Fun day with great company - Fun tour with plenty of activities and a great guide in Moses. Had a couple of opportunities to swim and also engage in mud bath and also had opportunities to learn about indigenous culture and engage in shopping. A great way to see the island.

Great place to visit, great tour - This 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.

Great day out - Moses our tour guide was very professional with a great sense of humor. We went to a cultural village that was very interesting. Went to the Blue lagoon that was beautiful. Lunch was in a magical place with a great view. What I mostly liked about this tour was the fact that the places we visited were all owned and operated by the local communities. We stopped at the hot springs and mud baths, went to the coffee makers. Unfortunately the kava shop was closed and we opted not to stop at the markets as we were worn out. Moses was quite flexible and was quite happy to answer all of our questions.

Great day out - We 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.

The day tour was inclusive of the Blue Lagoon and lunch, the Hot springs, a coffee house, a kava house, a cultural dance - We enjoyed the interactions and tour description of both the tour guide Vincent and the driver Moses. Both were funny and informative. The tour itself was great because it gave us a little taste of many things to discover in Vanuatu.

Genuine Efate - Genuine Efate. You get to see more of the island and it's lesser visited attractions. Pepeyo village was very informative and entertaining, and you get to learn about culture and music and medicine. The hot springs and mud bath was earthy and the lady just covers you in mud and then cleans you off. Good coffee stop and good kava stop. The kava stop seems like where the locals go to consume kava, it was extremely strong stuff. Our guide Moses was super friendly and chill. Yumi tours is owned by a man named Phillip who personally oversees and accommodates changes to schedule. The Pepeyo village was initially cancelled on the day we went due to a village event, so Phillip took us there personally 2 days later. The restaurant we went to for lunch was closed due to stormy weather, so Phillip and his wife brought their own group lunch to share with us. With Yumi tours you get a very personal experience with local people and an exceptionally kind staff.

Fun, well-planned island tour - It was a jampacked schedule, but the pacing was fine including the breaks. Even the rain and slight drizzle during the lunch break added to the ambience and island vibe. Thoroughly enjoyed the activities especially with the fun group. You get to tour and sample the whole island in one day - starting with a local tribe visit, including mudbath, blue lagoon swim, sampling coffee and even kava! Highly recommended tour!

Excellent day - Excellent day, despite the rain, to go around the island and have a nice overview of all that can be done there (Blue Lagoon, hot springs, swimming in turquoise waters ..). Thanks to Julien for all his explanations about life and culture in Etafe!

Great full day tour at a good pace - Excellent tour, with my favourite being the local village visit! Everyone was very friendly and great hosts. It was a shame that the Blue Lagoon ws on low tide when we came around, but still great with time to soak in. Mud bath was interesting, and the lunch spot was amazing!
