into one well-rounded day out, starting at the 83 Islands Distillery before heading to a cultural village experience and finishing up at a natural lagoon.<br><br></div><div>The day kicks off with a visit to the 83 Islands Distillery, where you get a genuine look at how artisanal rum is made from scratch. The guided distillery experience walks you through the full journey, from fresh sugarcane all the way through fermentation, distillation, and barrel ageing. It's a proper behind-the-scenes look at a craft that takes real skill. After the tour, settle in for a curated tasting of their premium rums at the Cellar Door.<br><br></div><div>Next up is Pepeyo Cultural Village, just 15 to 20 minutes from Port Vila in Teouma. This is one of the most popular cultural villages on Efate, and it's easy to see why. The experience takes you through eight distinct areas, each focused on the ancient traditions of Futuna Island. You'll be greeted by island warriors on arrival, which sets the tone for an entertaining and genuinely educational experience.&nbsp;<br><br>From there, your host guides you through traditional fishing techniques, farming practices for crops like yam, taro, and kava, sacred ceremonies, and demonstrations of traditional housing construction and food preservation. The areas are connected by short walks through tropical bush, with wheelchair-friendly paths and plenty of seating along the way.<br><br></div><div>The cultural performances are the centrepiece of the village visit, featuring traditional dance, bottle and bamboo piano music, and firewalking on hot volcanic rocks. It's a highlight that tends to stick with people long after the day is done.<br><br></div><div>The final stop is the Blue Lagoon, a well-set-up natural swimming spot fed by a freshwater spring a kilometre back in the bush. The lagoon is a unique mix of fresh and salt water, with decking areas, rope swings, picnic tables, changing rooms, and toilets all set among beautiful gardens.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Refreshments of local fruits and coconut drinks are included throughout the tour.<br><br></div><div>Please note that entry fees to each attraction are to be paid directly on the day and are not included in the tour price.</div>", "departure_and_return": "<div>Pick-up and return from your designated accommodation or location.</div>", "faq": "<div><strong>What's included in the Distillery, Pepeyo Cultural Village &amp; Blue Lagoon Tour price?</strong></div><div>The tour price covers transport and refreshments including local fruits and a coconut drink.
