Creator's Key Takeaways

Um island in Vanuatu is our first port of call. It is a sacred place to visit and volcanic known for black sand beaches and the traditional Ram dance.

We're going to be arriving into the north side just down here onto Black Volcanic Beach. We're going to have our first wet landing.

So within Renon Village, that's the village nearby, not too far away, but we'll be able to see the homes and how people live here in rural marketing.

Snorkel conditions, we have swells of less than 1 meter, but again coming from the opposite side. That is also in our favor.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Attend every briefing because ports-of-call depend on winds and sea currents.
Pay attention to snorkel times and conditions in each briefing.
Recognize that a dollar US is about 100 of the local Vanuatu currency for shopping.
