What To Expect
Port Vila
First stop is at Avi Bay. The word Avi translates to Turtle in the native language of Tongoa Island. They have a conservation project going on for endangered turtles species which includes green and hawksbill turtles to name a few. Get to interact with baby turtles, iguanas, and the fun part which is to swim in an enclosed pool with giant see turtles. This is a swimming stop so we highly recommend you to bring your swimmers. Snorkeling gears would be more practical to use at high tide. As we do not provide any gears please feel free to bring your own.
Blue Lagoon
Be amazed by the warm clear waters and fascinating nature of the untouched island paradise of Vanuatu. We will spend one hour at the blue lagoon where you get to enjoy and swim inside the natural blue lagoon.

5.00Absolutely amazing tour! Would happily book another tour with Yumi. Very professional, on time and organised. Comfortable and well maintained transport in a new 4WD. Our host Kahli was great, very knowledgeable and easy going. Felt very safe and Secure despite the potholes! Arranged a wonderful lunch at Eden. If you want a taste of Efate, we would recommend this tour. Sea, river and lagoon with Turtles thrown in to make it so very special and memorable. Would recommend plenty of sunscreen and reef shoes for this one. Can’t wait for our next tour!!

5.00We did the cascade and turtles Was the most beautiful experience, the guide Vincent was very informative and fun. The sights were heaven I can’t recommend it enough. We went on two tours, the horse riding the next day with Carl, who was equally awesome. This was the most beautiful experience in my whole life. Our guide that took us out on the horses was also an absolutely beautiful man. This company deserves 10 stars
Terrific tour

5.00We booked a private van with Yumi Tours. Organisation through Phillip was so prompt and easy. Our guide Vincent and driver Stan were just brilliant! Organised our day so well and made great suggestions. We visited Avi Turtle Sanctuary, Blue Lagoon (with bbq lunch) and the Cascade Falls. Wonderful day for 4 adults and 4 kids. Highly recommend!!
An awesome experience with great tour guides.

4.00To begin the day our driver had been caught up in heavy traffic so we appreciated the great service of another staff member picking us up and taking us to the tour depot so we could wait in the air-conditioned bus rather than in the sun on the footpath. Great service. Our driver was friendly and our first stop at The Blue Lagoon was excellent where we swam and our tour companions swung on the ropes and jumped from the high platform for an hour...beautiful. There were guides attending to help people with the ropes and when one of the men in our group lost his wedding ring in the river, a guide went snorkelling and found it for him...pretty amazing. The next stop at Avi Bay Turtle experience was dreadful. There were no turtles in the sea but there were a few in very small concrete pools. We thought we were going to be able to swim with turtles in the wild, in hindsight maybe we were naiive to think that. This place should be shut down. Next was Eden on the River, another beautiful location where we swam and floated with the rubber tyres and walked on the suspension bridges over the cascades before having a very nice lunch of meats, salads and complimentary drink. It lived up to the photos we had seen online.
Turtles, blue lagoon and cascades. All great things to see in a day
