Lelepa Island: Private Day Trip with Snorkeling & Beach BBQ

Escape to Lelepa Island — a pristine, reef-fringed jewel off Efate's northwest coast. Snorkel living coral gardens, feast on a fresh BBQ on white sand, and meet the island's welcoming local community. Utterly untouched and genuinely bucket-list.

What to expect

A short boat transfer skimming across Mele Bay brings you to Lelepa's coral-dusted shores. Your guide leads you to prime snorkel spots teeming with tropical fish and brilliant staghorn coral before a leisurely beach BBQ of fresh local seafood and tropical fruits. The afternoon is free to swim, kayak, or simply lie in the shade of a palm. Return transfers are timed generously ahead of all-aboard.

Good to know

Pre-book directly with Port Vila Tours as Lelepa is increasingly popular. All snorkel gear is provided. Transfers depart from Port Vila waterfront — a short walk or taxi from the pier. Allow 6–7 hours; all-aboard is comfortably met.
