Malampa Volcano and Kastom Package- West Ambrym & North Malekula
This is an excellent package for keen walkers and adventure-seekers who want to fully encounter the unique cultural and geological wonders of Malampa. Beginning your adventure on Ambrym, traverse the volcanic caldera of the 'the black island', trekking from Port Vato in the west to the remote north. En route camp on the edge of the caldera and experience the atmospheric lunar-like ash plains then climb up both Mount Benbow and Mount Marum to view their bubbling caldrons of lava - if you dare! On your fourth day trek down to the west coast and relax at Ranon Beach Bungalows. The following day see the famous Fanla Rom cloaked dancers perform on their sacred dancing ground then return to Craig Cove on a scenic boat trip passing the spectacular strata of ash layers along the shoreline. After an overnight stay and relaxing soak in the natural hot springs at Ter Ter fly to Malekula to begin your next island adventure. After a night in Norsup cross over the 'dog's neck' to the west coast and trek through beautiful limestone cascades of the Losinwei River then visit the Nasara of the Big Nambas Amokh people to watch their rhythmic tribal dancing. After a relaxing overnight stay at Dram Dram Bungalows return to the east coast to visit the Smol Nambas people of Rano mainland and hear their stories while observing their way of life. Your trip concludes with a cannibal site tour visiting the eerie remains of victims left scattered next to the ‘cannibal kitchen’ and the skulls of chiefs of the past inside their monumental stone graves.
