Fabulous and friendly day tour with Vanuatu ecotours. Daniel and Barbara were great guides, sharing their knowledge of local history and culture. The kayak and Cascades locations were beautiful and the boys loved jumping in the river and from the top of the Cascades.

We had the best day with Eco tours from pick up to drop off. Our tour guides were Yollen and Barbara, they were super friendly and full of great information. The Kayaking itself was nice and easy, we chose single kayaks, glad we did as those in double took a bit to get their rhythm. We kayaked up to the start of the Cascades and back past villagers washing and excited children. When we got back had an abundance of fruit to eat... We then went on a short drive to the Cascades..OMG they were STUNNING. Nice short walk to the waterfall where we went for a swim. Tangkyu tumas eco tours

We were picked up by Barbara and Daniel, lovely easy going people. On the drive to the kayak spot they pointed out buildings and told about the history. There were only 2 other people who came kayaking as well. It was a very scenic place. On the way we saw people doing their laundry and kids swimming. At the end of the kayak trip we had some delicious fruit. We then went to the Cascades, the other couple had left, it was just my husband and me. Lunch was included. We didn't need a lot of time swimming, so we were taken to Port Vila. We got a little lesson in history while driving around town. We stopped at nice places to take photos. It was a great day out

The boys, Jackie and Yollen were fantastic. So helpful with their knowledge and when the kayaking got a bit hard they were with us helping. They also stayed in the water and on the platform always watching our kids were being safe. Went out of their way to make sure the less sure of the swimmers also had plenty opportunities to get in the water. My niece lost here Apple Watch in the water and they went back and found it.

I had a really enjoyable day kayaking along the beautiful river, followed by a delicious lunch and a refreshing swim at the cascades. Our guide, Daniel, was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable - he made the experience even better. The only thing I’d flag is the price: at $160 AUD, the tour felt a little on the expensive side for what was included. Still, it was a lovely way to spend the day.

Jackie and Daniel provided the best day out. The introduction to river paddling in clear water with abundant green banks and the feeling of remote adventure.Their care and catering were greatly appreciated (I have a few years on the clock) but we'll within the ability of an active person Discussing local trees, plants, remedy's and insects was a highlight for me with the guides wealth of knowledge. Swimming Cascades was a real bonus.Photos to enjoy the memories worked out very well Thanks Men Deborah and Brendan Parker

Vanuatu Ecotours offer a wide range of activities on different islands. Berry, Fira and Laura are excellent local guides who know how to make every activity special. Everything worked perfectly and was super organised.
