From there, it's a comfortable 25 to 30 minute drive out to Havannah Harbour on the northwest coast of Efate, where you'll board the boat for the short 15 to 20 minute crossing to Lelepa Island. The boat is shaded and fitted with safety equipment, so you can sit back and take in the harbour scenery as the island comes into view.<br><br></div><div>Once ashore, the first stop is a gentle guided rainforest walk through the island's tropical vegetation. The walk takes around 15 minutes across mostly flat terrain, led by a local guide who'll introduce you to native plants, traditional bush medicine, local herbs and the ways island communities have long used what grows around them.<br><br></div><div>The marine activities are a real highlight of the day. You'll snorkel in Lelepa's Marine Protected Area, where coral gardens are home to large numbers of colourful tropical fish, and where turtles and dugongs are sometimes spotted.<br><br>There's also the chance to hand-feed reef fish, explore a sunken aircraft wreck sitting at around 3 metres depth, and visit a separate area to see giant clams. Please note that dugongs, turtles and other wild marine life are not guaranteed sightings.<br><br></div><div>Kayaking is also part of the day, with guests paddling the calm waters around the island. When you're ready to slow things down, Lelepa's secluded white coral beaches are the place to do it. Swim, rest in a hammock, take a walk along the shoreline, or simply enjoy the quiet.<br><br></div><div>A BBQ lunch is served on the island, with a spread that typically includes local beef, chicken, sausages, bread, garden salad and tropical fruit. Vegetarian options are available, and refreshments including water, juice, morning and afternoon snacks are provided throughout the day.<br><br></div><div>The tour also takes in a visit to Chief Roi Mata's Domain, Vanuatu's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2008. Your local guide will share the history of the chief, his connection to Lelepa Island, and what that legacy means to the community today.<br><br></div><div>The day wraps up with time in Lelepa village, where you'll meet community members, hear about everyday island life, and browse locally handmade crafts and artefacts. If you'd like to take something home, bring along some extra cash. Before you leave, the village children traditionally send guests off with farewell songs, a warm \"Lukim yu\" from the island. From there, it's the boat back to Havannah Harbour and the road transfer to your Port Vila accommodation.</div>", "departure_and_return": "<div>Pick-up from your Port Vila hotel or resort (From Paradise Cove to Devil's Point Road), outside these areas are subject to additional charge.
