Summary: This was by far the best tour we did in Port Vila, Vanuatu. Ray was an exceptional guide who shared lots of interesting knowledge and information about local life, culture, and customs. The trip was so relaxed and comfortable. The sites visited were amazing, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the locations and the delicious food that was provided. Sam navigated the roads with ease and ensured our ride was comfortable. Highly recommend this tour!

Summary: Right from pick up at our resort we felt welcomed and the small group size gave us the chance to chat with our guide Ray. Ray was knowledgeable and interested in sharing local facts and history. We also had freedom to roam and take our time at each stop. All stops exceeded our expectations and we virtually had Eton Beach and Cascades to ourselves. Blue lagoon was busier with maybe a dozen people. For a family with two teens it was a perfect combination of beauty and action. Couldn’t recommend it more.
