How do I book a visit to Lowinio Cultural Village?

Booking is done directly by phone via the phone number displayed on this website. It's best to call ahead to confirm your visit in advance.

Do I need to arrange my own transport to get there?

Yes, the village does not provide transport. You'll need to organise a local taxi (truck) from Lenakel to get there and back. Prepare to pay the driver approximately 3,000 VT for the trip, one-way.

What time should I arrive?

We will arrange a time via phone call. However, aim to arrive no later than 3 pm, as the men begin preparing kava, so arriving early gives you the full experience without feeling rushed.

Will I get to try local food during the visit?

Yes, there is a food demonstration included in the tour. What's prepared changes depending on what's available. Usually guests try laplap. Alternatively, we sometimes do local spinach wrapped around manioc with coconut cream (simboro).

Is this a real kastom village?

It's a genuine, living kastom community. During some visits, you may hear ceremonial horns from traditional ceremonies taking place nearby. Everyday village life continues as normal around you.
