Fantastic day at the sea! Beautiful scenery and fun diving. You’ll get to see a lot of the coastline. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Vegetarian options for lunch. Great value for the price

What a day! My daughter and I loved sailing on Major Tom. The staff were friendly and professional, the boat was fabulous and the day ran smoothly. The snorkeling was wonderful and it was such a treat to snorkel a plane wreck. I totally recommend this tour to everyone visiting Vanuatu!

Pick up & rturn to your accomodation, includes a good lunch, experienced captain snorkel, dive islands off Vanuatu. If you don’t do this you’re a nerd. Vanuatu’s top notch yacht trip, excellent.
