Lelepa Island
Lelepa
A small island off Havannah Harbour. A day trip includes snorkelling, fishing and a visit to the Fels Cave rock art within Chief Roi Mata's Domain.
Lelepa Island lies off the northwest coast of Efate, across the Havannah Harbour channel from the main island. The day tour run by island villagers (Lelepa Island Day Tour) usually includes a boat trip around the island, snorkelling over coral reefs, a visit to the Fels Cave rock art in the World Heritage site 'Chief Roi Mata's Domain' (see the Chief Roi Mata's Domain entry for details), and a seafood lunch cooked by villagers on a white sand beach. From Port Vila hotels, the pick-up to the jetty takes about 45 minutes, followed by a 10-minute boat ride. Note: advance booking is required, and the tour may be cancelled in rough weather.
