Mountain biking and river kayaking are also on offer in addition to sublime fishing and diving. Visit Pentecost Island to witness Nangol or land diving, where local boys and men jump off wooden towers with just two tree vines wrapped around their ankles – the ritual that gave kiwi AJ Hackett the idea for bungee jumping.
