Description
Discover the culture and nature of Vanuatu on a full-day tour from Port Vila. Visit the Isle of Chocolate Factory, explore the Pepeyo Cultural Village, and swim at the Rarru Waterfall.
Begin your adventure with a visit to the Isle of Chocolate Factory. Enjoy a tasting session of hand-crafted, bean-to-bar artisanal chocolate made entirely in Vanuatu from locally grown cocoa beans. Sample up to 13 different chocolate varieties, guided by knowledgeable multilingual staff. After the tour, stop by the on-site café and handicraft shop.
Next, head to Pepeyo Cultural Village, located about 12 km inland from Port Vila in the rainforest community of Teouma. Be welcomed with traditional warrior displays featuring clubs, spears, bows, and arrows. Learn about pre-contact practices, such as hunting methods and local ways to test for poisonous fish, and hear tales from Vanuatu’s past, including cannibalism stories and tribal survival techniques.
Finally, visit Rarru Cascades, a locally owned natural pool and waterfall complex. Reach it via a short (~10 min) level walk through verdant foliage. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the cascades, which flow year-round, even more reliably than at Mele Cascades, thanks to its rainforest source.
