          Thank you to Philip and the team I had to go to other places very urgently and Philip and his team were able to take me without a hassle. They are very hospitable and friendly and made the day very enjoyable.

          Yumi Tours review
          Vincent and Julian! What champions! Thank you both so much for all of our Tours. Yumi tours was by far the smoothest and most organised tour company i have ever used. These guys went above and beyond what my friends and I were expecting of them. Not only did we experience Pele Island and snorkelling at top Rock, we learned about the culture and history of vanuatu! I wish I could give them 10/5 stars. Next time I'm in Port Vila I will be seeing these 2 again. Book Yumi Tours and support these legends!

          Fantastic tour
          Fantastic! All three spots included were magical. Snorkellling at Hideaway was amazing. Blue lagoon was so much fun. The lunch and swim at Eden in the rapids was a great way to top it off. Could easily have spent another couple of hours at Blue lagoon. Our guide and drivers were super friendly and informative. Can’t rate this high enough!

          Swimming, fish-spotting & more
          Enjoyed this tour with pick-up on time and travelling with one other family so we weren’t squished in the van. The tour guide was knowledgeable and provided great info during the drive which was air conditioned. Hideaway Island was beautiful and not busy at all. There was a cost to hire snorkel masks, flippers and you could purchase a postcard. Unfortunately the masks kept leaking water so I recommend buying/bringing your own. We didn’t get flippers but you’ll definitely need them to get down to the underwater post office as I was super buoyant. There was a bar where you could get food and drinks but a minimum for card so bring cash. We spent an hour here before heading to Eden on the River. Eden on the River was nice but signage is difficult to spot as you’re given time to do your own thing. We hiked to the falls to get some photos. Lunch was great with a complimentary drink. We also enjoyed seeing a lot of dogs here to pat. Last was the Blue Lagoon where there was a place to change and we got to spend a bit over an hour here. It was a bit of fun jumping in but always go feet first as bits are shallow. Be careful not to swallow any water as my husband accidentally did when jumping in and believe this is how he got gastro. Overall Yumi Tours was great and provided us with a convenient way to see some major attractions.

          Cheap and convenient
          Found our bus driver quickly after walking out after customs clearance. We were the only couple on the bus and the driver was friendly. Great price and felt safe. He was also helpful with loading/unloading baggage.

          Dishonest and Unreliable Transport Service
          I booked a hotel pickup with Yumi Tours 10 days in advance for 1:30 PM on 11 Jan, as agreed. On 10 Jan, they contacted me at 3 PM to say they only had one driver and insisted I leave at 12:15 PM instead. My flight wasn’t until 3:15 PM, and there’s nothing to do at the airport for that long. I requested any time after 1 PM, but they refused and threatened to refund me if I didn’t agree. I didn’t have any more VUV to arrange alternate transport, so I had no choice but to accept. To make matters worse, they lied to Agoda, claiming bad road conditions. In reality, I was picked up at 12:50 PM, reached the airport by 1:12 PM, and ended up wasting 2 hours at the airport doing absolutely nothing. Don’t rely on their service—unprofessional, dishonest, and extremely bad attitude.

          I don't recommend it
          The experience was not as described. The quad bikes was only a small circuit with no stop at "Grand Cascade Lookout" which was in the description. My bike didn't idle and stalled everytime we stopped if i didnt quickly put it in neutral and rev it, which the organisers didn't seem to care about. We were left there on our own, as our bus headed elsewhere and then had to sit in the shed for 45mins after to wait for it to come back. And the communication was really poor, the driver didn't know which tour we had booked, we were removed from the bus we were originally on and then put on annother one and no seemed to know where we were going! I did get offerred a refund before we started but then what would we do with no transport and nothing else booked (as we got off our cruise ship for a day at port). Terrible orgainisation, I wouldn't recommend Yumi or the quad bikes.

          Vanuatu tour
          We had a great day touring round with Yumi tours. Vincent was our guide and Alex was our driver extremely knowledgeable very flexible. We ended up going about six different places which included seeing the turtles going to Eden on the river, Hideaway Island, duty-free twice, the markets and blue lagoon, back to the ship by five, the best day ever.

          AMAZING TOUR HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR EVERYONE.
          HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING WITH YUMI TOURS FOR EXCURSIONS. When we arrived to Port Villa we got off the cruise ship and Yumi Tours was very easy to find and the vehicle was big enough for 12 people and had aircon which was great as it was humid and very hot. Our tour guide Vincent was the best he was so nice and was very informative about the history of Port Villa on the way to our excursions.Before you start your excursions they do take you to the duty free shop which was great because there was no one was there. FIRST STOP- Edens river was beautiful area very green there was a little kids park there was a little shop does take AUD if you want to get a drink or some food. Beware that the stairs are really steep going down to the river and going back up to the area where you get back on the bus.There is also zip lining and tree tops you can do but does cost extra if you didn’t book prior. But overall Edens was beautiful and was very fun as you can slide down the rocks they do have floaties to slide down the rocks and into the water. SECOND STOP- Blue Lagoon was so beautiful would highly recommend go there,was kid friendly very popular spot there so many people there but was very beautiful swimming spot. Yumi Tours provided a yummy bbq lunch which was so good as after all the swimming we got really hungry overall experience was amazing. THIRD STOP- Quad bike riding would highly recommend for everyone had a really good time but would recommend wearing long pants as the parts from the quad bike were really hot and got burns on my legs and make sure you wear goggles as the tracks were dusty they do provide them also wear covered shoes. Overall Yumi Tours did such a fantastic job and were such amazing people definitely would go again with them.

        Genuine Efate. You get to see more of the island and it's lesser visited attractions. Pepeyo village was very informative and entertaining, and you get to learn about culture and music and medicine. The hot springs and mud bath was earthy and the lady just covers you in mud and then cleans you off. Good coffee stop and good kava stop. The kava stop seems like where the locals go to consume kava, it was extremely strong stuff.
        Our guide Moses was super friendly and chill. Yumi tours is owned by a man named Phillip who personally oversees and accommodates changes to schedule. The Pepeyo village was initially cancelled on the day we went due to a village event, so Phillip took us there personally 2 days later. The restaurant we went to for lunch was closed due to stormy weather, so Phillip and his wife brought their own group lunch to share with us.
        With Yumi tours you get a very personal experience with local people and an exceptionally kind staff.

        We had the most amazing time on this tour (even with the rain!). Our guide Vincent and driver Moses were so friendly, full of knowledge and happy to answer any questions. Being a non-cruise ship day, all of our stops were pleasantly uncrowded so we had ample time to enjoy each experience. Highlights included seeing the cultural dancing at Pepeyo Village, rope swinging at the Blue Lagoon, picking up some fresh coconuts and laughing with our other group members in the mud bath. The delicious lunch with stunning views was a great opportunity to refuel before our last three stops. After a relaxing coffee stop at Survivor Beach, we closed out the tour with an interesting visit to the coffee factory and a kava tasting. Overall a very special, unforgettable day - highly recommend!

        Just arrived home from visiting the South Pacific. Our stop in Villa was made so memorable thanks to Yumi Tours & amazing tour guide Alfred who went above and beyond throughout the whole experience shairing his wealth of knowledge of the island and culture. I would highly recommend Yumi Tours, they were ready for us at the moment we arrived Which was so important being such a large group and had a great day planned for all of us

        Highly recommend Yumi Tours if you want to experience the best of what Efate Island has to offer. We had Moses as our driver and tour guide for the day, he was a very professional and friendly guide to have. His insights and knowledge about the island and culture were engaging and interesting. Highlights of the tour for us included a mud bath and hot springs, swim at the blue lagoon, pepeyo cultural and educational tour and Tanno Coffee factory tour. Bottom line, if you are staying in Port Villa for your next holiday, please do yourself a favour and book a day tour with Yumi Tours, you won't regret it!

        1 hour delay in leaving and communication was extremely poor. My family was made to wait 1 hour due to a bus not being available (which we learnt later in the day)- all without any firm answers or information at the time, simply standing in the sun and waiting. This meant that our trip had to be shortened ( we didn't have time for the Survivor Beach or Kava Tasting and almost didn't get back to the boat in time (2 minutes to spare) which was extremely stressful! During the tour the driver barely talked to us, simply arrived at the attractions and pointed in the direction that we should walk, we were hoping for a little more commentary or the opportunity to ask a few questions. Unfortunately we can't recommend.

        Highly recommend this tour. We had Phillip as a guide and he was lovely. The day includes the more well known tourist attractions like blue lagoon but also other destinations that weren’t on our radar. We were pleasantly surprised going to a beautiful beach on the complete opposite side of the island as well as locally owned hot springs. These places aren’t so frequented so we practically had them all to ourselves.

        If you would like to see the entire island I recommend this instead of hiring a car - the drivers navigate the potholes on the roads like it’s nothing.

        Fantastic value for what you get ! And its a lovely family owned business :)

        My wife and I were in Vanuatu for her 50th birthday. The first tour that we booked was the full day island excursion, it was the off season and we had the tour to ourselves and a personal tour guide with Abel. The tour was amazing and we found we had a number of the attractions completely to ourselves including the Blue Lagoon (for about an hour at least). Abel was very friendly and knowledgeable and it was clear that his #1 priority was making sure we had a great day. I can't fault any part of the day or the experiences we had - for those wondering about taking this trip I can't recommend it highly enough.

        Thanks Yumi and Abel. We were so impressed by the service a few days later we booked the half day Cascade waterfalls and Hideaway island tour and were hosted by Joseph who was also really great.

        Moses and Vincent were wonderful tour guides and really put their all into giving us an authentic experience. We arrived at each location with plenty of time to enjoy the sights and soak up the culture and never once felt rushed. It was a rainy day, but that did not detract from the enjoyment at all. Highlights of the tour were definitely the village cultural tour, the blue lagoon and the hospitality and friendliness of our tour guides. Thank you for having us, Yumi tours. Today was absolutely wonderful.

        I highly recommend this tour! The best tour I have experienced while travelling solo. Philip (the tour guide) is very knowledgable and genuinely care about his country. He took us to 7 spots but did not feel like we were rushed. The views are stunning! But most of it, I really enjoy Philip’s story for each spot and our conversation on the road. This makes the tour feels like you’re spending time with a friend :)

        This was a great tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative. He provided a lot of great information about the places we went and gave us an excellent understanding of the island and country. We are greatly saddened to hear of the damage caused by the recent earthquake and sincerely hope that the people living there will be able to recover from this catastrophe soon.
