This was an amazing trip run by a an awesome company - airtaxivanuatu. Great personal service and professional people. We were picked up from our accomodation and taken to the airport where Milly checked us in made us feel welcome. Flew off from Port Vila in a 6 seater Cessna with our pilot, George who took us for a clockwise then anti clockwise flight over the volcano before landing. Luke then picked us up in a 4 x 4 and we travelled through the rain forest and over the ash plains to Yasur. After a welcome ceremony we were taken up to base camp on a bumpity track then climbed to the crater rim to behold the mighty volcano. She boomed with delight and put on a magnificent fiery display to honour her guests. As the light faded the true power of nature was revealed. The glowing interior growled and hissed as we peered in. This was one hell of an experience that you couldn't get anywhere else! After darness fell we were escorted back and retraced our steps to our resort. Rockwater Eco lodge. I was expecting a shabby excuse for eco tourism but was delighted to be shown to a beautiful apartment akin to a hobbit house, but made of stone. An amazing place and very welcome after all the excitement. We had a great dinner homemade from local produce bY our hosts. If you only go to one place when on holiday in Vanuatu, DO THIS TRIP!!!!!!!

Great Day, Physically challenging, my one suggestion is to make sure you stop now and again and enjoy the moment. As you are climbing down ladders and over rocks we tend to be focused on ground. Stop and soak in what you are doing and look around. Hopeful to return again, Thank you Jerry and Paul for looking after us. You are going to get wet, you will get dirty, you MUST have walking shoes that you dont mind getting wet. If you are on cruise ship remind them of your return time.

Dived with Coral Quays Resort, they've got an awesome dive operation and setup, the equipment and guides are all top-notch, and safety is their first priority. The wreck itself - wow! So much to explore, I did 23 dives in one trip, and still didn't see most of it! Highlights were the night dive with the flashlight fish, and Tom's magical mystery tour down the back end of the wreck. I'll be back there again as soon as I can!

A half day excursion floating down river, snaking your way through the dense Vanuatu rainforest. The river has carved out a magnificent gorge, lined with remarkable limestone formations and overhanging supersized ferns and trees. You will exit at Mount Hope Waterfall. Exiting the waterfall you will follow the guides on an instructive walk through the lush jungle and finish with morning tea, infectious laughter and smiles coming from the happiest people on the planet. Travelling by road from Luganville you will see the daily village life in all its simplicity. Required are closed (reef) shoes and shorts. Bring camera, towel and change of clothes.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience with 3 very helpful guides. Safety standards can be interesting in different countries, this group had an initial safety talk, waivers were signed, safety gear was provided, water shoes, gloves, life jackets. The guides were very coordinated, positioning themselves to assist & ensure guest safety, I was very impressed! The gorge itself was breathtaking to float gently down. Small rapids were not an issue with our guides to direct us & help. The waterfall was warm & not slippery to walk up. There was also a small cave directly under the waterfall you could go into to view from the inside. I am a 54 yr old with chronic arthritis & the only issue I had was the moving water at the waterfall set off my vertigo, again the guides (& my partner) were quickly able to allow me to grip their hands & walk over it. Magical experience !
