User rating
 
9.8 (19)
Unforgettable soft adventures. In respect of the environment and to provide a personalised service this exclusive tour are reserved for small groups. We look after young and old. Due to popular demand, we strongly advise early bookings (it's free, you pay at the end of the tour)to avoid disappointment.

There is always something special about running water, the sound, the feel, the smell, It is even more special when it is a cascading waterwall buried deep in the jungle or river wanding through dense bush. An unforgettable full morning. Drive through a private organic farm before you jump into a clear rock pool. Swim deep into the heart of a tropical rainforest. Experience the tranquility of a sea of forest and relax in a natural jacuzzi. See petrified tree, limestone cave with stalagmites, bats, rope swing, fun and safe for all ages. A must to do! Great tour with kids. Part of our fee support local communities with school furniture, sports equipment and mosquito nets

One of the best!

We had an awesome time on the waterfall and river canyon tour. Pascal and his team are very experienced and knew exactly how to make it unforgettable for us. You will not be disappointed on this tour and only they have access to that waterfall and river so it's very private. No other tour company would be able to offer it. Definitely a must do!

Les chutes de lololima sont un endroit génial, la visite de la grotte est un petit plus très appréciable et Pascal et Henry sont de parfait guide
Tout était parfait, merci pour cette excursion et merci pour tes conseils sur la suite de mon voyage a Vanuatu.
Mon seul regret ne pas avoir assez de temps pour faire les autres excursions.

Maravilloso

Este fue el último tour que realicé en Vanuatu y fue maravilloso. El lugar es relativamente cerca de Port Vila, y una vez llegando ahí, el lugar es asombroso. El paisaje es una de los más lindos que he visto en vida durante los viajes que he realizado y es verdad cuando Pascal dice que es como estar en el paraíso. Disfruté de la piscina natural, con un agua muy clara y una temperatura perfecta para un asoleado día. Después, con la compañía del asistente de Pascal, Henry, visitamos la cueva que está ahí y pude observar pequeños pájaros y murciélagos que la habitan y que por el día duermen plácidamente. Finalmente, en compañía de sólo otro turista, disfrutamos del "jacuzzi privado" (cómo decía Pascal) que fue maravilloso. Es como tener un hidromasaje hecho por la naturaleza!!
Muy buen tour, poca gente (dos turistas) y un paisaje paradisíaco.
100% recomendable para todos.

My husband and I done the water tour and was not disappointed. After a 15 minute drive through a cattle farm we arrived at the beautful falls. A few steep steps but Pascol helped guide us down.
We first went and explored the limestone cave which was very adventureous with bats sleeping in the roof. We then had a swim in one of the rock pools.( the water is alot warmers than the cascades waterfall). pascol took it on himselve to grab our camera's and take photo's and video us which was just fantastic. We then climbed back down with careful instructions from Pascol into a bigger pool with natural massage spa's and also a tarzan rope to jump into with. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour so we had a one on one conversation with Pascol who was full of local information. would urge anyone to do this tour very well worth it and thank you again Pascol for a wonderful afternoon

C'est vrai qu'au départ, on peut se dire qu'aller "Des cascades, j'an ai déjà vu!" et puis finalement, cette sortie toute en simplicité recèle pleins de surprises outre la très jolie cascade idéale pour se rafraîchir : la marche dans le creek, la découverte de la faune et la flore locale et la grotte! Bref, un très chouette moment à passer avec Pascal et Henry qui savent très bien parler de leur beau pays ... et en français en plus!

lololima awesome river

We spent a great morning together with Pascal and especially in reduced group to go to the Lololima waterfall. Really close to Port Vila, the peace of the countryside and the beauty of the river and its waterfall. A tour to be absolutely made if you are on Efate.So sorry we did't have time to ride MOUNTAIN BIKE or kayak..

“Nambawanilicious!”

As I could not find a word or any words to describe this experience, I came up with my own new one, “Nambawanilicious!” Meaning, 'the best & most delicious!'

Honestly, this is your “Must do in Vanuatu!”

Pascal picked us up from our hotel in his unique open backed truck. His vehicle was a sheer delight in itself; we bumped along (reflective of the pot holes in the road) whilst listening to local Ni-Vanuatu music being played through the speakers and we chatted with our fellow travelers about their experiences in Vanuatu.

Access to this Lololima Waterfalls was gained by driving through a private cattle property and then after a brief walk, the most gorgeous waterfall suddenly appeared below us.

Under Pascal’s guiding hand, we traversed down to the waters edge to the base of the waterfall and from here; we then negotiated our way up, through and around the waterfall. We waded upstream and left the world as we knew it behind. This was truly a magical experience; the cool and clear water, the fascinating volcanic rocks and pools, the rain forest canopy, the limestone cave and of course the tiny mosses and ferns told me that this is where the fairy folk live!

Pascal provided us with freshly squeezed lemon juice drinks and snacks of whatever local produce was on hand; in our case, coconuts and sweet grapefruits.

At the end of our Lololima Waterfalls tour, there was time for a swim. . . and for all the Tarzan lovers, a rope swing! Whoa! Fun for all!

This tour was about four hours in length and were around the $55 mark, proving to be excellent value for money.

If you’re in Vanuatu, pick up the phone and call Pascal. See what he’s up to and join him on any tour; you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome advanture

My husband and I took our 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter on the Lololima waterfalls and Canyon trek. Pascal and Henry picked us up from the 'Moorings' in the Vanuatu ecotours truck. The kids thought this was a very 'cool' way to travel and excitedly climbed on board.
We enjoyed the drive up to Montmatre where we stopped for the beautiful views and some general information about Efate, Vanuatu and Port Vila. We were very impressed by Pascal and Henry's ability to engage the children in this discussion.
We continued on through a cattle plantation to the beginning of the canyon trek. Again we learnt more about the Vanuatuan way of life. The kids especially loved the giant Taro leaf umbrellas that Henry cut for them and proudly carried these through the rainforest and down to the waterfalls. We set up camp where we left our belongings and commenced our climb up the waterfall. To my surprise Henry led us right to the middle of a waterfall - surely he didn't think we were going to climb up a waterfall? After watching my children effortlessly scamper up like mountain goats it was my turn. It was easy thanks to the many footholds that had previously been carved in, and with the expert guidance from Henry and Pascal. At the top we plunged into the beautiful 'spa' pool. By this stage my kids were so exhilarated they were hugging each other and begging my husband to photograph them 'arm in arm' in the middle of the spa pool.

Then it was time for the descent! Again under Henry's expert guidance the kids carefully descended. I figured if they could do it so could I - and yes, it was actually fun. We then followed Henry around behind the fall to explore a limestone cave. We saw stalagmites and stalagtites, swallows in their nests, bats and crayfish. Absolute Magic!!!
The kids also loved the tarzan swing and swimming in the larger pool at the base of the falls.
Pascal and Henry then served up a delicious morning tea of coconuts, grapefruit and tropical fruit juice. The ever versatile Taro leaf umbrellas then became tablecloths!

This was easily our favourite experience in Vanuatu. Pascal and Henry have a unique ability to engage people of all ages and nationalities. The experience challenged and exhilarated my children. Pascal and Henry were aware of their safety at all times. My husband and I are thrilled to have had the opportunity to experience such an adventure with our kids. Our only regret is that we didn't have enough time to book in for another "ecotour". Thank you Pascal and Henry.

A must do!!

We booked the 'Waterfalls Tour & River Canyon Trek' based on reviews we found on Trip Advisor & this website - We were not disappointed - this has to be one of the best tours we have ever done!
Pascal and Henry are the most fantastic, friendly & knowledgeable hosts. We had an awesome day in their untouched, pristine paradise.
Pascal reminded us of Bear Grylls, he is Action Man to the extreme and has such an awesome passion for his home of twenty years. This guy knows his stuff and Henry, his local off-sider, is such a cheeky character & a treasure trove of information too.
If you want something off the beaten track, away from the tourist crowds and an experience you will remember for the rest of your life - this tour is for you. The price is really reasonable too - cheaper & far more adventurous than what the cruise ship tours offer.
We will defiantely be back with our teenage boys sometime in the not to distant future. Can't wait to do the Kayaking Tour next!!
Thanks Pascal and Henry this was the highlight of our trip - we will be back!
PS. Check out our photos on Trip Advisor
