BIKING with Vanuatu Ecotours

User rating
 
9.6 (10)
Get outside on one of our super comfortable bikes and become part of the relaxed style and unique vibe that personify Vanuatu. Guided Tours: With 25 years of active involvement in outdoors activities and fluent in French, English and the local language Bislama Pascal has relationships to take you places and to meet people not normally accessible to the general public. This means a Vanuatu Ecotours experience is something you will always treasure

Just a few minutes from town Pascal will safely lead you along any number of our many different tracks that accommodate for all levels of experience and fitness. Cycling is great way to see more of Vanuatu either exploring the regions around Port Vila or one of the many tracks nearby. Whether through pristine jungle often following untouched rivers, climbing hills to see great vistas and visiting stunning beaches the experiences will be memorable. Part of our fees support local communities with school furniture, sports equipment and mosquito nets

Off the beaten track

Take a trip with Pascal- you won't regret it!

Tour Review

Things you liked about this tour:
Pascal takes you on a trip to places off the tourist trail which is really refreshing. His local knowledge makes it that much better. Oh and did I mention the freshly squeezed mango juice at the end?!

J'ai beaucoup apprécié mes deux sorties avec Ecotour, la première en vtt et la seconde en kayack. Pascal nous fait partager son expérience et son amour pour le Vanuatu, il nous emmène à la découverte de paysages grandioses, à la rencontre de la population locale, tout celà avec beaucoup de professionnalisme, mais toujours dans une ambiance détendue et chaleureuse.

Time with Pascal was just great !!

We'd really recommend that you spend some time with Pascal !!

Tour Review

Things you liked about this tour:
Wedid all three types of tours with Pascal - kayaking, the river walk and the mountain bike ride - and they were all really good: saw fascinating parts of Efate we wouldn't have otherwise got to; had very enjoyable physical outings; were thoroughly entertained by Pascal's lively descriptions; and all with a very high level of professionalism, both with respect to tour organisation and guiding.

a trip back to nature

We did not know how to swim, but we finally finished kayaking tour under the help and guide of Pascal who is very patient and enthusiastic. We enjoyed the crystal clear water under peaceful water surface, spring coming out from underneaath,different kinds of orchid on the trees, singing of the birds, quick shower and bright sunshine right afterwards... We really like the fresh local fruit and home made lemonade, good taste!
It's a true trip going back to the nature.
We do not to worry about any other things along the trip but bring a good mood.

I pre-booked this directly through Pascal's email address and all of the arrangements absolutely lived up to the details on the website. Pascal and Henry were both very informative guides and their attention to their group was good. The kayaking took the group along a slow running section of river which provided ample opportunity to appreciate the jungle surroundings and the activities of the local villagers on the river bank. After the kayaking there was time to enjoy a spread of local fruits and to swim in the river with a rope swing to entertain the youngsters.

Things you liked about this tour:
Excellent guides and our expectations from reading the information on Pascal's website were most definitely met when we went on the tour.

An afternoon in a Kayak paddling around a river 20 minutes away from the bustle of Port Vilia was an excellant way to spend a relaxing afternoon on the water. Pascals unintrusive commentry on the surroundings was well worth while. We were in a group of eight people with a choice of single and double kayaks for transport. MY wife and I found the single kayaks to be more fun from experience in NZ but for the couples who wanted to take it more leaisurely the doubles were perfect. Don't expect to see alot of widelife but do expect jungle down to the waters edge and sqatters from Tanna doing there washing in the river. Make sure you have a go on the rope swing over the river at the end of the tour at the delightful new base that Pascal has hacked out of the bush

Superbe tour à Lololima

Si nous retournons au Vanuatu, nous ferons sans hésiter appel à Vanuatu Ecotours !!

Tour Review

Things you liked about this tour:
Nous sommes allés à la cascade de Lololima avec nos enfants de 4 ans, la visite guidée a été très agréable, sans parler de la gentillesse de Pascal et d'Henri un vanuatais qui parle aussi bien anglais que français. Pascal et Henri sont toujours prêts à nous faire plaisir et ont répondu aux demandes des enfants.
Les enfants ont été ravis et la découverte d'une petite grotte cachée derrière la cascade a été très instructive pour eux... et pour nous !
Things you disliked about this tour:
Nous n'entendions pas toutes les explications dans le bus, c'est dommage, mais cela ne nous a pas gâché le plaisir !

Canyon walk

My morning with Pascal was fantastic!

He has a lot of experience and a great attitude towards nature and the environment.
Pascal cares most about your safety and is always friendly and helpful.
Henry the native guide has extensive knowledge of his cultiure and land and the guy is just a pleasure to be around I will miss this guy a great deal.
