LPCRUISER58 Posted July 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) We spent a week or so here for our daughters wedding a couple of years ago. Cascade falls is worth the look, have a swim or just sight see. We also did a buggy ride through villages and through Villa, they are located in town, better to book direct, again watch what time you get back. You can also hire a mini van for a half day tour or a longer drive if this does not stop you boarding on time, there are plenty to chose from. If chosing a mini van, barter for a reasonable price, quite cheap if you get the right driver and price. When we are there in late october we are doing a helicopter ride, good price and apparently you fly past the ship in port. Good Luck Glenn Edited July 7, 2014 by LPCRUISER58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathiecatt Posted July 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi - we took a tour to Crystal Blue Bay - the water color was gorgeous - they had a turtle rehabilitation centre and coconut crabs. It was a few years ago and they were working on improvements. There are great markets in the centre of town too. I know there is a new tour and souvenir shop in town (and it's air conditioned :))so worth a visit :) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngFam Posted July 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Totally recommend Cascade Waterfalls, absolutely magic place. We also enjoyed snorkelling at Hideaway Island. If you book a mini van for the day, you'll be able to fit so much in. We've also on other trips to Vila done horseriding along the beach, zorbing down hills and swam in the beautiful blue hole. There's so much to do in Vila - Enjoy!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgb3 Posted July 8, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Wow thanks. Do the mini bus drivers recommend places to go and see or things to do? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCRUISER58 Posted July 8, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The short answer is yes, they normally get a commission or bonus from the places they visit if they are a commercial type business. They will also take you to tourist type places with no commissions, generally speaking they will ask you what variations you want to see. Their time is their own so you are really just paying for the taxi ride with local knowledge. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
