Excursion Ghupuna village warrior challenge and mudmen tour at Santa Ana

Arrive ashore to visit Ghupuna, the main village in Santa Ana. A bright white sand beach with huge shade-giving trees runs along the shoreline in front of the tidy village. These islanders generally welcome visitors with traditional songs and dances performed by members of the three different villages on Santa Ana.

Enjoy a welcome of a display of the Warrior Challenge (Mara-mara-tafa), a performance of the panpipers, several women's traditional dances (including Mao-nifita, Afuri and Mwabe Mwabe dances), a men's traditional dance, and a performance of the so-called Mudmen (Ai-matawa-Aifono-fono).

Note

Please note: Walking involved on this tour is moderate. Wear shoes that are suitable for walking, light clothing for the hot, humid weather. Please do not wear bikinis and be sure to wear appropriate cover-up clothes over swimsuits.
