5.00This was an incredible day out. The vessel is very modern and comfortable with toilet and bar available at reasonable prices. The tour felt chilled out, the weather restricted our snorkeling spots so mostly hung out at once spot which was awesome just to snorkel as you wanted and take breaks as needed. The BBQ lunch was also awesome. Only downside is it's a long journey on rough roads and traffic to get to port havannah from Port Vila (~1.5hrs) but it's all worth it when you arrive.
Gave us a compassionate...

5.00Gave us a compassionate 50% refund when we couldn't travel due to illness. They didn't have to do that but we really appreciate the gesture as we were gutted we couldn't go. This Major Tom tour gets the best reviews, our daughter did it earlier this year and raved about it, she swam with the turtles and said it was the best part of her trip to Vanuatu.
Very expensive for what we got. for $Au398.00

5.00Very knowledgeable of the culture and areas we explored. I'd not snorkeled before, and was supported to try, by great co-cruisets. I couldn't snorkel but found using googles was as effective to see underwater fish and coral Luch was delicious, and the 2 swimming locations exceeded expectations. Highly Recommend this tour.
A must do

5.00Can’t beat a relaxed day on beautiful calm blue water. Major Tom is well laid out, spacious, and staffed by friendly and professional crew. The snorkeling was a hi-light for me, from Nemo to Hiant Clams. took us to some great snorkeling spots.
Great day out

5.00The crew were fantastic. A really nice way to spend a day! The wind was up a little so we had to go to a few different spots - which were great for snorkelling as well!
Fabulous day of sailing, cruising and swimming

5.00The transfer from Port Vila to the boarding location was terrible. The government should be ashamed with the dangerous pot hole ridden roads - but once at the departure location the fun began. The boat was well layed out for the 14 guests plus crew. The captain, Ben, was terrific, friendly and very knowledgeable. The crew was extremely friendly and happy to look after us. The swim and snorkel stops were very enjoyable and the on board bbq lunch was delicious. It was very hot so the visit to the small village took a bit of a toll on us but again everyone was happy to see us. We highly recommend the trip.
Totally WORTH IT!!!!
