Pentecost is quite nice but not much to do apart from watching the landdiving. These guys are maniacs I can tell you. I have Bungy Jumped but I would never do what they do. The water is nice but hard to get into as the (beach?) and in the water is full of large pebbles and very hard on the feet. I fully recommend the reef shoes here. We left ours on the ship and boy did I regret it.

I loved Pentecoste. Apart from the rocky beach (we had our sandle, so rocks weren't too much of a problem), the beach was lovely for swimming. There's a large reef close in shore with lots of fish swimming in around it. I regreted not having any snorkel gear that day. Most people went to the land diving, had a swim and then went back to the ship for lunch and stayed there. We went back for lunch and then went back and had a walk around the village and along the beach... There was only a handful of ship's passengers and crew on the island at the time, and it was magical just to walk along the beach - we didn't even mind getting caught in a tropical rain storm.

 

The land diving is something to be seen. Takes a lot of guts for them to do what they do - and the scaffolding that the jump from is impressive too - especially when you realise that they build it from scratch every year as a part of the ritual.

Sorry to hear that you can't go on the Dawn next year Aussie84, I would be devastated if I couldn't go, what a shame. Ah well, I am sure you would enjoy the other cruise from what I've heard.

If Pentecoste Island is one of the ports on the cruise you will see the land diving. The cruises only go to Pentecoste during the land diving "season"- April to August/September.
