Lelepa Island Day Tours and Day Fishing Charters – discover the real Vanuatu

If you have had enough of languishing by the pool drinking mango cocktails and fancy a touch of culture and excitement during your visit to Vanuatu, then a Lelepa Island Day Tour is just what you need.

If you also want to chance your hand at catching some of the amazing game fish off Vanuatu’s main island Efate then Lelepa Fishing Charters is is just the place to do that!

Departing daily, except Saturday, a Lelepa Island Day Tour tour includes return transfers; a delicious remote beachside barbeque, soft drinks; snorkeling gear; morning and afternoon tea and a visit to the unspoilt Lelepa Island .

With its 160 acres of unspoilt tropical rainforest and palm fringed beaches, Lelepa Island is just 35 minutes drive from Port Vila on the North West side of Efate Island.

The winner of the 2007 Vanuatu Tourism Award for Best Cultural and Scenic Tour, Lelepa Island Day Tours will take you on journey of discovery of the real Vanuatu and its ancient history and peoples, including a visit to ancient caves of great significance to the local peoples, with ancient drawings and hand prints.

Operated by local Lelepa islander Albert Solomon, who appears to be a bit of a local “entrepreneur”, you will also be privileged and honored visitors to Lelepa Village, Albert’s own village, where it appears time has stood still, with reportedly only two televisions in the village and as recently as the early 40’s, cannibalism still performed.

Rest assured though, I am told that today you are safe and you will also have the opportunity to purchase crafts and artifacts at village prices.

The Lelepa Island Day Tour also includes some absolutely awesome snorkeling and tropical fish feeding in amazing colorful and beautiful coral gardens.

Lelepa Island Fishing Charters offers half and full day fishing charter with Albert and his team using their intimate local fishing knowledge to take you right to where the fish are and believe me, are they big, with Vanuatu’s famous Marlin Highway just a stones throw away.
