Part 2 | What is the purpose of Naghol Land Diving in Vanuatu?

Land diving in Vanuatu or Vanuatu bungee jumping has two purposes.

It is a rite of passage, symbolizing the transition from boyhood to manhood. Land divers of Pentecost island are selected from their community and are jumping from a 20-30 meters ((66 to 98 ft) high man-made tower with only a vine attached to their ankles. They can reach up to 75 kilometers per hour (45 miles per hour) when hitting the ground with their shoulders.

Naghol Land diving ceremony is also an annual yam harvest ritual. When the vine stretches at the end of the dive, the land diver’s head curls under their shoulders to touch the earth, making it fertile for the next year’s yam crop. Yam is the only seasonal crop, harvested once a year, and the one that doesn't deteriorate during extended storage. They ensure a quality food supply.
