Amazing tour guide and driver. Told us about the history of the islands and had such a great knowledge on Vanuatu. Went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience.

Our day tour to Blue Lagoon and Eden River during our port day was the highlight of our cruise!
The stunning salt water lagoon was a standout. Kids and adults alike all had so much fun leaping and swinging into the water!!
Then we moved on to Eden River to wash away the seasalt and explore the small, fresh water rock pools and waterfalls.
Vincent was a great guide sharing many interesting facts about Vanuatu's history and culture.
Julian drove us safely to our destinations and back in time for a spot of market shopping before heading back to the ship.

Two top locations. Eden on the River and The Blue Lagoon. Nice little cafe at Eden to grab a drink , coffee or toastie
We did the 8.30 pick up and there was hardly anyone there

Great tour, Karl our driver was really friendly and informative, very professional. Had a great swim at both blue lagoon & Eden River. Interesting driving thru country side. Confirmation said pick up at Iririki azure but we actually needed to be over at wharf at Port Villa - maybe should clarify this as we only found out by asking employee on Iririki.
Otherwise everything ran really smoothly. Definitely recommend Yumi tours.

Arrived at 8:15am for 8:30 departure and the bus didn’t leave until 10am. We waited on a bus and wasted our time when we only have limited time at port villa.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Angela, unfortunately this is a shared trip and we have limited vehicles and drivers. The tender process can be a bit tricky and we regret that you had to deal with that today. We appreciate your review as it'll help us improve our future tours.

It's a three hour, nice tour to two very much different places in Efate island. Ask guidance how to move around the Eden by the river. There's more to see than just swimming.

My mum and I booked this day trip and had the best time! The Blue Lagoon and Eden on the river are just beautiful and the whole day ran so seamlessly. Everyone was so friendly and kind. Couldn’t fault it at all.

Incredibly blue waters at the Blue Lagoon. Lovely to swim in. Rope swings and high platforms to jump off for those who want to.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks for reviewing our service ☺️
Matt_W, Jun 2025
Our first trip to blue lagoon was met with rain and this half day tour made up for it, plus the added bonus of the Eden waterfall. Nice taste of both sites but 1 hour may not be long enough for some.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks Matt for the great review 🙂
Roshelle_T, Mar 2025
So lovely! The waters of the blue lagoon were just beautiful, and our tour guide Vincent gave us an insider on the real lagoon! Heaps of high jumping spots, ropes and a big area to swim. We came during a low period so not too many people around which was lovely, gave us good picture opportunities. Bring your goggles and floaties because it’s deep and there are actually quite a lot of exotic fish. Again a big tangkyu to the cheeky Vincent and Louis who kept us safe and well informed on our trip!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thanks for the great review ☺️
Anna_H, Jun 2024
We started off at the blue lagoon which was gorgeous. The tour guide was great and helpful. We then took off to the eden by the river which was also gorgeous. The only thing I’ll say is you don’t get much time there. That was disappointing. We didn’t even get a full hour . We got there and was told we only had half hour there. It literally takes 15 minutes to walk down get changed jump in check everything out then straight back out. If you want to actually enjoy eden on the river i suggest to go by yourself and not a tour. Other than that both places were amazing
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you Anna for reviewing our service.
Daniel_T, Jun 2024
Very friendly guide. We were delayed getting off ship and they waited for us and altered the day itinerary so all guests got to experience the tour in full
I would recommend this tour and would use them again
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thanks for the great review.
Melanie_M, Apr 2024
We enjoyed the tour and the site and the tour guide was good however this was not a half day tour for us. we left the port at about 9am and by the time we got back to port it was 6 hours later and spent most of the time in the mini van driving and dropping others off at there full day tours. We then missed out on walking through the markets as we were exhausted.
Might have been better if they just put all the full day people together and the half day people on one bus.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Melanie for reviewing our service. This will certainly help us improve our service.
Rau_P, Jan 2024
Eden on the River was beautiful, Blue Lagoon just as beautiful but very busy, but you can see why. Would book with Yumi again, easy and the communication was great.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thanks for the great review.
Joshua_P, Dec 2023
My wife and I were lucky enough to do this on a day where we were the only two people on the tour, so it was like a VIP private charter. Julien our tour guide was great, very friendly and shared lots of knowledge about the areas we drove through and Vanuatu life in general which added to the experience.
The Eden cascades were amazing, and one of my favourite activities in all my time in Vanuatu. My wife loved it too but she even preferred the Blue Lagoon which was good fun and provided great swimming and activities.
All in all, we were very happy we did this tour and saw a couple of these Vanuatu highlights. We lucked out with it being a quiet (non cruise ship) day. Julien added to the experience for us and he comes highly recommended. Everything was very smooth and definitely was one of our favourite days of the trip

Thanks Joshua for the great review.

YUMI tours were an amazing experience! From the moment we met our driver and guide we had an awesome time.
Ricky and Moses were two of the most genuine, honest and friendly people we have ever met. They kept us engaged with information, stories and laughter.
We thoroughly recommend Ricky and the crew down at YUMI for an unforgettable Vanuatu experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for the great review.
Kathleen_R, Dec 2023
The people were great, the lunch was lovely & Eden was great, try to go early to beat the crowds. The van was not quite up to scratch but we made it.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you. We appreciate your review.
Adrian_G, Nov 2023
Everything was perfect, from the moment we desembarque the yumi team was waiting for us . It was comfortable knowing that we were not the only peplo who booked a tour with them from the same ship .
The transport was clean and comfortable GuaGua ( our driver ) was very kind and gentle with our kids not to mention Vincent our tour guide who tried his best to keep us well entertain and let us now as much information as possible.
I was about worry from the beginning to book a external tour from the ship but it was worth it .
Response from Host, Nov 2023

YUMI Tours are fantastic - friendly staff, and so welcoming.
We got to see beautiful sites, swim in beautiful locations, and eat a lovely lunch put together for us all from the great yumi tour staff.
Highly recommend!

Awesome day out with Abel the driver and Ricky the guide. The Blue Lagoon was a spectacular clear waterhole for swimming. Eden on the River was breathtaking with beautiful gardens, rampaging river, bridge walk and zip line. And to Phil who drove us back to the resort you have a great team, thank you.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you so much for the great review.
Emma_M, May 2023
Such an incredible experience. It was beautiful, personal and very well run. We had such a wonderful time, our guide went above and beyond to make an unforgetable tour. Thank you!
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you Emma for the amazing review.
Fiona_M, Dec 2022
The lagoon is a beautiful water hole and such an unusual colour. There was plenty of sun shade and someone to help use the rope swings. The cascades were fun too. There was a kiosk there where you could get a drink and light lunch/snack. Make sure you have runners or water shoes for the trek up and down the stairs. Our guide Able was lovely and had lots of interesting things to tell us about the island. Highly recommend.

Thank you Fiona, We're happy to have hosted your family during your stay.
