4 amazing stops with friendly and informative driver. Even picked us up from our accomodation that was not on the list
While the day is divided into four activities, there is enough time to enjoy every one of them! It is a fantastic series of stops, making for an incredible day trip! I was surprised to be the only person on the tour for the day, it made the experience all the more special. The gentleman who drove me was a wealth of knowledge and such a friendly man, this journey is a must!!
What a fantastic day, Sammy was so accommodating with booking us in last minute. We spent the day with the absolute legend Keko, there was a lot of laughter. Such a nice way to see the island, beautiful spots for swimming, turtles are adorable. Lunch at Top Rock with George was delicious. There were snacks and refreshments, what more could a gal want! 🫶
Had an amazing day! Our tour guide Eddie went out of his way to make us comfortable with plenty of local snacks along the way. Was very informative with his knowledge on the area. The day was well worth the money! Would definitely recommend to others.
Wonderful experience, loved every second of it, well worth doing. Locals run this but do not get all the money if you book through this APP. Bookings can be made cheaper on arrival.
We had a wonderful experience in Vila/Efate thanks to Sammy's Tours.. We loved our time at the Blue Lagoon and our Guide Eddie that was terrific, he made us a lovely pre lunch table full of delicious tropical fruits, buiscuits, nut, fresh softdrinks and water. Lunch was simple but sufficient and included in tour price. We also visited a Turtle sanctuary and had pictures with friendly litle iguanas.
Sammy was great with communication, the Cultural Village was fabulous, waterfalls pretty, Turtles were a let down, it stated in the description that it was a swim with turtles, once arriving were advised that they do not allow due to sunscreen. The area where the turtles are separated from the ocean was a metal fence allowing water to flow freely between the sea and the enclosure. The blue lagoon was beautiful and lunch provided was a bbq with fresh fruits and biscuits The vehicle our guide took us in was dirty and minimal engagement with the guide throughout the day.
A number of interesting places were visited. A nice lunch was provided. The down side was that the van was cramped with very little leg room.
Sammy was the best, very accommodating. Tour was seamless. He was very kind and professional. I had a lovely day
Turtles and iguanas were cool, unable to swim due to tides/ currents, blue lagoon was amazing and not that busy the rope swings were lots of fun, lunch was nice I really enjoyed the salads, lots of flies tho, swimming at eden on the river was great, we were with two others and our tour guide was very polite and helpful would reccomend
