Ekasup Cultural Village

Ekasup Cultural Village is a village experience near Erakor, about 5 km from Port Vila, where the chief and his guides show visitors how people farm, cook, build and heal in the traditional way. The Vanuatu Tourism Office lists it with a bus pickup from the hotels, and publishes no entrance fee, days or opening hours (checked 13 November 2026). The simplest way to go is on a tour that includes the entry. The tour this page books is AE Island Adventures’ Ekasup Cultural Village & Honeymoon Beach Tour, A$120.52 per adult and bookable alone, with the entry fee, lunch and pickup included (checked November 2026). It is a new listing with no reviews yet.

The calendar above is the six-hour day from 9:00 AM: cultural demonstrations and dance at Ekasup, a guided walk through the village, a local lunch with tropical fruit, a swim at Honeymoon Beach, and a drive through Port Vila with a duty-free stop on the way back. Groups are limited to 12, and the guide speaks English and French.

What the village shows

In the Vanuatu Tourism Office’s words, the tour starts with a bus from the hotels, the chief and his warriors greet you, and the chief and guides then show farming, home economics, architecture and traditional medicine (checked 13 November 2026). The tours add dance performances and, on Vanuatu Royalty tours and transfers’ horse-riding day, stories of food preservation and the last cases of cannibalism.

The entrance fee

No entrance fee is published, and the prices quoted elsewhere online disagree with each other. If you go on your own, ask your hotel to book and confirm the price; on the tours below, check the inclusions: AE Island Adventures lists the entry fee as included.

Ekasup or Pepeyo: two different villages

Two cultural villages near Port Vila turn up in tour titles, and they are not the same place. Ekasup is near Erakor, south-east of town. Pepeyo Cultural Village is at Teouma, further east, and is a stop on several round-island tours. Yumi Tours & Transfers Vanuatu’s Discover Cascades & Turtle Experience on Viator, for one, is set to Ekasup but visits Pepeyo. If Ekasup is the one you want, book a tour that names it in its itinerary, like the three below.

Three tours that include Ekasup

Pick by the rest of the day:

Prices and review counts from the GetYourGuide listings (checked November 2026). Treat them as the shape of the market, not a quote: the price that counts is the one on the calendar when you book.

Island Breeze Tours & Transfers’ short visit costs A$160 per adult with four adults minimum, A$640 for four, and one or two adults cannot book it. Vanuatu Royalty tours and transfers’ ride is A$249 per adult, from 38 reviews, and is not for people over 120 kg or with back or heart problems (checked November 2026).

Getting there

Ekasup is close to town: a taxi or a minivan from Port Vila is a short ride. The Vanuatu Tourism Office’s guide to local transport says to agree a taxi fare before you set off, as taxis have no meters (checked 13 November 2026). The tours above collect you from your hotel.
