The Route
Three islands, two soils, one oil.
This route moves across three islands in Vanuatu, each contributing something different to what ends up in the range. On Melakula, children collect Tamanu nuts straight from the shoreline, which are cracked, sun-dried and cold-pressed close to where they fall.
On Tanna, our sandalwood grows in soil enriched by the ash of Mt Yasur, one of the world's most accessible active volcanoes. On Efate, the same species grows in richer jungle soil, giving a second, different aroma we blend with the first.
We sleep village-side the whole way through, not in resorts, and every stop is built around a project already underway.
