Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- _swiss_miss_hiBrisbane, Australia121 contributionsJust a 30 min ride from the Port, we arrived at Eden, which is not only the bridges walk but also a farm.
After a warm welcome, we were inducted into the harnesses. The instructors had very good English and patient. A short walk down to the river, stopping along the way for a description of the local plants, and we had arrived.
The staff were very helpful and stationed at each of the three bridges. The bridges are well maintained and sturdy. Make sure you stop along the way and observe the scenery as it is breathtaking. After the walk we had a quick dip in the river which was refreshing.
Short walk up the hill and some fresh local fruit was a wonderful end to the morning.
Toilets were clean and tidy (flushing type) and also a shower available. Food and drinks available for purchase on site.
A great experience!Written 30 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plus flowers veggie chips etc. Food section at back large servings for really cheap price. Real local fare. Curries, fish meat stews with cassava etc.
All friendly and just remember to bring your bag.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Geoff ASutherland Shire, Australia110 contributionsHome to the underwater post office.
Plenty of coral & a myriad of different fish species to be found.
Mid - high tide is best for snorkeling, as the reef can be exposed at low tide.Written 4 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Kia2 contributionsA group of 7 of us visited the waterfalls today and we were pleasantly surprised by the waterfall! We paid $40 each to get in to both areas as we were a group however the normal price is $60 per person! The bottom area seemed alright however we didn't really spend much time there as we spent it up at the waterfall (probably not worth going just for the bottom pool bit) ! You can climb right up to the bottom of the waterfall however I would say you need to be quite physically agile to do so. I would say you would need around 2 hours there if you were wanting to walk to the waterfall and spend a bit of time there!
BE CAREFUL OF YOUR BELONGINGS!!
As we were up at the top and in the water unfortunately someone did go through our bags on the side and stole a phone from one bag and some cash from 2 other bags! We are not sure if this happens often however there were not that many people there today (approximately 5 other groups) so please just be aware!
I think there are lockers at the bottom pool area when you enter which in hindsight we should of obviously used so it would probably be good to do so if you visit.Written 3 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- al.savoSunshine Coast, Australia35 contributionsOur trusty steeds took us through jungle track opening up to a picturesque scene on the beach looking across to Eratap Island. Frazer one of the guides regularly checked in with riders to see if all was well. The horses are in good condition and knew the drill of well worn path with Willie riding up front. We left our backpacks in safekeeping with office whilst on ride. On return the horses were unsaddled and those who chose to go for swim with horses rode bareback. Safe ride even for beginners with pretty scenery. I'd recommend a waist/bum bag or dilly bag to put your phone/camera in. Toilets and change room on site too.Written 21 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adrian P49 contributionsWhat a very cool place to visit. I really liked sitting in the pond and having the turtles swim around me. The staff were fantastic and you get someone to guide you all the way.

- Imogen R2 contributionswent to irikiki island on a day pass, about 25 aus dollars each. had the best time snorkelling seeing clown fish, dory fish and lots of others, a treasure chest down there too! lovely for relaxing and exploring the ocean.Written 6 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MereanaAuckland Central, New Zealand102 contributionsI wouldn't say it's a "must-do", more of a "cool to do". Approx $6AUD to purchase a postcard and pencil, write your message, then post it yourself. The post box gets cleared daily, and you can say you sent a postcard from underwater.
The current was a little strong the day we were out, but the "post office" is right off the beach and near a pontoon so easy to access (and have a break inbetween). You can snorkel to the letter box, but still need to dive down to post the letter.
You can stay on hideaway island for the whole day or just 2 hours like we did. Went for a swim, posted our card, had a drink, then back to the main beach.
I recommend aqua shoes as the beach is (painful) dead coral.Written 5 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The lower pool would better suit those less adventurous who just want to cool off. But for those a little more adventurous head to the top pools with the rope swing, high jumping platform and water fall. My teens loved it and even my wife who is a little more reserved jumped off the high platform.
Once in you can swim under the waterfall. The current of the stream is quick strong but with Simon’s (local owner) assistance our whole family got under the falls.
They also have floatation vests for those who may have difficulty with swimming.
It cost 1500 vat (20aud) per adult (12 and over) and 500vat for children. I thought it was well worth itWritten 18 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He was also away on this trip but a trainee created some excellent drawings for us.
A few people have commented on the lighting level. Low lighting levels are needed in museums displaying textiles. Vanuatu museum has tried to solve this by lowering light levels and installing UV film on the cabinet glass. This combination has made the signs in the cabinets unreadable. The museum needs to seek assistance from museum experts in other Pacific countries on how to work out better displays.
The Lapita pottery is a treasure. No worry with lights on it so illumination on these exhibits please.Written 16 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I especially liked the jewelry, traditional boat replicas, and prints (will be framed). All under cover and on the water's edge. Located in the main hub for easy access for tourists. Reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and easy to talk to. Items are approved to get through customs and purchasing these products supports local artists.Written 1 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
