PENAMA Province

The Province is comprised of three islands: Pentecost, Ambae and Maewo. Pentecost is the world famous home of the land diving festival known locally as nagol, which takes place on Saturdays April through June, when the necessary local materials are in season.

Ambae plays host to the live volcano Mt. Monaro Voui, which displaced many communities from the island when it erupted in 2017. Maewo, which is one of Vanuatu's most remote large islands, offers unique cultural festivals, a massive waterfall and challenging hikes to secluded villages.
