5 Stars - Incredible Day on Major Tom with Sailing Vanuatu! - We had a wonderful time on the Major Tom sailing day tour today, making it the highlight of our Port Vila holiday! The 60ft custom-built sailing vessel was a delight, with its sun deck, seats, and cozy spots, and the crew—huge thanks to the team—who were incredibly welcoming and safe, especially watching over us while snorkeling. The Island snorkeling was stunning, with a beautiful blue sea star and fish. The cruise back with a Tusker beer was magical.

Hotel pick up was prompt.... - Hotel pick up was prompt. The cruise was amazing! The hosts really want to give the guests a great experience/show the best parts of Vanuatu. All staff are very friendly. We felt safe and well supervised. My son was the only child and the staff were very accommodating with transporting us closer to the reef/beach given he wasn’t as strong a swimmer. The cruises are popular so recommend booking early

Best snorkeling of the trip - Had such an amazing experience with the crew today. Great snorkeling, great food and chill, fab vibes. One of the best set up tours we've been on this trip. Highly recommend spending a day with Sailing Vanuatu when you visit the island.

Excellent trip - definitely a must do - The trip was amazing, great boat, crew and food - we were made to feel very welcome- crew were very happy to accommodate us, for example I thought I would be able to swim to the plane wreck but wanted to see it, the crew took me over in a small boat so I got to see the wreck and snorkel around. Very safety conscious, always had spotters for the people on the water. You can stay on the boat if you prefer. Thank you Ben and crew, we will be definitely recommended this trips to friends travelling to Vanuatu.

Great day out - We had a great day out with Major Tom. Lots of contact prior to our trip day. Easy pick up and informative bus ride out to our boat. Great crew lead by Ben and Emily, and of course Bowie the dog.
Wonderful snorkelling in crystal clear waters. Lots of beautiful fish and colourful coral. Nice BBQ lunch provided. A lovely visit to a local visit and opportunity to buy and support the local ladies.
Then another snorkel over the submerged plane. Lots of Dory fish.
To top off the day the winds were perfect for a nice relaxing sail back to the docking.
Thanks everyone we had a lovely day out.

Sit back and relax - An extremely relaxing day, the staff and crew making sure all those on board were accommodated depending on skill level. For those that didn't snorkel they were happy to come up with other other options. From the time we booked to pick up they were in touch and happy to answer any questions. I would happily go on this tour again.

Not happy - Seriously unimpressed, booked and got all excited as this was the one big experience only to have no one turn up to pick us up, got all sorts of excuses which i understand however we had to chase them up to find out why we were left behind and that left a sour taste and ruined our day. Money was refunded so that's something. When your only there for a short time something like this happening can ruin an entire day.
