    Be careful when you book this!

    Spent 10000VT (approx $100) in a taxi to arrive and be told the class wasn’t booked. Tried contacting them and they haven’t responded. Pretty annoyed as this was a birthday and we had limited options with a baby. I want to be reimbursed for the taxi!

    Learn from the organic Kitchen Garden for traditional cooking

    Andrea_W, Aug 2026
    We learned lot about the traditional methods of food preparation. We walked around the vegetables garden learning the difference edible plants the the Vanuatuan used in their cooking. It was an excellent learning experience, the lady cook taught us an immeasurable amount of information, we felt we understand the traditional way of life a little bit more.

    Wonderful experience...

    Wonderful experience learning about the local foods and cooking techniques. The cooking class was fantastic and we also got to experience walking around the beautiful grounds and seeing the river. Highly recommend giving this class a try!

    A little taste of local culture

    Jane_L, Jul 2024
    What an enjoyable experience of a little piece of Vanuatun culture. There were 3 of us and picked right on time and it took about 40 minutes before we arrived at Eden River. Everything was well organised and we loved making our Simboro (a steamed roll of manioc wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in coconut milk. While that was being finished we toured their orchards and vege patch and even picked some starfruit to finish our lunch. It was delicious! We returned to the ship via a detour thru the main town, unfortunately we didn't have enough time to shop! Maybe next time.
