Ipikel Hot Springs

Ipikel Hot Springs on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu are natural geothermal springs where chloride-rich water surfaces in the volcanic landscape of one of the most culturally significant islands in the Pacific archipelago. Pentecost Island is world-renowned as the birthplace of bungee jumping — the traditional Naghol land-diving ceremony practised by the Sa people inspired the modern extreme sport — and the island's hot springs are part of this remarkable traditional cultural environment. The combination of active geothermal water, extraordinary traditional culture, and the lush tropical landscape of central Vanuatu makes Ipikel a uniquely Melanesian thermal experience.
