Getting There

Car
If you're traveling by car, start from Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu. Head north on the main road (also known as the ring road) towards the east coast. Drive for approximately 30 minutes until you reach the bridge leading to the island of Lelepa. Park your car in the designated parking area at the bridge, as cars are not permitted on the island. From the parking area, walk to the end of the bridge to catch a local boat or ferry.

Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from Port Vila to the northern coast of Efate Island. Ask the driver to drop you off at the bridge leading to Lelepa. The bus ride typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the bridge, you will need to walk to the end of the bridge to find local boats or ferries that will take you to Lelepa Island. There might be a small fee for the boat ride, usually around 1000 Vatu (approximately 10 USD).
-
Boat/Ferry
Once you've reached the end of the bridge, you will need to board a local boat or ferry to Lelepa. Boats typically run every 30 minutes, but it's advisable to check the schedule ahead of time. The journey across the water to Lelepa takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The cost of the boat ride is usually around 1000 Vatu (approximately 10 USD) per person.
