I booked a couple of day trips and airport transfers on Efate with Evergreen and I have to say what an outstanding service! Pick ups on time and friendly tour guide and driver. The day trip to Pele islands was the highlight. The drive takes you through villages while the guide comments on the day to day life there and tells us about the organisation of life in the villages. Then a short boat ride takes you to Pele. And that’s where the magic happens. The snorkeling off Pele was stunning. Sea life and corals are the most colourful and untouched. The afternoon is made of swimming, barbecue lunch and tea time and more snorkeling. A great day out of town. I also booked the half day to Mele Cascades Waterfall and the falls are just gorgeous, turquoise water and tropical forest. I definitely recommend Evergreen for your activities in Vanuatu.

We live in Vanuatu, but not on Efate. We were in Port Vila on business, but we were looking for a family outing on Saturday. My wife called Eden on the river and arranged transport from our hotel and back for quite a reasonable fee. We had Eden to ourselves, except for staff, friendly dogs, sheep and other critters. Our eight year old daughter was so excited before we got there that I was afraid that reality would be a letdown. It was not. Everything exceeded our expectations. The playground was a really high quality construction of wood, tires and ropes. Our daughter was delighted with the farm animals in the park. The cafe was closed so we brought sandwiches with us to eat in one of the picnic shelters. Then we went to the river. Our daughter had so much fun swinging, splashing, swimming and chasing prawns that she wore herself out, and me too. I am looking forward to coming back some time to explore more of the underwater nooks and crannies in the sparkling clear river.

Get away from town, and actually experience the relaxed life of the islands. Why visit a turtle place to see turtles in fenced wall, while you can snorkel and see wild and free marine life. Also have the chance to do some nature walk and educate yourself on some leaves and plants we, locals use for remedies. Discover the hidden cascades of the people of Mangaliliu. There’s nothing better then a taste of paradise.

5. Tokatan Full Tour - Biggest Banyan Tree & Toka Dance
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
To fully experience the incredible Tannese culture, the "Nikinamap Toka Dance" captivates you with its vibrant dances and intriguing kastom ceremonies. See first hand dances that celebrate significant dates and seasons in local village life – the harvesting of the yam, traditional circumcision ceremonies, and the famous toka dance which celebrates unity in an island once known for tribal war and cannibalism. The Tannese culture is closely linked with our natural environment, so it is fitting that part of our tour includes a guided walk from our village down to Vanuatu’s (& possibly the worlds) biggest banyan tree, which has to be seen to be believed! It is the village children's own personal jungle gym and boasts of at least 3 trunks and a canopy expanse filling an entire valley. Here you will wind your way through a network of pathways in and around, up, over and through the giant tree.

This company is not reliable. Our guide hardly spoke English! Agency organize culture tours around Tanna island and transfer from airport to Yasur mount and back. Our car was so dirty that it was very difficult to breeze normally! All tours to Yasur organizes ENTANI TRAVEL. And be ready to pay them 9500 vt. Tokayantours can arrange dirty transfer only for 5000 vt. p/p. For example, tours to Yasur with round trip transfer from and to airport from ENTANI Travel costs 13500 vt. p/p. Cheeper and better!

My friend and I had the pleasure of travelling to Port Vila this summer! All our tours were organised through Flight Centre as part of our package. We had no idea what to expect and were amazed by the excellent service from Evergreen Tours. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience on this tour thanks to the amazing Adair and John, our driver and tour guide. They went above and beyond making our experience a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Thank you!
