Epi

Introducing Epi

Epi is a fascinating island, just a hop, skip and jump from Efate. Arrive in the south and while away the hours in a rustic lodge watching for whales and dolphins to cross the small bay. Take a bumpy ride up north to Lamen Bay to do the whole watersport thing, including swimming with that loveable character, young Bondas, a gregarious dugong.It's an adventure island, where you become part of the village structure. Listen to the local lads pounding the kava ready for you to drink in the dusky nakamal; chat to the ladies of the village as they prepare their ground ovens and wrap the laplap in banana leaves; walk around to the conservation area, where megapodes and turtles can lay their eggs in safety; and take long walks along the black-sand beach at Lamen Bay.
