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.

5.00Cannot recommend Yumi tours enough! Alfred was a brilliant guide who was so friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. It meant so much to us that they were so easy to find at the cruise ship terminal and they made our day so completely seamless. 10/10!

4.00Our tour guide, Moses, was great! Heaps of knowledge and super friendly and great with the kids. We were looking forward to getting into the water at AVI with the turtles but that has since been stopped and felt rushed there the operators. Blue lagoon was fantastic and the swing is a must do! Lunch at Eden on the river was one of the best BBQ lunches we have had so far and the cascades were refreshing and a great sight. We also snuck in a horse ride at the end and a swim with the horses. Once again, Moses was the best and the private car/tour was made enjoyable by him.

5.00Enjoy the island. It's a beautiful place. The weather was great. The turtles were fun. There were several in the area we could feed, and lots of cute babies in another pool. The iguanas were fun. Then we went to the Blue Lagoon for a swim. After that was a delicious lunch at Eden on the River. A short walk took us to the Cascades where we floated in inner tubes. It was a relaxing day. The final stop was at the Duty-free shop for some goodies to take back to the ship.
Not worth it

3.00The Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River were absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any giant turtles at Avi Bay, which was quite disappointing. The lunch was good, though it was only provided until 2 pm, while other tour groups had already finished eating.
Best day

5.00This tour was excellent. We spent the day being dropped off to the best swimming holes and wildlife experiences. So much fun for our family of 4 and all back onboard the ship within the timeframe.
Poorly run and overpriced

2.00This was overpriced for the inclusions and was mainly just a lot of travelling. Do not recommend this tour or this company. Port Villa tours is much better, and lots of inclusions!
Tropical paradise, must see… Turtles at the beach, river and 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!!
10/10

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
