1.00COMPANY NOT OWNED BY LOCALS - THIS APP NOT RELIABLE WITH BOOKINGS - MONEY NOT GOING TO VANUATU PEOPLE. Owner likes to take your money, claim you have no booking and refuse to look at PAID ticket on this app, argues you called and cancelled when I didn’t. Most disappointing and disgraceful treatment I have received the entire trip. Misogynistic, racist, aggressive owner with an attitude that should never be tolerated by any woman. I was left in tears upset and unable to go on my trip I had paid for because this person is a disgrace to all Australian people (we do not act this way) Was left alone crying in the street and very distressed, until locals found me, looked after me and called the owner of my hotel to come help me. Seems talking to a white man did the truck to sort out the owner operators personal issues. 30 years I have been in hospitality and never once treated this badly (my staff would be fired for this behaviour) Best advise - get off this dodgy app now and book with locals when you get to Vanuatu, your money is going overseas, not to the locals. Boat dirty, glass scratched and foggy, so can’t see clearly. Coral is dead from cyclone and fish are minimal due to overfishing (from the locals mouth, not just making this up) there is an issue here with foreign people taking advantage of locals, open your eyes while here and stick to locals only.

5.00Rosie was amazing, He was so informative & very knowledgeable of the area & when fish & coral was coming up so you can be ready to take photos, He also knew his fish variety. Rosie is very down to earth genuine tour guide who takes pride in his work & takes care in people who goes on adventure with him. Definitely worth spending the money for this attraction as part of Vanuatu adventures. Highly recommend for families with young children. Highly recommend to all.
A must do with kids

5.00An awesome experience for families especially with young children who can’t snorkel or scuba dive. It was easy to book and find in Port Vila. The price was reasonable and under 5s are free. The concept of the glass bottom boat was amazing. It was like being in a submarine. The windows were very easy to see fish and coral. Would recommend this activity
Unique viewing experience

5.00Definitely a unique experience. Going doing into the boat and having panoramic views of the reefs was an amazing. Recommended for people looking for a short but exciting experience in the heart of town.
Amazing!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip. Both skippers were super friendly and knowledgeable, and they made the cruise so good. We saw so many fish and the kids were able to feed the fish too.
Fantastic experience

5.00Great experience, especially with little children. We got to see a variety of different fish. Children loved the experience and even got a chance to feed the fish from the deck of the boat. Only downfall was we went on a cloudy day, which limited our visibility.

5.00The earthquake did a lot of damage however parts of the ocean are coming back to life - the weather was perfect and the tour guide Mr R was absolutely amazing and then the boat driver Levo was very skilled getting us over the coral - well worth every penny. We didn’t find Crush or Squirt but lots of Nemos - fantastic tour do yourself a favour and book it 😊
Great for toddlers and adults

5.00Rosan was very informative. Took us to see coral and fish. Told us about coral damage and local surrounds. Was very good with 3yr old grandchild. Would recommend.
A great little 'submarine' view of beautiful marine life!

5.00Nice underwater journey in the Port Vila Harbour and waters around Iririki Island. The recent earthquake has damaged a lot of the reef but the marine life is still there to be seen!! So come on fellow travellers, support the Reef Explorer and support the beautiful friendly and welcoming locals in Vanuatu. Our guide was very knowledgeable and a friendly chap who was welcoming to all. Kids will love it too!! Highly recommended.
Pretty cool experience
