Highly Recommended Trip - Ben & the crew were fantastic and made the experience really memorable. Amazing to be out on the bay with no other boats around. Make sure you add this trip to your itinerary.

The best experience in Vanuatu! - We had an amazing day! Ben, partner and crew are awesome. Feel like you're onboard with family including other passengers. The sailing was smooth. Stopped at 2 spots to snorkel/swim which were great. If you are nervous (like me) staff will work with you. One was going to get in the water with me. Visited a village and went to a market.
Make sure you bring cash for the market and drinks onboard (can also pay with credit card if you open a tab). Lunch and afternoon tea also provided.
Highly recommend!
PS - Thanks for picking up Bowie mid trip (the dog) who was resting at home from too much activity the day before.

Great choice for Snorkeling - Ben and Emily run a fabulous outfit. Snorkelling Day tour was terrific. Great food and a fun Vibe. Their equipment is in top order and cater for small or large sizes. Barbeque Luch was excellent just what you wanted and wash it down with a few Beers or a Gin and Tonic!
Major Tom is such a good Vessel and you can see that it’s very well maintained. We were fortunate enough to go to places that are available to only one other tour operator. They knew exactly where each drop spot was a looked after us so well. Give Bowie a pat!

Great snorkelling - We had a lovely day on Major Tom's snorkelling cruise. My wife and are 70 and 71 and she probably spent more time snorkelling than anyone else. She had a new face mask that had an optical prescription so this was the first time in years that she had such clarity of viewing. The fish and corals were plentiful and colourful and it was easy to reach without diving down. Staff and fellow passengers on board were kind and helpful.
