Big Nambas Tour at Mae - Nalint Culture

The Big Nambas Tour at Mae takes you back to a time when the this tribe were fearsome warriors and cannibals. Their custom has a distinctly different feel from that of the Small Nambas, perhaps a little darker and more inward-looking, as befits their origins in the rugged jungle interior of Northern Malekula. But don’t worry!  August Vaval, your tour guide and his people, will offer you nothing but hospitality and a genuine desire to share the richness of the Nalint culture. Hear the stories of their custom life as told through  ceremonial dances for the Namagi, a significant life ceremony. Admire the intricately woven headdresses and skirts of the women, and the energy of the men's dance. Conclude your Big Nambas experience with traditional refreshments. It's just 20 minutes drive from Norsup Airport.
