Fun at Port Vila - We arrived at Port Vila on a Cruise ship and booked a driver and guide through Yuma tours to take our group of 8 to the Blue Lagoon and Eden on the River. They were at the wharf to meet us off the boat. the process was easy efficient and both Alfred and Phil were friendly, knowledgable and made us feel completely welcome to their country. Along the way to the blue lagoon and Eden on the river, Phil our driver kept us safe and Alfred gave us information on all the local icons, customs and interesting facts and a real incite into their country, customs and values. We had a fantastic day, the kids loved jumping into the blue lagoon and river from the ropes, both destinations were beautiful.We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Yuni Tours for making it such a wonderful shore excursion!!!

Flexible tour of the island - Great option to have the car to ourselves for the day and go at our own pace. We saw Bridges of Eden, Blue Lagoon and Reef Zoological. Chris the driver was great.

My Second Time Booking With Yumi Tours - Can’t Praise Them Enough!! Vila’s Best Hands Down ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Another wonderful tour with Yumi Tours in Port Vila. Great communication with Philip, the owner. We planned a day to see what we wanted to see, and nothing was too much trouble. Our driver/guide Abel went above and beyond to find a book for me so I could learn more Bislama. We met Philip at the dock, and went off with Abel to start our day, in a lovely air conditioned van. We stocked up on cold drinks (and Abel’s favourite biscuits☺️) and made our way to the very interesting National Museum of Vanuatu, and then onto the Duty Free shop. We also visited The Reef Vanuatu and was very impressed with the pristine conditions of the turtle/hatchling enclosures and the knowledge of the guides at each pool. It didn’t take long to see everything as it was quite small, but worth the visit. Our next stop was the Blue Lagoon, one of my favourites. As always, it was beautiful and refreshing. This time around, we enjoyed the Yumi Tours BBQ lunch that was put on by Philip and his beautiful wife, and staff. The cold drinks were particularly welcome, and we didn’t want to leave! Philip, Jayne, and their children feel like family to me, and I can’t wait to see them again next year when I book my third tour with Yumi. Vanuatu is truly a beautiful place, with very friendly and welcoming people and Vila holds a special place in my heart. If I could live there, I’d move in a heartbeat. Thank you Yumi Tours💖

Fantastic day and experience. Highlight of our cruise. Book with Yumi Tours! - Enjoyed a fantastic day being driven around Efate by Abel. Abel is very friendly and knowledgeable and added to our experience by sharing cultural, historical and geographic facts with us. He is also very laid back! We visited the duty free shop for very, very cheap alcohol; Coffee stop at Havannah Eco Village for amazing views of the tranquil bay and islands; Pepeyo Cultural Village which is very interesting and well worth a visit where Chief "Watcha?" shared his local knowledge about hunting and medicinal plants' walking on hot rocks and musical performance; Volcanic springs and mud bath - amazing experience to bathe in the mud, rinse off and "cook" yourself in the 50 deg. C. pool; Very tasty & plentiful bbq lunch cooked by Philip (owner of Yumi Tours) and his wife and mother-in-law, and finally a visit to share in the local kava experience. Cannot fault our tour, so do yourselves a favour and book a private tour directly with Yumi Tours. You'll not regret it. Thank you Philip and Abel for making our day on Efate the highlight of our cruise.

Best private tour in Port Vila. - We organised a private tour as 7 in our group and much cheaper than the cruise ship tours and we went where we wanted to go. Easy to find on the dock, our van and driver waiting for us. Abel our driver was amazing, knowledgeable, friendly and adapted the day to our requirements. It was so good to go to thermal baths, village with no one around. We had lunch at blue lagoon and had lots of fun jumping of platforms and swinging from Tarzan ropes. I highly recommend Yumi’s tour, best part of our cruise.

Fantastic experience. Highly recommend - We booked this trip as we were visiting for a day on a cruise ship. There was 11 of us in the van. Our driver was fantastic and took us to blue lagoon, turtle sanctuary, hideaway island and the famous duty free shop. He was so knowledgeable, lots of fun with a great sense of humour. The van was comfortable and air conditioned. It was the best day of our entire trip! Can’t wait to go back next year and will definitely book with Yumi tours again

Good and Bad - Driver was friendly and communicated clearly. He took us to places of interest and a couple of places we requested (Including the Church on Sunday morning) Only problem we had was that he took us into Cascade Falls. We paid the entrance money for our Group of 7. Problem was that after heavy rains the previous night, the falls were totally inaccessible. Nice "rip off" for the people supervising the falls (all friends of the driver) We booked Yumi Tours privately before we left Australia. We note that the Cascade Falls tours arranged on board our ship were all cancelled on the day due to flooding and dangerous conditions - they needed the money more than us....but not good PR for the tour company. I have forgotten our drivers name...I think it was Carl.
