- Busu Cultural Village
Tour: A one-hour motorised canoe ride will take you back
in time to see and experience century old cultures of the
seafaring people of the Langa Langa Lagoon. Here, on small
man-made coral islands, little has changed over the centuries for
these people who worship sharks as their deity.
The skillful seafaring people of Lanag Langa Lagoon have since been able to travel through to the 21st century, whilst embracing their rich and unique cultural heritage. Although Christianity has in many ways influenced their lives, it is generally practiced in tandem with their centuries old beliefs and traditions.
The friendly and hospitable people are always proud to show visitors their traditional warriors' welcome dances, the ancient art of making shell-money and performances of witch doctor rituals, custom fortune telling and their ancestral skull shrines.
- Lau Lagoon
Excursion:
A three-hour motorised canoe ride will take you to a world you never knew existed.
On the opposite side to the Langa Langa Lagoon people, north-east Malaita, live another tribe of seafaring people in Lau Lagoon. Similar to the Langa Langa, the Lau also dwell on artificial islands built from coral blocks gathered from the reefs hundreds of years ago.
About 30km long, the Lau Lagoon contains more than sixty artificial islands stretching from the shallowsbetween Uruuru and Maana'oba to Lolowai, the north southerly artificial land form.
Like the Langa Langa people, some are still animist or pagan and have a strong history of shark worshipping especially on Funaafou Island.
