Tropical Forest Walk & Secret Grotto

Immerse yourself in the gorgeous Lifou Tropical Forest during a guided nature walk. The path leads you to a secret grotto with stalactites and stalagmites. At a nearby quarry, you'll learn firsthand how the indigenous people of the island have figured out clever ways to survive using the resources they have on hand. Watch a demonstration of traditional hunting techniques -- it is quite fascinating. Notes: This excursion requires extensive walking; the terrain may be rocky and uneven. Not advisable for guests with mobility limitations. Wear light clothing and comfortable walking shoes; bring a hat and sunscreen. Modest attire is required for visiting local villages; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered; short shorts and swimwear are not allowed. The bus is neither air-conditioned nor equipped with a PA system. Local escorts and students will act as guides. Your guide will do his/her best to speak English, but please keep in mind that the limited tourism infrastructure here is part of Lifou's charm, and bear with any language difficulties he/she may encounter. Restroom facilities will be rustic. Groups will usually be split up in several groups, one large group on a big bus and several groups in smaller vehicles. The main guide will be on the big bus and you will be reunited with the group at the points of interest. The drivers of the smaller vehicles often do not speak English but will do their utmost best to point out interesting things for you.
