A must! - A really great day, we chose this trip as we only had a short stay in Vanuatu and we are so glad that we did! Our tour guide Vincent was very knowledgable and our driver Julian took us round the whole island safely. The blue lagoon was just as blue as the pictures make out it to be and the cultural village was so informative. A must if you are staying in Efate!

SO MUCH FUN!!! - my sister and I went on this full day tour and it was so much fun!! Our driver Stan got us around the Efate safely, and our tour guide Vincent was incredible!! He shared information about Vanuatu, ecology, all the provinces as well as casual conversation. We genuinely had such a good time! The cultural village was so interesting and engaging, it was amazing to learn about how a large majority of their cultures used to live, catch food and other cultural traditions and activities! The blue lagoon was stunning, it was pretty cloudy and raining a little while we were there. But it was still a very nice view and we had fun trying the rope swing! The hot springs and mudpools were cool to see, we didn’t end up going in as it was raining when we got there. At lunch, even though it was super cloudy and rainy was still pretty and the food was good! We then went to survivor beach and were able to go snorkelling and it was actually insane!!! And then we visited a coffee factorie and cafe, we honestly weren’t very interested as we don’t really like coffee, but it was a quick stop anyway. And still cool to see. And then we tried Kava, it was very different, but you should try it!! Thanks Vincent and Stan!!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻

Highly recommend - We can’t thank Yumi enough. Clear communication when we booked a day in advanced, and they were more than happy to help! We had the driver and the Van for the whole day, private for a fair and great price. We listed the places we wanted to go, and they made it happen. Julian was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, kind and funny. He made the day an absolute delight and we would love to come back and hire them again! -Blake and Chantal

Fun day with great company - Fun tour with plenty of activities and a great guide in Moses. Had a couple of opportunities to swim and also engage in mud bath and also had opportunities to learn about indigenous culture and engage in shopping. A great way to see the island.

Great place to visit, great tour - This was a great tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative. He provided a lot of great information about the places we went and gave us an excellent understanding of the island and country. We are greatly saddened to hear of the damage caused by the recent earthquake and sincerely hope that the people living there will be able to recover from this catastrophe soon.

Great day out - Moses our tour guide was very professional with a great sense of humor. We went to a cultural village that was very interesting. Went to the Blue lagoon that was beautiful. Lunch was in a magical place with a great view. What I mostly liked about this tour was the fact that the places we visited were all owned and operated by the local communities. We stopped at the hot springs and mud baths, went to the coffee makers. Unfortunately the kava shop was closed and we opted not to stop at the markets as we were worn out. Moses was quite flexible and was quite happy to answer all of our questions.

Great day out - We had a great day out with Moses our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, was very aware of those of us with mobility issues and took us to places that benefited the local communities. The transport was comfortable and air-conditioned which was appreciated as the day was very warm. We didn't feel rushed at all.
