Siviri Cave (also known as Valeva Cave) lies in Siviri village beside the north coast road of Efate. It is a limestone cave with a spacious chamber containing stalactites, stalagmites and bats. According to local legend, villagers hid inside it during tribal wars. Villagers lead visits with torches, which take about 30 to 45 minutes; admission is about 500 to 1,000 vatu. Near the entrance you can look out over the bay and Moso Island. It is a convenient stop when driving around the island.
