Very unhappy!!!
Nothing happened! Nobody came to collect me from my facility . Nobody answered the phone call. Very poor service. I would request a full refund of $170.00.

A great way to explore some of the hot spots of Vanuatu
A great way to explore some of the hot spots of Vanuatu - the Blue Lagoon is beautiful and a lot of fun if you like rope swings and jumping into stunningly blue water. Hideaway island is a must visit, for the underwater post office as well as the snorkelling around the island. I can't recommend our guide Marius enough - he was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area!

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.
