My husband and I did this cruise on our 1st Wedding Anniversary (10/5/12), it truly was a sensational day. Jessica was a great tour guide and all the crew took great care of us. It is a must do whilst in Vanuatu. More

Our family had a great day out. Cruising across the bay we had Dolphins on the bow and the skipper turned around so that they rode the bow wave again. Morning tea was provided and there are cold drinks onboard and you pay for them at the end of the day. Beautiful blue clear waters across to Tranquility Island to... More

Luckily the day we went on this trip there were only two other couples so we 6 enjoyed the service provided by Melissa and the boys on the boat all day. We did Turtle watching, cruising, snorkelling and swimming, and sailing. The sights around the coast of the islands are great and the underwater sights the best ever. With a... More

The day didn't start out well, as the bus was over an hour late to pick us up (and did not contact our resort - we had to call their office after 40 minutes to find out if the tour was still running). In the end, the boat didn't leave Havannah Harbour until about 10:30 - late for a "full... More

Great location to snorkle but very cramped on the boat and took a lot of time to get everyone on and off. Nice idea but execution could be better. More

Beautiful snorkeling locations which really made the day worth it. Unfortunately on our cruise some people only got sausages instead of the promised steak for lunch due to a mix up but the plentiful tasty salads helped to make up for it. The boat was clean and well maintained and staff were friendly and helpful. More

Loved our day out with the crew on Coongoola, with thanks to Jessica. The snorkelling out on the reefs off Lelepa Island was a sure highlight! The day was well planned and provided enough time to snorkel, enjoy the time in the sun on our secluded beach where the gorgeous bbq lunch was served, a visit to hideaway island turlte... More

This was a fantastic day out - despite the fact that our tour companions were several families with young children, we made the day our own and had a lovely time. If you don't like overly guided tours - this one's for you. There is a bit of a guided tour to a turtle rookery but once the ship arrives... More

We spent a whole in weekend on a trip to Coongoola and saying the truth we had a fantastic experience overall. We only two my father and me but we mingled well with a small group of other travelers… a group of like minded people from Ireland. We enjoyed swimming to the full and what to say about snorkel experience,... More
