Offered in: English

Join us at south Efaté’s most established attraction, for an interactive and informative experience all about kava, a traditional drink that plays an important role in Vanuatu Kastom and daily life.
The tour includes a short walk down to our kava fields, learning about the ‘Noble” varieties of kava, and see how the young plants are protected and raised in their early years. Passing through the kitchen garden, see pepper and vanilla vines being grown, the pineapple plantation and more. Be entertained with stories about kava across different islands. After the walk watch as kava is prepared in different ways and see some of the products made from kava. If you wish, enjoy a small shell of kava followed by a “wasem moat”, a food or drink taken immediately after to remove the taste of kava, served as a delicious tropical fruit-tasting platter.
Afterwards enjoy a leisurely swim or wander the gardens and playground.
