Dog's Head Walk

Coast to coast gentle walk  through the Dog's Head in Northern Malekula island.
A 2-days walk from the North East coast to the West.  As described in Lonely Planet, you walk across the rugged dog's head from the small nambas territory to the Big Nambas territory.  Your own personal guide introduces you to bush life and stories. You are welcomed into villages still living in a traditional way out of the world.  Arriving at your bungalow, you get a cool down for a relaxing swim in the tranquil ocean Pacific side of the island .
