What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Blue Lagoon, Efate Vanuatu
A wonderful quirk of nature! The water is slightly salty and so blue perhaps from the limestone fresh water springs and the tidal sea water.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Rarru Cascades, near Rentapao Bridge, Port Vila, Efate Vanuatu
Access to this beautiful Cascades & waterfall was only allowed around the middle of this year, 2016.
Come and enjoy a wet and fun filled time at this stop. Kayaks also available for hire.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Naiwe Beach at Blue Water, Efate, 5CPW+WW3, Port-Vila, Vanuatu
Naiwe Beach (aka: Turtle Bay) Turtle Sanctuary
Get up close and personal with turtles at Crystal Beach – and meet Big Ben, their patriarch at this eco turtle conservation sanctuary.
Hatchlings of the two main turtle species found in Vanuatu are collected from the wild and nurtured until they are matured enough to be released into the sea in order to give them a fighting chance at survival. At high tide, if you are game, you can swim with the sharks and the giant turtles in their rock enclosure at an additional cost.
See giant coconut crabs in their natural environment.
Lunch: A very generous serving of our tender & juicy Vanuatu steaks, locally caught fish, chicken, sausages are served with rice, chips & salad.
Next Stop Port Vila Best City Lookout plus Duty Free Shopping
We take you to the Duty Free shops and wait while you shop.
Duration: 45 minutes

This tour was the highlight of our recent South Pacific cruise. We enjoyed the air conditioned mini bus (driven safely by Dimitri) and the wonderful scheduling that allowed us to enjoy the attractions (especially swimming with the turtles) before crowds from other tours arrived. We had plenty of time at each stop and loved the BBQ lunch provided.The sights were spectacular! But the real bonus was Manu our tour guide. Manu shared amazing stories about the Vanuatu islands and the local people. This was our favourite part of an incredible tour. Thank you Manu (and atmosphere tours)Refreshing swim at Lagoon, then onto turtle sanctuary to pat them. Could also swim there. Lunch was lovely.

Refreshing swim at Lagoon, then onto turtle sanctuary to pat them. Could also swim there. Lunch was lovely. Onto blue Lagoon for another swim and fruit refreshments. Manu was very engaging and informative host. Bus driver, Wrungo, did well to get us to each location. If you are doing this tour from a cruise, at the terminal, the buss pick up is to the right, not through the market stalls.Blue Lagoon was lovely , but cold , the kids didn’t mind thou. Cascade falls wasn’t flowing as much as last year but a new deck has been added since last year. A plus for visitors . The kids loved it. A very picturesque spot. This pic is from last years visit.

We booked on a day without a cruise ship docked, so it wasn't too busy. Got to hold baby turtles and feed the larger ones at the sanctuary, however difficult to swim with the larger turtles as they were in a shallow pool.

I found Atmosphere Tours very disappointing. The attractions were lovely but the tour bus broke down 3 times, and the last time we were left standing on the side of the road for over an hour while we waited for a replacement bus. Just very lay back people, while being really friendly and laughing and joking about the bus breaking down, they had plenty of opportunity to get a replacement while we were at the turtle farm. Instead they laughed with their friends and did not attempt to fix the bus or get a replacement in the one and a half hours we were there. When we came back to get in the bus for the last leg of our tour, I asked if the bus had been fixed and they just ignored me. When I asked them a second time, they said yes, yes, it's fixed. Which was not true, they had not even looked at it. We consequently broke down again 10 mins later, and that was when we were stuck on the side of the road. Very very unprofessional on Atmosphere's behalf. The bus was filthy dirty as well. I will definitely never use them again.Beautiful day lovely places we visited, the turtles were amazing one was over two hundred years ago. Would recommend top tour
