Island Sailing in Paradise - What a fantastic day! Ben, our host and tour guide, took us to the most beautiful spots for snorkelling with amazing sealife amongst the coral reefs and to an underwater plane wreck with more abundant sealife. A delicious bbq lunch was served up by his team of friendly, local staff. Thanks to you all for a fabulous day!!

Not to be missed - a real treasure - Just wow! Ben and all the lovely crew of the Major Tom provided a really special day out from the moment we arrived. The crew were charming, friendly, and great fun, effortlessly (it seemed) providing a world-class experience in the most beautiful setting that we pretty much had all to ourselves. The waters are clear and mesmerizingly blue, and with the sun out it was possible to spot turtles from on deck. I've never snorkelled before (the team were very patient and helpful as I got used to it) and I had the best time - the reefs and the assortment of sea life was just magical. It was also great to have the opportunity to abord a bit of island life and contribute to the local economy. A delicious BBQ for lunch and the fully stocked bar was icing on the cake. Thank you, Ben and Co - we'll definitely be back. We've raved about it so much that my colleague and his partner are going this weekend coming. The only question on your mind should be which date to do it!

Perfectly curated sailing experience - We had a spectacular day's sailing aboard the Major Tom with Ben and his friendly crew. Every detail was thought of and provided including the sharing of local and marine knowledge, snorkeling equipment and padel board and a wonderful bbq lunch. The scenery was stunning including the fish and coral reefs. We couldn't have asked for a more perfectly curated sailing experience

Great experience in Vanuatu - Best experience I had on the island. A complete day just enjoying the ocean. The price is competitive to other tours - a bit more expensive, but worth it. Fully recommend!!

Amazing day on the water. - A group of six of us recently did the major Tom full day tour with Ben and the team. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. While the weather was a little dicey we still had an amazing day sailing, snorkelling and touring a local island that somehow felt both action packed and super relaxing. The BBQ lunch was also delicious. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Vanuatu.

Exceptional day out - We had a fantastic day out with the crew. They were professional and caring. Australian standards withheld all the way, observing everyone in the water and safety on the boat.One lady did get into trouble in the water but because we had been given the safety instructions before entering the water the crew were very quick to respond and assist . Later they encouraged her to return to the water under close observation and reassurance leading to a very happy participant to end the day. We went into the village for a walk which added a great combination for the tour. Anyone wanting a full day with culture and water activities this ticks all the boxes

Great day out - This tour is a complete fun day out at sea. Everything was good from the pickup to drop off. We had patchy rain to start but the day cleared and the sea was calm so our 2 snorkels were great. The lunch served on board was delicious and the crew were amazing. We also did a short hike to the village on Lelepa. Highly recommend and I would happily do this tour again. Thanks to all.
