Excellent service!

I was the only person who chose this tour but the company mixed my tour with another so that I could still visit the same places. I even got to go to one extra place. They were very kind and patient as I explored and really went out of their way to make it a great day.

10/10

My partner and I, along with fellow travellers Kaz and Ted, had an exceptional day on this tour. Our guide and driver, Brendan and Ray, were phenomenal. We arrived at blue lagoon before rush, had a gorgeous lunch at the turtle sanctuary and enjoyed a relaxing wind down at the waterfall on our way home. Brendan provided many interesting facts about Port Vila, and the four of us had a ball. It was our best day out on our holiday by far. This review is on behalf of all four of us, as we had a drink together at our resort afterwards talking about how wonderful it was 🙏🙌

Operator response

Massive thanks for the awesome feedback!🌴We are very happy that you all have a wonderful day with Brendan and Ray. Sounds like they crushed it! Cheers for the kind words about Brendan and we hope to meet you again in the near future.

Rip Off

There is a 2000VT entry fee to the island, for which you get nothing other than broken shade structures, chairs and tables, no snorkeling equipment (except for an additional fee), very basic, dirty toilets and a broken coffee machine. We told lots of other travelers not to visit.

Super

A super well organised day, departing before the majority of the other cruise boat excursions so we got to all the places before all the other trips. Food was delicious including the fresh fruit and our tour guide was a font of knowledge going above and beyond making sure we fell in love with Vanuatu!

Operator response

Our drivers and guides never disappoints. Your desire our passion! Thank you for enjoying your time with us and we appreciate your great review. We hope to meet you again sometime soon.

A great day

This was our second tour with Vila Hope. On both occasions it has been the highlight of our trip. A professional tour company with modern vehicles and friendly drivers and tour guides. I would highly recommend them to anyone travelling on a cruise ship and wanting a day tour.

Operator response

Awesome! Thank you for your great feedback and we are happy that your day was enjoyed. Let’s hope to meet again in the near future.

Can’t recommend even though the concept is cool…

I don’t want to be a downer, but this place is a complete tourist trap. It is $1,500vt pp to enter, about $13 USD, they have been out of postcards for months and the drinks are super expensive. 2 rum and cokes and 2 beers was $36USD. They no longer post the postcards from here, if you do happen to get one - it’s done in town. Speaking of which, contact the post office in town directly (via WhatsApp) and they may reserve a few postcards for you to pick up. We stayed about a half hour and then drove to Top Rock - MUCH better!

This is not right to scam such a reviews here especially when We do not have any tour options that links with hideaway island and top rock. Vila hope did not run this tour. Please remove your comments here and spam it somewhere else. Trip advisor should consider such crooks and not allowing this to happen again .
