The Ngol (land diving) is a tradition on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. I learned about it watching a documentary one evening in my little coastal apartment in Northern California. And I thought, what if I could go there? Then, I did! This post describes the adventure.
The Eton Blue Lagoon is fed by an underwater spring and saltwater from the ocean. The rustic and incredibly well-maintained tables, bathrooms, and changing houses are managed by local village guys. Read about how one of them taught me how to climb trees again!
On the way to Vanuatu, three planes and twenty hours in the air, I felt a familiar combination of excitement, self-doubt, and absolute certainty that this was where I was meant to be. I touched down and Port Vila was far less developed than I expected and the people and tourists are open and warm. Click to read more about my first impressions.
