- Gerrit V0 contributionsGreat day around the islandHad a great day riding around the island seeing the island and its hotspots. Received a lot of information thank to the knowledgeable tourguideWritten 11 March 2025
- MasonicKnight0 contributionsHighly recommendWe can’t thank Yumi enough. Clear communication when we booked a day in advanced, and they were more than happy to help! We had the driver and the Van for the whole day, private for a fair and great price. We listed the places we wanted to go, and they made it happen. Julian was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, kind and funny. He made the day an absolute delight and we would love to come back and hire them again! -Blake and ChantalWritten 10 March 2025
- alyssajadebetts0 contributionsGreat Service :)Yumi tours are AWESOME! I used them for a tour and my airport transfers and they were on time and even stopped a couple of places along the way to help me out! Super friendly and kind! highly recommend :)Written 3 March 2025

- josephgV8463CV0 contributionsYumi Tours reviewVincent 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!Written 4 February 2025
- Marina H0 contributionsExcellent company to deal withWe used Yumi a number of times during our stay, for tours and airport transfers and found them very reliable and informative. 100% recommendWritten 23 January 2025
- Clare M0 contributionsAwesome serviceWe used Yumi tours several times during our stay and they were wonderful every time! The guides and drivers were friendly, helpful and informative. We can’t wait to come back and when we do we will be using Yumi tours again.Written 20 January 2025
- jessicafF3972FZ0 contributionsCheap and convenientFound 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.Written 16 January 2025
- HKcouples0 contributionsDishonest and Unreliable Transport ServiceI 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.Written 10 January 2025

- polomom620 contributionsGreat place to visit, great tourThis 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.Written 20 December 2024
- JanicenTe0 contributionsGreat day outWe had a great day out with Moses our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, was very aware of those of us with mobility issues and took us to places that benefited the local communities. The transport was comfortable and air-conditioned which was appreciated as the day was very warm. We didn't feel rushed at all.Written 9 December 2024

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.

This tour was amazing. My partner and I loved this experience and as it was my first time overseas I was so relieved to have a tour that was so well organised and so much fun!! We were able to find the meeting point easily as the team had a big sign and were waiting for us. We had no trouble travelling throughout the day travelling on the van as our driver Rodger had a meeting point for us at every stop. Eden on the River was beautiful place to swim and relax. I recommend bring water shoes as the river floor is rocky and the path is gravel. The highlight was the Blue Lagoon where we were provided with bbq lunch before jumping and swinging into the lagoon. There are also shallow spots to swim and stand in if you have young children or are not a great swimmer. The vans were clean and air conditioned which was great especially with the humid weather. Thank you so much Yumi Tours I couldn't recommend you enough for making our day in Port Vila so memorable.

Lovely friendly Island resort. We arrived to snorkel and I spotted the diving. We had less than 2 hours and the operator accommodated me with a one on one dive in that time. The underwater post office is an added treat. The coral is bleached so not great but plenty of small fish to view.

Alfred, Julien and Philip were excellent tour hosts. Alfred's social, historical, economic and geographical commentary was informative and entertaining.
We considered this tour value for money and a great way to spend a day out if you are staying in Port Vila.

My partner and I had an incredible experience with Yumi Tours. The tour was well organised and exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Phillip, was exceptionally knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
We had plenty of time to explore each location, and the seamless pick-up, drop-off and transfers between each location made everything stress-free. We couldn't fault their services at all. Highly recommend Yumi Tours for anyone looking for a fantastic adventure!

Vincent and Julian were phenomenal. Picked us up right on time from the port, and really catered to the group and what we all wanted to do. Learnt so much about the local community in such a short amount of time and the places we went to were incredible!! They went above and beyond and go us back to the boat on time. Would highly recommend Vincent and Yummi Tours to anyone who visits.

Great tour of three beautiful spots in Vanuatu, yummy lunch, just a bit disappointed with tour guide, could have explained a lot clearer where and how long we need to go at each spot. Also we seemed rushed even though it started late without reason. Had to follow up why we had not been picked up at the designated time.

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.

Everything from the beginning of our discussons with Yumi tours, to the final drop off back to the ship was a smooth and good experience.
We did a private tour for 4 of us, and chose the blue lagoon, turtle sanctuary and hideaway island for our stops on the day.
The blue lagoon was more touristy than we expected, the turtle sanctuary was good, then we went to hideaway island for swimming and snorkelling.
Hideaway island was nice, and not very crowded. A huge amount of fish we saw when snorkelling, swimming all around us which was pretty special. Unfortunately the coral was quite damaged, obviously from a lot of tourists over the years. Next time, we would try and find a more prisitine spot on the island to spend our time.
Phillip was an excellent guide, meeting us as expected, and we had no trouble finding him when we got off the ship. Nothing was a problem, and we enjoyed the time spent with him very much.
So, in summation, a very pleasant day was had by us all, and we would certainly book with Yumi tours again.

Had a really fantastic time on this tour! My guide was Moses and there were only two of us on the tour itself. We had slightly different itineraries so the other guest was dropped to his first stop and I was taken to mine, then met up for the rest of the tour. Also included lunch at Eden on the River which I wish we explored a bit as it was beautiful and had lots of activities, so will definitely go there next time I'm in Vila.
