The exotic Melanesian culture found in Vanuatu varies from island to island so there is a whole range of exciting adventurous discoveries to be made. The ni-Vanuatu people follow ancient traditional customs, or 'kastom', much of which is secret and passed down through the generations. Western influences only began in the last few hundred years of a culture dating back 5000 years, when the original descendants migrated to the islands of Vanuatu from Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands in the north. Without the ease of inter-island travel, cultural traditions on the various islands have developed independent of each other, meaning that today the traveller can witness diverse and interesting customs.
