Mt Garet Gaua Island<br />
Mt Yasur, Tanna Island<br />
Mount Garet Hike, Gaua<br />
Rising from the sea in the north of Vanuatu’s<br />
archipelago, Gaua is the country’s unofficial adventure<br />
capital. Mount Garet is the island’s highest peak,<br />
an active somma volcano (it last erupted in 2011)<br />
surrounded by a horseshoe caldera, the beautiful Lake<br />
Letas. Travellers can embark on a 3-day hike to climb<br />
and explore Mount Garet. You’ll climb to 711 metres<br />
above sea level, see bubbling lava and volcanic mud<br />
pools and swim beneath the stunning Santa Maria<br />
waterfall (but not directly beneath…it is 120-metres<br />
high). At night, sit around the campfire on the shores of<br />
Lake Letas and swap stories with your local guides.<br />
