You will be wowed by the little 3 seater that whisks you between islands. Fun, quick, and you will enjoy pilot Pauls conversation. More

We spalshed out for our honeymoon, just this once. And boy did the seaplane transfer set the tone for our dream vacation in Vanuatu. The pilot was friendly, knowledgeable and you could tell he was an all round nice guy who had an enthusiasm for Vanuatu and flying. We got to see Vanuatu from such a wonderful perspective that i...

Ten of us flew with Paul (in three trips) to Pentecost and back over three days for the Land Diving. I think it's safe to say it was a major highlight of the trip for everyone. It was an amazing experience, to fly so low and wave to boaties and fisherman and to see our town of Luganville from the... More

We recently took the 1 hour flight around Efate as part of our honeymoon in Vanuatu. It was a great experience. Beautiful scenery, a very knowledgable pilot, fantastic insights into the island - and even some introductory flying experience for my complete novice husband!! We got to fly low over some amazing reefs, plane wrecks, beaches - and even our... More

After flying with “Seaplane Paul” over the paradise known as Vanuatu, words could not describe the feelings of exhilaration. The flight was by far the highlight of our stay in this magnificent location, and that in itself is saying something… The breath-taking views provided a perspective of the islands we would not have been able to comprehend by staying on...

We decided to do this on the spur of the moment when we went to Irriki Island for a visit and saw the seaplane at the beach. One of the beach attendants rang Paul the pilot for us and he came down to see us straight away. We decided to go right there and then. As per the previous review... More

This was fabulous. We went out on a perfectly sunny morning and had great views of all the main attractions. We did the Southern Spectacular which was a new route covering Hideaway Island, Mele Cascades and still going over Port Vila and surrounding villages and the other resorts. I was able to fly the plane over the airport runway which... More

It all began when my friends and I had (seaplane) Paul to take a group photo for us. Thereafter, he shared his story of how his grandfather was involved in maintaining planes during WWII and how he came to learn to fly them. His story intrigued us, and we couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to sit... More

We cannot recommend Vanuatu Seaplanes highly enough for your wedding day. Paul kept me updated and informed by email, phone and personal meetings every step of the way as the day was a total surprise for my husband to be ( a pilot also who has a love of seaplanes ) The little touches were very welcoming like the chami...

A truly magical experience from the air! My girlfriend and I had an informative, relaxing and entertaining flight visiting the best of Efate island from the air. We saw breathtaking sights and beautiful vistas that you cannot experience any other way. It really tied together our trip and Paul was a true gentleman and looked after us completely. Can't wait...
