Amazing Day on Major Tom

What an amazing day on Major Tom! Seriously—don’t forget your reef shoes and a bit of cash for the island stop, because you won’t want to miss a thing. The weather was perfect, Ben and the crew were beyond friendly, and the snorkeling was out-of-this-world. So many vibrant fish, great-quality gear, and absolutely delicious food. It’s honestly one of the best places you can be in all of Vanuatu. And the Piña Coladas? Unbelievably good! I’d go back in a heartbeat!
Really fun day out. We...

What a fantastic day! Ben, our host and tour guide, took us to the most beautiful spots for snorkelling with amazing sealife amongst the coral reefs and to an underwater plane wreck with more abundant sealife. A delicious bbq lunch was served up by his team of friendly, local staff. Thanks to you all for a fabulous day!!

Just wow! Ben and all the lovely crew of the Major Tom provided a really special day out from the moment we arrived. The crew were charming, friendly, and great fun, effortlessly (it seemed) providing a world-class experience in the most beautiful setting that we pretty much had all to ourselves. The waters are clear and mesmerizingly blue, and with the sun out it was possible to spot turtles from on deck. I've never snorkelled before (the team were very patient and helpful as I got used to it) and I had the best time - the reefs and the assortment of sea life was just magical. It was also great to have the opportunity to abord a bit of island life and contribute to the local economy. A delicious BBQ for lunch and the fully stocked bar was icing on the cake. Thank you, Ben and Co - we'll definitely be back. We've raved about it so much that my colleague and his partner are going this weekend coming. The only question on your mind should be which date to do it!
Perfectly curated sailing experience

We had a spectacular day's sailing aboard the Major Tom with Ben and his friendly crew. Every detail was thought of and provided including the sharing of local and marine knowledge, snorkeling equipment and padel board and a wonderful bbq lunch. The scenery was stunning including the fish and coral reefs. We couldn't have asked for a more perfectly curated sailing experience
Wicked day
