Efate: Eden on the River's Kava Experience Tour with Transfers

Explore the gardens and orchards of Eden on the River in Efaté on an informative guided tour, with optional transfers from Port Vila. Learn about the traditional drink of kava, and enjoy a fruit platter.
On arrival at Eden on the River, guests will be met by our friendly, welcoming staff, who will brief them on the background of Eden & Yoku.

The tour will start at our reception and take guests on a short walk down to YoKu’s kava fields, where they will see how kava is grown. The guide will brief them about the ‘Noble” varieties of kava, and guests can see how the young plants are protected and raised in their early years. The walk will also pass through the kitchen garden, and they will see pepper and vanilla vines being grown, the pineapple plantation and local fruit and vegetables and see how they are grown.

Along the way, the tour guide will entertain guests with custom stories about kava and the cultural differences in how kava preparations and traditions vary across different islands. The walking tour will return to the café where guests will watch as kava is prepared in different ways and the guide will show some of the many products made from kava. If guests wish, they will also get to drink a small shell of kava. The kava drink will be accompanied by a “wasem moat”. “Wasem moat” is food or drink taken immediately after kava to remove the taste of kava from the mouth. Our wasem maot is served as a delicious tropical fruit-tasting platter. Following the demonstration, guests are then at their leisure for swimming or wandering the gardens and playground.
