        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!

        We 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.

        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.

        On time, friendly diver, nice vehicle
        Our driver asked for us by name as we stood amongst plenty of other guests waiting for airport or tour transfers. The airport is about 15min from the main street in Port Villa. We had a good chat on the way. This vehicle was a modern SUV, and much more comfortable than the mini-bus that picked up when we arrived. And you could see out the windows!

      Horse Riding was one of the highlights of our trip to Vanuatu, The locals working with the horses are amazing, the ride awesome up through the range and out to the ocean. The horses seem well looked after and after asking were told they are rotated around so not used everyday ( which was something important to me) Lois especially was amazing, sorting out a mess with the bookings (done 3rd party) *** big word of advice for travelling to Vanuatu.....BOOK no activities in advance and nothing through 3rd party operators wait and go directly with the company hosting the activity.
      This activity worth the dollars.....very nice day out

      Amazing experience!! Staff were so amazing and helpful. It was my wife's first time riding a horse and everything went so smoothly. After the horse riding you then have a chance to swim at the amazing beach!! Highly recommend.

      This experience was great! Something that Id never done in Oz before. The horses are typical trail horses but all in good condition. Equipment and tack were in fair to good condition. Having been on many trail rides, it felt safe for all rider capabilities. The ride itself was short - say around 45 mins but the views were amazing. The bay is crystal clear and the sands white. After the ride you get to de-tack your horse and ride bareback into the ocean for a much deserved cool down. I absolutely loved this activity and would go back and do it again!!

      It’s a shame I have to review this so low, because I was really looking forward to going horse riding.

      I’ve been staying in Vanuatu with my family and we recently went on the horse riding, and although the ride and scenery was excellent and definitely worth checking out, the horses were exhausted. They were incredibly slow, which I at first thought they were meant to be that way, but was told by another family that their horses were galloping and showing genuine enjoyment and motivation. The horses were also starving, and were stopping to eat the entire ride.

      To summarize: the ride itself was incredible, but I don’t think the horses are being treated very well at all.

      The views were amazing. We got to ride the horse through the rainforest, along the beach and then into the water at the end. The horses appeared well looked after but my horse stumbled countless times during the ride and both horses often stopped for food - so I just hope they aren’t over worked with back to back rides. Overall it was a bucket list experience and our tour guide took lovely photos for us. Would recommend
