Hike through original old-growth forest in the company of a local guide. Your guide will show you some of the oldest trees on the island and you will learn about the endemic plants and their use during past and present times in Melanesian culture. Take photos of the seaside cliffs along the way and enjoy some refreshments afterwards.
Please note: Please realistically assess your physical fitness and ability prior to booking, as the walk is uphill, over unpaved, rough walking tracks with many steps. Modest attire is required for visiting local villages; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered; short shorts and swimwear are not allowed. It is important to ask permission before taking an individual's photograph. The coach is not air-conditioned or equipped with a PA system. Local escorts and students will act as guides who will do their best to speak English, but please keep in mind that the limited tourism infrastructure is part of Lifou's charm. Restroom facilities are rustic. Wear comfortable walking shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, bring a hat, sunscreen and bottled water.
