Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the capital of Malekula Island, Lakatoro. Head south on the main road towards the village of Wala. Continue driving until you reach the junction at the coastal road. Take a right turn onto the East Coast Road and follow the signs towards Espiritu Santo. After about 30 minutes of driving, you will reach Lope Lope Adventure Lodge, where Santo Horse Adventures is located. There is no entry fee for the lodge, and parking is available on-site.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, catch a bus or van from Lakatoro heading towards the southern villages. Ask the driver to drop you off at the junction for East Coast Road. From there, you may need to walk about 10-15 minutes along East Coast Road until you reach Lope Lope Adventure Lodge. Ensure you check the bus schedule in advance, as services may not operate frequently, especially on weekends.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi from any location in Malekula. Simply tell the driver you want to go to Lope Lope Adventure Lodge on East Coast Road. The fare will depend on your starting point; from Lakatoro, it may cost around 2,000 Vanuatu Vatu (approximately $18 USD). Make sure to negotiate the price before starting your journey.
