Travel package · 5 days
Everything AuthenticMala Tours offers, bundled into one five-day trip across Malaita — from Auki's coast and caves, to the stilt villages and shell money of Langalanga Lagoon, the rainforest and waterfalls of the Central Highlands, and an overnight cultural immersion with the Kwaio community at Maoma Tribal Center in West Kwaio. Booking all four as one trip saves against booking each separately, and Hazel and her team handle the logistics of moving between them.
