For over centuries, the islands of Rah and Mota Lava in Vanuatu's Banks group have been the vibrant setting for the Saint Andrew's Day Cultural Festival. 

This extraordinary event is a testament to the enduring spirit of the local communities, where ancient custom traditions beautifully intertwine with Christian celebration to honor the life of St. Andrew.

The festival offers three days of authentic and immersive cultural activities set against a truly stunning ocean view backdrop. 

Guests have the unique opportunity to participate alongside the local community in an ancient fishing technique on Rah Island, utilizing vines, coconut leaves, and bows and arrows to procure their evening meal. 

The festival also showcases captivating "Volcano Bakes," powerful men's and women's custom dances, and the rare and moving fusion of custom dancing performed in harmony with gospel church choirs.

For those seeking adventure, the festival provides opportunities for invigorating treks up the iconic Rock of Rah or to the majestic Mount Tuntong, also known as Sleeping Mountain, offering breathtaking views and a deeper connection with the island's natural beauty.
