Local Ni-Van

Village Walk

To get a taste for life in a modern Ni-Vanuatu village you can go for a walk through nearby Mele  village. We find most people come back amazed at the spirit of happiness and contentment these people exude. Although for many, English is their 3rd or 4th language, you'll find most happy to stop for a talk once they overcome their shyness. The adventurous are free to stop at a kava bar, where the traditional version of the national drink is available. A relaxant that is now being sold as a sedative, it's an experience that defies description.

Melanesian Feast

Enjoy the pageantry of an authentic Melanesian feast. Mele villagers prepare a selection of fresh local dishes and serve them by an open fire. You'll be treated to selection of authentic Melanesian music, together with local dance. And don't be surprised if you find yourself joining in, particularly after tasting a shell of kava provided for your enjoyment.

Definitely an experience not to be missed!
