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.

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.
