An 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

Definitely 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.

This 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.

Great 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.

The 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 😊

Rosan 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.

Nice 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.

We loved this experience! The length o the tour was just right, and we got to see lots of fish up close. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable, and would recommend to others, especially great for young kids.

Very friendly staff. Calm water and clear view to see enough fish and coral. Stella was good explaining and showing the good spots. Feeding the fish was exciting to them up close

We had an amazing time on the reef explorer glass bottom boat! Rosen was lovely and so good with the kids who were super excited to see Nemo and so many other beautiful fish. Rosen was able to navigate the reefs so well and we saw so much. Great family activity and well priced compared to other tours.
