During⁤ the farewell, they took part in an​ “ava ceremony,”​ which is an old ritual that involves⁤ making a drink from the ava plant. In a special moment, this drink was⁣ given to King Charles III in a polished coconut shell; he graciously accepted ⁤it and took a sip.

Even though it was‍ raining, villagers displayed⁢ their ⁤culture‍ through dances and performances for the royals. A highlight was an exciting war dance where dancers⁢ skillfully twirled flaming sticks that captivated both royals.
