Really enjoyed our snorkeling experience, saw a turtle and lots of interesting fish and the large clams. The guys were very helpful when I was having a few issues with my snorkeling gear. Moses from Yumi tours was a great tour guide. Very informative and a lot of fun.

If you’re looking for a half day tour this one was fabulous. Philip was a wonderful guide telling us about Vanuatu on the way to Roawia Marine Reserve. Here we snorkelled a beautiful little area. Saw big giant clams, turtles and “Nemo City” the biggest colony of clownfish I’ve ever seen and the area where they grow new coral. I highly recommend. Can’t fault them

This was a great unique experience, we were the only 2 on the tour so they made it special for us. Drink and fruit provided at the end. Ishi our guide was so caring and his friend followed us in a canoe, in case we needed help. He held my hand and led me to the turtle and we watched him swim away.

Wonderful and informative guide. We loved every second. First timers and we thoughly enjoyed. Seeing a turtle in the wild, giant clams, Nemo city and how they are regrowing the reef. Afterwards had rock melon and fried banana still hot and it tasted amazing. Their Lemon juice is to die for. Wonderful day thank you.

Our tour included a cultural village experience, a chocolate factory, snorkeling and a coffee roaster. It was great value and a small intimate tour. Our guide Philip provided good commentary throughout the tour - something we found missing with an earlier tour. He was very open and honest about his country and keen to point out various places - even adding the unscheduled stop at the coffee roaster at the end of the tour. The snorkeling was the highlight of this tour for us, we even saw a turtle amoungst the corals.

Koko was very knowledgeable and helpful. Genuine village life going on around us. People were friendly. Saw lots of fish. No turtles today but it was a natural experience. Saw giant clam.

First we went to Back to Eden on Efate. Here we were greeted with our snorkeling guide who kitted out those that needed the equipment thence to the waters edge. We, the group swam out to our guides favourite spot above the giant clan. Loads of fishes were observed including Nemo or his father🤣! We then swam further along the reef in search of the elusive turtles. One of our party saw one, but kept it quiet!! Refreshments were available on our return. As this was a half day trip, we persuaded our bus guides to go to the Turtle sanctuary where turtles and other threatened species were observed!

We waited for 30 minutes for our guide. I tried messaging with no response. Our hotel called and was told they had forgotten about us and we’re sorry, but there was a cruise ship in and they couldn’t make it. Another phone call told us that someone from the village would come and get us this was now over an hour later. A 30 min snorkel with a village local, then 90 min wait to go back to hotel. The villagers were lovely and very welcoming, but the cost of this in no way reflected our very disappointing overall experience. Would not recommend Yumi Tours.

Hello Julie, we appreciate your honest feedback and we'll improve from the issues raised.

Max and the team are amazing! The reef rejuvenation project is truly great and really interesting and the snorkelling was amazing! Beautiful colourful reef with lots to see! We’d definitely recommend this trip and best snorkelling on the island!
