Access to 'Skull Island' Warrior Chief Shrine

A small Island close to Lola Island, 'Skull Island' is one of the most sacred areas in the region.[6] Visitable by tourists, it provides an insight into the fierce 'head hunting' history of local warriors. The owners of Zipolo Habu Resort on Lola Island support the traditional owners of 'Skull Island' by assisting in the collection of a kastom fee from those wishing to visit the shrine.
