5.00Wonderful experience, loved every second of it, well worth doing. Locals run this but do not get all the money if you book through this APP. Bookings can be made cheaper on arrival.

5.00We had a wonderful experience in Vila/Efate thanks to Sammy's Tours.. We loved our time at the Blue Lagoon and our Guide Eddie that was terrific, he made us a lovely pre lunch table full of delicious tropical fruits, buiscuits, nut, fresh softdrinks and water. Lunch was simple but sufficient and included in tour price. We also visited a Turtle sanctuary and had pictures with friendly litle iguanas.
Beautiful locations, turtle swim not allowed

3.00Sammy was great with communication, the Cultural Village was fabulous, waterfalls pretty, Turtles were a let down, it stated in the description that it was a swim with turtles, once arriving were advised that they do not allow due to sunscreen. The area where the turtles are separated from the ocean was a metal fence allowing water to flow freely between the sea and the enclosure. The blue lagoon was beautiful and lunch provided was a bbq with fresh fruits and biscuits The vehicle our guide took us in was dirty and minimal engagement with the guide throughout the day.

5.00I really cannot say enough about the professionalism of Sammy‘s and the team. Booking the excursion was simple and Sammy was amazingly responsive over WhatsApp. The team met us exactly where Sammy said they would be and we got on the road right away. The vans air-conditioning was a great respite from the heat of the day. Our tour took us to the most interesting cultural village we’ve visited, a turtle sanctuary, natural pool with great jumps and swimming. We then had a delicious lunch at a hidden waterfall. The tour was informative without being overwhelming. We felt like it was the perfect way to spend our single day import and get a good sense for life, history and culture in Port Vila. In fact, this tour made this our favorite port of the entire cruise!

5.00The tour is full of activities. First, we went to a culture village and learned their history and music. Second, we went to see sea turtles. Besides turtles, we saw coconut crabs and iguanas. Third, we went to swim in blue lagoon. A lot of fun people swing themselves into the water. Fourth, we went to Eden River and had a bbq lunch there. The lunch quality is really good. It includes grilled steak and chickens. In the end, our tour guide Sammy even threw a bonus to our team. He took us to Eden beach. It’s really beautiful beach. The value of this tour is best ever you can get. Food is so delicious and tour guide is nice and patient. He did more than what the tour originally was designed.
