This was a great trip. It’s quite short so I would recommend booking a few extra days to do your own exploring too.

Vanuatu is a spectacular destination, with amazing sights, activities and culture. This trip is truly special as we visited places that were personal to our local leaders and explored with a real sense of adventure. The experiences were all so memorable, from village visits, to climbing the volcano, home-cooked meals and island explorations, we did so much in a short time and came away with so many cultural insights. Thank you to the Intrepid team in Vanuatu for such an amazing holiday!

What a fantastic trip! Allan and all of the local guides were fantastic and so generous in sharing their knowledge and passion for Vanuatu. Activities were great and every village made us feel welcome. Accommodation was basic but comfortable - be aware that some places haven’t got running water and only provide buckets for showing. Also ensure you have a small bag to pack for 1-2 nights on the islands, as luggage space on planes/boats is limited! Highly recommend this tour!

The local guide made a good itinerary fantastic. Story time with Alan was one of the days highlights. Accomodation and meals are basic but acceptable. More time on Tanna island would be great.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The group we were a part of was just exceptional and we loved our time with them. Our guide was knowledgeable, amusing and bent over backward to make our time with him fulfilling, educational and comfortable. Our time wasn't without adversity, as a major road closure altered our itinerary significantly on one day. The alternate agenda turned out to be a fantastic experience. The only downside was that while the overnight accommodations were adequate, a couple were severely cramped for space. This may just be par for the course in New Zealand though and we adjusted accordingly. It was still a 5 of 5 adventure.

Our guide, Robert with Intrepid Travel was the most outstanding tour guide we’ve ever had. He was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, caring and informative. He set a very high bar for any future guides.

The Kangaroo Island Short Break Adventure was the most amazing tour I've been on in my time in Australia! The tour guide was from Italy and had been living on the island for a few years, so he knew all the best places to bring us. Since I was part of a smaller group, he allowed us to have all the quality time we needed in each location. Every destination we went to was simply breathtaking! I went in Spring (beginning of Oct) which was the perfect weather for this tour.
