5.00Grat tour and lovely guides. At the end we were offered local fruit. Guides offered to drop me off at my accomodation eventhough it was not on the pick up/drop off list. Would do it again!
Loved every minute of it. Highly recommend.

5.00We went on the kayak tour with our guides Roy and Tanam. Even though the river was a bit muddy from the heavy rain our guides were such fun and full of information that everything above the water was brilliant. We'd absolutely recommend this experience and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Personal and peaceful - highly recommended

5.00Eco tours Vanuatu picked myself and my daughter up at our resort. We had a most amazing afternoon on the river with Daniel our guide. He shared with us the culture and some history as we paddled on this beautiful part of Vanuatu. We also experienced the local Ni-Vanuatu communities playing and relaxing on the riverbanks as we glided past. Afternoon tea was a treat of fresh fruit and nuts prepared by Taman (sorry if the name is wrong) who also shared local culture with us. Such a lovely day and we highly recommend.
Our host was extremely...

A delicious lunch provided at the turtle sanctuary and interesting historical information shared by the tour guide made this day wonderful. Thank you

5.00My daughter and I went on this tour, it was exactly what we were looking for. Nice slow Kayak down the river and back. Barbara and the boys were excellent hosts. After our time on the river, we were served a nice cold fruit drink and fresh cut fruit. We would recommend this to anyone who wants a slow kayak. I an 76 years old and I really enjoyed it.
Must do activity in Port Vila
