Specialties and souvenirs: red raisins, salmon, wine, copper, wood carvings, leatherwork and the famous black pottery, as well as handmade Indian rugs.
Birdman Festival: The biggest traditional festival on the island is the annual "Birdman Festival". Every spring, all the islanders gather at the top of the Olongo volcano to elect their leader, Birdman, and worship their gods. The "Birdman" comes from a myth that has been passed down on the island: In ancient times, the Creator, Mako Mako, taught the island's priests the religious rituals and objects of worship - seabird eggs - and designated two reefs in the sea as the places to collect the eggs. In this way, every year in August and September when the seagulls fly in, the islanders gather at the Olongo beach. Each tribe elects a contestant to swim down the cliffs to a large reef 2 kilometers away to look for the eggs. The first player to get the egg swims back to the island and gives it to his chief, who becomes the "Birdman" for the year. Throughout the year, he is worshipped as a god by the islanders. This activity has been discontinued for more than 100 years due to shark attacks when swimming for eggs. However, the sacred rituals and colorful make-up performances have been preserved to this day, and "Birdman" is still worshipped by the islanders. The event has been rescheduled for February to accommodate tourism and allow more visitors to witness the strange custom.
