How to Get to Pepeyo Cultural Village from Port Vila

Pepeyo Cultural Village is at Teouma, east of Port Vila on the Efate ring road. The village’s own website gives the drive from Port Vila town centre as “about 15-20 minutes” on one page and “just 20 minutes” on another, and publishes no street address (14 November 2026). The easy way there is a tour that collects you at your hotel: Sammy`s Port Vila Tours & Transfers’ Turtles, Blue Lagoon, River & Island Culture Tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off and a guided tour of the village, at US$135.44 per adult (checked November 2026).

Check dates for the Pepeyo day

Where the village is

Three sources, each in its own words (14 November 2026):

• The village’s own site: “Located in Teouma, Pepeyo Cultural & Educational site is about 15-20 minutes drive from Port Vila town centre”, and, on its contact page, “We’re situated near Teouma, just 20 minutes drive south of Port Vila, on the Efate ring road.”
• The Vanuatu Tourism Office: the location is “Teouma, Port Vila”; the Office’s blog on cultural experiences in Efate says “A 20-minute drive from Port Vila”.
• Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu: its Pepeyo, Blue Lagoon & Eden Tour puts the village “12 km from Port Vila Township”.

None of them gives a street address or a map point, so the map above marks the Teouma area, not the gate.

On your own: bus, taxi or a driver for the day

The Vanuatu Tourism Office’s guide to local transport (13 November 2026):

• Buses are minivans with a plate starting with B, about 150-200 vatu for a short trip and 300-500 vatu for a longer one.
• Taxis have a plate starting with T and no meters: fares are agreed and vary with distance and time of day, paid in vatu.
• A private bus for the day is about 15,000-20,000 vatu, and entrance fees to tourist sites are rarely included.

The Office publishes no fare to Teouma. The village publishes no opening hours.

A driver for the day, booked ahead

Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s Full-Day Bus Hire with Driver is a private minibus and driver for six hours from 9:00 AM, with hotel pickup from 18 pickup locations: you choose the stops, and its suggested day starts at Pepeyo Cultural Village, then the Blue Lagoon and snorkelling at Hideaway Island.

It is rated 5.0 from 14 reviews on GetYourGuide.

On a tour: who collects you, and where

GetYourGuide checked November 2026; Viator checked November 2026. Viator’s review figures count Viator and Tripadvisor reviews together. The Cultural Experience & Blue Lagoon is run by Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu.

Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s Viator list runs from town hotels such as Kaiviti Motel and Iririki Island Resort & Spa to the Erakor lagoon (Warwick Le Lagon, Erakor Island Resort & Spa) and Eratap Beach Resort; Atmosphere Tours & Transfers’ list covers Kaiviti Motel, Iririki Island Resort & Spa and other town and harbour hotels, but not Warwick Le Lagon, Erakor Island Resort & Spa or Eratap Beach Resort. Check your hotel against the list of the tour you book.

The Vanuatu Tourism Office’s earthquake update, last dated 7 May 2025, says “The road to the Wharf remains closed”. Where cruise passengers meet a tour is the operator’s to say: confirm it after you book.

Sleeping on the pickup lists
