Enjoying a ‘sing sing’ performance at the remote Wabunun Village

It was another incredible moment on our Discover the Secrets of Melanesia voyage as we arrived at Woodlark Island. Today's destination was Wabunun Village and a first-ever expedition cruise ship visit in this remote paradise. Landing on a stunning white sand beach, we walked inland greeted by a ‘sing sing’ at the school grounds, followed by a national anthem and flag raising at the school.

The locals showed us through their village, and we had the chance to talk with them and learn about their way of life. After taking our time exploring, we had a beautiful farewell from the beach.
