Espiritu Santo, known as 'Santo' by the locals is the largest island in Vanuatu, covered with high mountains and lush rainforest. Santo is rich in culture, beautiful scenery surrounded by some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and is an ideal playground for those seeking an adventure or to relax and take in the beauty. It is also an island untouched by development which makes it uniquely special.

This island is the perfect temperature and location for growing coconuts, Noni Fruit, Paw Paw and Kava.

Kava is grown on the ground at the same plantation as the tall coconut trees. The origins of Kava drinking is dated back to ancient time of some 3,000 years. The drinking of Kava can be quite casual however it also plays a pivotal role in ceremonies such as marriages, funerals, healing, naming and initiations. The Kava root can be given to a village as a gift. When the communal drinking begins the village chief will drink first and then it is offered to everyone else in a communal bowl, you clap your hands once you drink kava and clap your hands three times whilst passing the bowl on. Once everyone has shared the communal drink everyone are friends. After visiting this Island and being invited to join in this traditionally by the village chief, we became friends and the Kava King was born in 1995.
