Tour Itinerary:
The Umu Experience is an absolutely spectacular evening of well-choreographed performances and delectable island feasting
that both visitors and locals of all ages will no doubt enjoy. Witness a demonstration that takes you through various stages of
preparing some of the dishes in the umu to the opening and removal of the feast from the smoking hot underground oven. You
then delight in a flavourful umu platter served to your table, and help yourself to a buffet of freshly prepared salads and local
dishes. As you dine, Manavanui’s string band and impressive vocals entertain. A simple dessert is later served. Following dinner
and to conclude the night, beautiful island maidens appear on stage and gracefully perform before the warriors join in for slow
and fast paced items.
