Summary:
Our first time in Vanuatu and this tour was included in our package. We were warmly greeted by Daniel and Barbara. Daniel driving the vehicle and Barbara sat with us pointing out places of interest and answering any questions we had. The open air vehicle allowed us to have uninterrupted views of the passing streetscape. Arriving at our destination we walked a short distance to the magical Rarru Falls. There were steps leading into the deep pools and above the falls shallower pools where you could sit and enjoy the surrounds. Barbara prepared some lime juice and fruit while we enjoyed the cool waters. On our way back to our hotel we sampled some kava.
Daniel and Barbara were wonderful hosts and were keen to share their country's beautiful scenery with us. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
