Details About Wala Island

Destinations » Hawaii and South Pacific » South Pacific » Wala Island


For a tropical island that's so small and remote - and barely rates a mention in the guide books - Vanuatu's Wala (pronounced Wolla) is a revelation for passengers wanting to know more about Melanesian way of life - past and present. Separated from a much larger Malekula Island (south of Espiritu Santo in the country's north) by a deep passage, Wala is a primitive spot, as if cocooned from 21st century ideals.

Attractions

Expect to learn plenty on a guided walk around the village. Traditional ceremonies are put on for the guests along with demonstrations on the art of hunting and cooking. Set aside time for a swim or sail from the beach; it can be very steamy during the summer and a cool dip is often essential.
