrounding Mt Yasur

Yasur Backpackers Yasur Volcano Tour

Our Yasur Volcano tour is unlike anything else on Tanna. Led by Philip, a volcanologist, we take a different trail to the standard tours, with safety gear including helmets and masks provided throughout. Along the way you'll stop for fresh coconuts, take in ancient banyan trees, and walk the dramatic ash plain back to the accommodation. Choose the sunrise tour and head out in the opposite direction for the most spectacular glowing crater views. 13,000 VT per person.

More Tours by Yasur Backpackers Treehouses

Beyond your volcano nights, we offer a full range of tours across Tanna — from cannibal tours and the Sulphur Bay hot springs to the Imaio cultural village, Nazareth Twin Waterfalls, banyan trekking, and our highly recommended Village Experience Tour, where you can learn about weaving, laplap-making, and daily life on the island. Just let us know what interests you when you book and we'll sort the rest.
