I will definitely recommend this to my friends and hope to return next year. The atmosphere was wonderful, with no crowds and plenty of spots to relax on the boat.

  2. Efate round island day trip from Port Vila with lunch, Port Vila5

    5. Efate round island day trip from Port Vila with lunch

    4.9· 11 reviews

    A full-day tour around Efate Island, featuring hikes through jungles, secluded beach visits, and lunch at Top Rock, catering to families and short-stay visitors.

    My partner and I participated in the full island tour (package 3) with Nonda, and we can't recommend it highly enough. We had the luxury of having the fantastic Daniel as our driver and guide for the day since we were the only participants. Each stop was incredible, and the delicious lunch at Top Rock, accompanied by breathtaking views, was perfect. I would strongly encourage anyone to choose Nondas and would have loved to experience more of their tours if we had more time.walshieos

    6. Private Tropical Trio excursion in Port Vila

    4.9· 10 reviews· 4 hours

    Four hours by private bus — choose 3 stops from swimming, culture, wildlife, and beaches around Port Vila.

    We had a fantastic day thanks to the friendly team, Spencer and Grace, from Bountiful Tours and Transfers in Vanuatu. They arranged a personalized half-day tour in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus that accommodated our family's diverse interests and ages. We enjoyed two quiet, safe beaches for snorkeling and swimming. Grace had previously organized our transfers to the resort, making her part of our wonderful experience. Despite the bumpy roads, we found the journey enjoyable, and Grace and Spencer were attentive to the two young children in our group. We appreciated being able to proceed at our own pace. We highly recommend Bountiful Tours and Transfers in Vanuatu and found the entire staff to be a pleasure to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.

  4. Efate island tour with Yumi Tours from Port Vila, Port Vila7

    7. Efate island tour with Yumi Tours from Port Vila

    4.8· 102 reviews

    Full-day private tour with seven stops around Efate, including the Blue Lagoon, cultural village, and Survivor Beach, showcasing local traditions and eco-tourism.

    The cultural village visit was both fascinating and enjoyable. We explored the entire island, and the lunch provided was tasty and served in a beautiful location. The Blue Lagoon was delightful, offering ample time for swimming. Our guide, Stan, was polite, informative, and well-versed in Vanuatu's history and culture. We concluded the day with coffee and Kava. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and Stan drove carefully, proving to be an exceptional guide.Gabrielle_C
  5. Half-day tour to Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River, Port Vila8

    8. Half-day tour to Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River

    4.5· 69 reviews· 4 hours

    Three to four hours visiting the Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River with time for duty-free shopping, includes complimentary water.

    We enjoyed the Eden River and Blue Lagoon tour with Willy and Martina. Willy expertly navigated the pothole-filled roads, while Martina was attentive, ensuring everyone was having fun. She provided excellent information and answered all our questions. The Blue Lagoon offered a refreshing break on a hot day, and Eden River was also a great spot—we couldn't choose a favorite. This tour is definitely worth it. However, this was our second booking where we received no contact details for the tours, making it difficult to know who to look for. Communication needs improvement for such a large company.232meredithp
  6. Full-day tour of Port Vila and surrounding natural highlights, Port Vila9

    9. Full-day tour of Port Vila and surrounding natural highlights

    4.5· 177 reviews· 6 hours

    Eight hours with guides — visit Blue Lagoon, AVI Turtles, and Rarru River waterfalls, while learning about Vanuatu's history.

    The tour was a wonderful, more relaxed experience with ample time spent at The Blue Lagoon and the Cascades, and lunch was enjoyable. However, the Turtle Sanctuary fell short of expectations; I appreciate their efforts, but I doubt many turtles reach full maturity there. A visual demonstration of the entire process might enhance understanding.JenM657
