Relaxed day on the water. - Can’t beat a relaxed day on beautiful calm blue water. Major Tom is well laid out, spacious, and staffed by friendly and professional crew. The snorkeling was a hi-light for me, from Nemo to Hiant Clams.
took us to some great snorkeling spots.

Great day out - The crew were fantastic. A really nice way to spend a day!
The wind was up a little so we had to go to a few different spots - which were great for snorkelling as well!

Fabulous day of sailing, cruising and swimming - The transfer from Port Vila to the boarding location was terrible. The government should be ashamed with the dangerous pot hole ridden roads - but once at the departure location the fun began.
The boat was well layed out for the 14 guests plus crew. The captain, Ben, was terrific, friendly and very knowledgeable. The crew was extremely friendly and happy to look after us.
The swim and snorkel stops were very enjoyable and the on board bbq lunch was delicious. It was very hot so the visit to the small village took a bit of a toll on us but again everyone was happy to see us.
We highly recommend the trip.

Highlight of our trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Ben and his crew certainly know how to give a spectacular experience. We were collected from our accommodation and driven out to the sail boat for a whole day of incredible views, food, service and culture. The day was exceptional. Highly recommend the trip. Take some cash for extra drinks and the visit to the mumma's market.

We had an absolutely... - We had an absolutely amazing day exploring Havannah Harbour! The snorkeling was fantastic, so many species of fish to see! This was followed by a delicious BBQ lunch prepared onboard. Mama's Market was a great place to do some shopping, it was also great exploring some of Lelepa Island. The crew onboard was fantastic; they were all dedicated to ensuring we had a special day in the water. Thank you, Major Tom, for an unforgettable experience!"

Best day out in Vanuatu - Best day trip on the Island, from start to finish we felt like queens for the day! Ben and his gorgeous crew looked after us, this is my 6th time visiting Vanuatu and without a doubt i could not recommend this more, the pick up was flawless, the sailing boat just beautiful, the food delicious 😋 the snorkeling areas we visited were some of the best places I've had the opportunity to see, plus bonus photos were taken from our day! We were so delighted to have these arriving in my inbox! Great quality too! i couldn’t recommend this tour more, if we were here longer we would do it again! Thanks so much Ben and your amazing team, so grateful Sonya and Debra 🥰🏝️
