We did an afternoon trip - kayaking out to a small coral/sand island, then snorkelling around it. The instuctions on both kayaking and snorkeling were non-existant, and the staff seemingly uninterested or perhaps just bored. Safety equipment was supplied. The water was rough, and this affected both snorkelling and kayaking. The coral around the island was poor, with only a... More

Wonderful staff and lovely surroundings made a great 1/2 day trip. We had a group of 7 that ranged in age from 16 months to 50's including late teens. This trip worked for everyone. If you wanted to snorkel then you had the most amazing time following all the fish. If kayaking was your thing, then you stayed in the... More

A great experience. The staff were all fantastic, the kayaks and equipment were perfect. The water was so warm and clear. We saw vibrant blue starfish, a cheeky nemo who posed for the camera, and many other sea life. We all swam off the reef, into the open sea, which was like jumping off a cliff, very cool!

Awesome time, wish the coral was more "alive" but all in all a great experience. Missing feeding Nemo because we were too busy with our head down bum up!

Friendly and helpful staff, a good arrangment to kayak to a small coral island first then snorkel around to find Nemos. Feeding fish while snorkelling was also fun. Great greeting and refreshment. Would be perfect if snorkelling time could be longer for those aiming at snorkelling. Mele bay is definitely a better place for snorkelling than pagon island. Or is... More

We had a fabulous time. The equipment was in good condition, swim fins, snorkel and mask were supplied as was a personal floatation device (life jacket), Guides were informative and pleased to assist. They accompanied us at all times. Light refreshments were included. Would recommend this trip and we would certainly do the tour again. If there was a downside,... More

Open Sea kayaking was ok, but rough seas made for a difficult ride for us. it can be a challenge for some to get out of the kayaks in rough surf when you get to the coral island for snorkelliing.

Did this tour when in Vanuatu in March - the girls that take you out are really amazing - friendly and give great confidence. The little sand island also brilliant with good snorkelling when you get there. Definitely one of the better and more professional tours around.

First off, Vanuatu is gorgeous! Going on a glass bottom kayaking tour is really a great way to experience all that Vanuatu has to offer and Snorkeling is one of those things everyone has to try in their lifetime. The staff was very friendly and pleasant to be with. Everything ran very smoothly and was stress free and relaxing. All-in-all,... More
