Why the US$71.49 tour costs US$142.98
The turtle morning’s US$71.49 is per person, but one adult alone cannot book it: the booking page asks for at least two participants. Two adults pay US$142.98 together and three US$214.47 (checked November 2026). The kayak and snorkel, the Moso day and the cascades and Hideaway tour work the same way.
For one person, the lowest price among the GetYourGuide tours compared here is the Lelepa day at US$112. On Viator, Vila Hope Tours and Transfers’ Hideaway Island Escape takes one person: 6 hours with the Blue Lagoon, Hideaway Island and the turtles, entry fees, snacks and lunch, from US$118.

What the prices leave out
- A towel, a hat and sunscreen on the turtle morning: bring your own.
- Snorkel gear on the cascades and Hideaway tour, and the upper-pool entry fee at the cascades. A 22 October 2026 reviewer of that tour felt both should have been in the price.
- Drinks on the sailing day: soft drinks, beer, wine and cocktails are sold on board, and pickup outside Sailing Vanuatu’s Port Vila zone costs extra.
- Hideaway Island’s own fee if you go on your own: the Vanuatu Tourism Office gives a 2,000 vatu day pass per person, paid on the island (13 November 2026).
If you would rather look at the reef without getting wet, Vanuatu Watersports Port Vila's glass-bottom semi-sub spends an hour on the harbour from the seafront, at US$47.00 each for at least two people (US$94.00 for two; checked November 2026).
Every GetYourGuide tour here can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before. The turtles themselves are not for sale: snorkelling with turtles in Vanuatu covers what reviewers found.
