Well-organised and professional tour experience - with chocolate! - Our guide Moses met us at the port as we got off the cruise ship, and we were escorted to a waiting airconditioned minibus. There were two other groups with us, but one of them must have been delayed, so the itinerary was moved around slightly to accommodate this. We did manage to miss the initial parts of the chocolate information talk, but were there in time for the tasting! The Blue Lagoon was refreshing, Eden on the river was pretty (we went for a walk, not a swim here) and lunch was plentiful and delicious. We had an up close and personal encounter with some of the wildlife (as an added bonus Moses did NOT bring the spider onto the bus!) and we had a running informative commentary for most of the trip. Overall a well-organised and professional tour experience.

Professional and easy tour! - Yumi tours were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the tour. We had a little hiccough where the chocolate factory was not open on Sunday (my mistake for booking despite being aware of this!), so Stan the guide offered to do Blue Lagoon and Eden, and the chocolate factory the following day (Monday). Blue Lagoon was fantastic. I went early in the day and it was quiet. The weather was rainy but this didn’t impact the lagoon, it still had crystal clear water and a warm temperature. Be aware when entering the lagoon that it can be very slippery, so hold onto railings. Next, we went to Avi Turtle Sanctuary as a bit of a side-quest. This wasn’t included on the tour but was suggested by Stan (and made clear it would be a 2000vatu entry from my pocket - no problem!). It was small, but each guide was knowledgeable about their part of the sanctuary. You can feed the turtles, but I was quite happy to watch them. Eden was the next stop. It had been raining heavily overnight, making the water muddy and the current fast. I didn’t go into the rapids, but was able to get my feet wet on the side. The bbq lunch provided with the tour was fantastic. The following day, Stan picked me up and took me to the chocolate factory. The guide Rose was fantastic, very knowledgeable and welcomed all kinds of questions from me. The prices in the shop were reasonable, but I recommend taking Vatu as the Aud prices were a bit above the exchange rate. Overall a very professional and easy tour, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Yumi tours when I am back in Vanuatu.

Small friendly business that is worth the time to visit - What an amazing boutique chocolate factory. We arrived outside the normal tour time but the lovely lady gave us a private tour anyway. And we got to taste their whole range of chocolates as part of the tour. Fantastic! I would highly recommend this.

A fun day out - This morning we were greeted by Yumi Tours and loaded into a well air-conditioned Mini Bus. From there Alfred our guide and Julian our driver took us to Lagoons, Rivers and the chocolate factory. Alfred was extremely informative, friendly and did all he could to give us a great day out The chocolate tour was average at best buy we did get to sample plenty of chocolate and was well worth it. Eden on the river put on a great BBQ lunch and the tour got us back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting port Villa

Great day out - Punctual pickup by Abel and then off for a day tour around Port Vila. We visited the blue lagoon, mud pools, native village, where the fire walking was performed. These villagers were keeping their culture and customs alive with the help of the tourists. We had lunch at the turtle park and were given a talk by the turtle man. Able was very informed of the local politics, education policies, customs and languages.
