About Us
Exploring the Wonders of Vanuatu
We’re a proud family-owned and operated business that has been sharing the beauty of Port Vila’s marine environment with visitors since 2008.
What started as a small, local operation has grown into one of the most trusted tour experiences in the harbour built on genuine hospitality, local knowledge, and a passion for the ocean. From day one, our goal has been simple: to give guests an authentic, safe, and unforgettable experience both above and below the water.
Being family-run means we take everything personally from the condition of our boats to the way you’re welcomed onboard. Captain Jimmi has been with us since the beginning and many of our crew have been with us for 10 years plus, and together we’ve created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where guests feel comfortable, looked after, and part of something special.
We know these waters like the back of our hand. Having operated in Port Vila since 2008, we’ve carefully selected the best reef locations to ensure calm conditions, excellent visibility, and an abundance of marine life perfect for both first-time snorkelers and experienced ocean lovers.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming thousands of guests from around the world, including many cruise visitors who trust us to deliver a seamless, on-time experience that fits perfectly within their day ashore.
At the heart of everything we do is a deep respect for our environment and our community. We’re passionate about protecting the reef, supporting local livelihoods, and sharing the natural beauty of Vanuatu in a responsible and sustainable way.
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. With years of experience operating in Port Vila Harbour, we’ve built a strong reputation for delivering safe, reliable, and well-organised tours you can enjoy with confidence.
All of our tours are led by experienced, trained local crew who know the waters and reef conditions inside out. Before entering the water, every guest receives a clear safety briefing, including guidance on snorkeling techniques, equipment use, and what to expect in the water.
We operate in calm, sheltered areas with shallow depths (approximately 6–12 feet), making the experience ideal for beginners and families. Flotation devices are available for added confidence, and our guides remain in the water and nearby at all times to assist if needed.
Our vessels are regularly maintained to high safety standards, and all essential safety equipment is carried onboard. We carefully monitor weather and sea conditions, and tours will only operate when it is safe to do so.
We are committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free experience from start to finish—so you can focus on relaxing and making the most of your time in the water.
