5.00My husband, sister-in-law, and I booked this tour and we were so happy with our day. Ray, Brian and Cedric, our driver, took great care of us, showed us popular attractions and a view of life on the island. They greeted us with cold water bottles. We were the first of the day to arrive at Eden beach where Brian showed us the best parts of the reef to snorkel. We went in to the Blue Lagoon which is beautiful and fun with rope swings and gorgeous foliage enclosing the clear water area which combines freshwater flowing in and mixing with the ocean water. We ate a mixture of fruit and some salty snacks. There were open-air showers to rinse, but then we moved on to the Rarru Cascades with a series of short waterfalls flowing down in lush surroundings. They showed us where to jump in and where we shouldn’t and led the way too. Next, we wound through the streets of town and Ray described the people, history and culture. We ate a traditional lunch at a beach restaurant and saw a small “village” typical of the area. Our last stop was at an overlook where we had a view of our ship in the harbor, but sadly for us it had begun to rain. These guys were exceptional hosts and our day was much more than we expected. Port Vila tours👍.
Fabulous visit to Efate

5.00This was by far the best tour we did in Port Vila, Vanuatu. Ray was an exceptional guide who shared lots of interesting knowledge and information about local life, culture, and customs. The trip was so relaxed and comfortable. The sites visited were amazing, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the locations and the delicious food that was provided. Sam navigated the roads with ease and ensured our ride was comfortable. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Right from pick up at our resort we felt welcomed and the small group size gave us the chance to chat with our guide Ray. Ray was knowledgeable and interested in sharing local facts and history. We also had freedom to roam and take our time at each stop. All stops exceeded our expectations and we virtually had Eton Beach and Cascades to ourselves. Blue lagoon was busier with maybe a dozen people. For a family with two teens it was a perfect combination of beauty and action. Couldn’t recommend it more.
Delightful and interesting

5.00This was an amazing tour, our guide Ray was incredibly friendly and knowledgable, and very patient as we took thousands of photos. The blue lagoon and the cascades were the highlights. We were two women travellers and felt safe and looked after the entire time. Our guides went above and beyond and we can’t thank them enough for an unforgettable experience! I would definitely recommend this as a must-do.
Great day out
