Life on Pentecost Island | Cooking, Culture & Connection in Remote Vanuatu

Join us on Pentecost Island, Vanuatu, where we spend time in the remote village of Loltong Bay — a place rich in culture, connection, and everyday resilience. When we arrived, we were welcomed by Matthew and Marie, who run the Loltong Yacht Club. They invited us to see how life unfolds here — walking through the village and gardens, learning about the tree of life (the coconut), and sharing a traditional island meal. From cultural food preparation and the tradition of kava, this experience was one of the most meaningful parts of our time in Vanuatu. If you’re drawn to authentic travel experiences, island culture, and the people who make these places so special, this episode is for you. 📍 Location: Loltong Bay, Pentecost Island, Vanuatu 🌊 Series: By Land and Sea – Life Beyond the Map 🎥 Watch next: Life in the Maskelyne Islands #Vanuatu #PentecostIsland #CulturalTravel #IslandLife #TravelVlog #OffTheBeatenPath #VanuatuCulture #ByLandAndSea We hope you enjoy it!

Ours is a life shaped by curiosity, connection, and a desire to live simply while still holding onto the professional work we love. Between remote anchorages and winding backroads, we share honest stories of what it’s really like to live, travel, and work from the road and sea. We’re not chasing perfect—we’re chasing real moments, unexpected encounters, and a slower way of being. Follow our journey: @adamandvickistravels on YouTube and Instagram.
