Vanuatu recommended for sports and activity breaks by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Travellers looking for a break offering the opportunity to try or watch sporting events against the backdrop of spectacular scenery have been encouraged to consider a trip to Vanuatu, an island nation in the South Pacific.

The local tourist board highlighted a number of events that it claims make Vanuatu "the perfect destination for travellers looking for active and adventurous holidays".

From April to June every year, Pentecost attracts visitors who want to witness the tradition of land diving, which sees local men and young boys jumping from manmade towers of up to 30 metres in height with only a vine attached to their legs.

Over the three-month period, a festival honouring the custom will feature events at Lonorore airport on Saturdays, Rangusuksu village on Thursdays and Londot village on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Another highlight for visitors to look out for is the Vanuatu Adventure Race, a challenge combining trekking, swimming, abseiling, kayaking, snorkelling and archery that will come to Unity Park in Luganville on 24 May and the Port Vila Holiday Inn on 27 May.

The Vanuatu Open Water Swim will also be returning this year, with three swims in two destinations - Port Vila (9 June) and Espiritu Santo (12 June).

Travellers can catch flights to the island nation with carriers such as Emirates, Qantas and Air New Zealand.
