Epi's food is fresh and village-based, with lap lap, taro and yam accompanied by reef fish and coconut. Lodges serve simple, hearty meals often sourced from the island and the lagoon, and the relaxed pace encourages long, communal dinners. Visitors can expect genuine Ni-Vanuatu hospitality and earth-oven feasts during their stay.

Epi Island sits in central Vanuatu and pairs easy, sheltered diving with a genuine chance of seeing dugong. Lamen Bay Reef is a calm garden great for training and macro, and one of the country's most reliable spots to see dugong grazing the seagrass at dawn. The Epi Wall is a sea-fan and black-coral drop-off with grey reef sharks, eagle rays and occasional mantas, while the Epi Wrecks are small scuttled traders now artificial reefs full of fish life and frogfish. The Pinnacles are isolated seamounts where barracuda, tuna and reef sharks school, with whale sharks possible in season. Epi is a relaxed, family-friendly island with a strong frontier feel.

Epi Island (Central Vanuatu)

Fly into Lamen Bay (LLB) on Epi from Port Vila or Santo, then transfer to a coastal lodge. Most sites are a short boat ride from Lamen Bay, and the sheltered bays make for easy entries. Some divers combine Epi with a liveaboard through the central islands.
