Kava drinking in Vanuatu and other Vanuatu Local Custom Tips

Kava drinking in Vanuatu commences each evening at sundown to the sounds of soft conversation, where people discus the days activities and contemplate the future in a calm and peaceful environment.This happens in many villages every evening, in the city of Port Vila and town of Luganville. Commercial kava bars abound (nakamals) Each person will have their favourite nakamal, which will feature kava from the owners area, and takeaways are no problem. Everybody is friendly and you can choose to be part of the conversation, or be alone to gather your own thoughts, but kava is always drank with company. Kava is of course an essential ceremonial ingredient, and no visiting dignitary or custom celebration would be complete without a kava ceremony.
