Summary: Went hiking with Barbara in a small group and learned about the native plants and wildlife, she was happy to answer any and all questions we had. Ecotours also does a lot for the local community which we were very happy to hear and learn about.

Summary: I was lucky the tour went ahead even though it was just me. Jacky is a fabulous guide. No need for me to do any research of Vanuatu traditions or customs as he told me just about all of them. The walk itself was wonderful and the highlight of the walk was definitely going through the two villages to experience a taste of local life. Thanks Jacky for making this tour a memorable one.
