Turtles, blue lagoon and cascades. All great things to see in a day - Very happy with the experience, the driver picked us up from our resort, was polite, friendly and was very helpful at all the stops. We enjoyed all the locations and it was a great day out.

Wonderful experience for family with teenagers - Wonderful experience with fantastic and knowledgeable local tour operators. The lunch was a lovely salad and meat spread at the cascades waterfall. The operators made pickup and drop off very easy at the start and end of the day. Our two teenage girls had a fantastic day, we had a good amount of time to ourselves at each location, and it was a chill day seeing three amazing sites. At the moment there are very few tourists around (post earthquake) so we had so much space to ourselves all day. All the sites are unimpacted by the earthquakes and are very accessible. Very memorable experience

Must do tour in Vanuatu - This is a must to experience the beauty of Vanuatu. We started at Blue Lagoon where we were almost the only ones (I think we just got lucky with timing and no cruise ships currently coming in). The turtles were our favourite part, getting to swim up close. Ending the day with a nice lunch and a swim at Eden on the River was again a worth while experience. Our driver was punctual and very kind, teaching us all about Vanuatu. We would definitely recommend this trip! Thanks Yumi Tours.

Swimming with the turtles - Thought there would be more there, but the experience was great. Swimming with and patting the turtles was pretty special.

2 out of 3 excellent - avoid Avi Bay Turtle Experience - To begin the day our driver had been caught up in heavy traffic so we appreciated the great service of another staff member picking us up and taking us to the tour depot so we could wait in the air-conditioned bus rather than in the sun on the footpath. Great service. Our driver was friendly and our first stop at The Blue Lagoon was excellent where we swam and our tour companions swung on the ropes and jumped from the high platform for an hour...beautiful. There were guides attending to help people with the ropes and when one of the men in our group lost his wedding ring in the river, a guide went snorkelling and found it for him...pretty amazing. The next stop at Avi Bay Turtle experience was dreadful. There were no turtles in the sea but there were a few in very small concrete pools. We thought we were going to be able to swim with turtles in the wild, in hindsight maybe we were naiive to think that. This place should be shut down. Next was Eden on the River, another beautiful location where we swam and floated with the rubber tyres and walked on the suspension bridges over the cascades before having a very nice lunch of meats, salads and complimentary drink. It lived up to the photos we had seen online.

Excellent - The trip was great, the turtles is something everyone has to do. The guide was knowledgeable. Pity we didn't go to the cultural village and no explanation given as to why?

Not good value - Overpriced for what you got. No real time to shop or information on where to shop ( seemed to push duty free only) The day was over by 2.30 p.m. and some of the time was spent driving people on different tours to horse riding ranches etc so in fact it was just half a day for the price it was not good value. The swim with turtles was misleading too.
