Captain Cook Cruises Fiji – Island and Reef Day Cruise

3.Captain Cook Cruises Fiji – Island and Reef Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 752 reviews · from $124

Sail from Port Denarau to Kadavu Lailai in the Mamanuca Islands for a relaxed day of snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, reef viewing, and beach time. A marine biologist leads the snorkeling and glass-bottom boat trips, while lunch, drinks, gear, and hotel pickup from Denarau and Nadi resorts are included.

“The boat was fine, but a bit on the tired side. It could do with an upgrade. The staff were friendly. The glass bottom boat had a crack in one of the panels, so was taking on water. The glass and the boat needed a good clean. It was very shabby looking.”

Spend eight hours with Cruisin Fiji exploring three Mamanuca Island stops, including Mana sand island, Monu deep sea cove, and Mondriki, the Cast Away filming island. Paul, Ben, and the crew help nervous swimmers, serve lunch and drinks, and keep the small-group cruise relaxed.

“The most important thing for a great day is the people. The crew is organized, caring, smart, generous, and most importantly, humorous. The fellow tourists were a group of fun people. A unique experience to go to these beautiful islands with fine sand, crystal clear water, and delicious food. Very strongly recommend especially if you like snorkeling, jumping off the boat, and swimming. The Cast Away movie shooting island is a perfect touch up of this wonderful experience. Thank you cruiseinfiji!”

7.Robinson Crusoe Sunset Cruise Including Dinner, Cultural Show & Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 177 reviews · from $129

Travel from Nadi, Denarau, or the Coral Coast by road and a 30-minute jungle cruise to Robinson Crusoe Island. Expect a kava welcome, earth-oven lovo dinner, sunset, string music, fire walking, and knife dancing. Sam and Samson are among the local hosts connected with the evening.

“On this tour don’t wear nice shoes they will get wet. I wished our family was told this as when you get off the boat into the island and vice a versa you have to step into the ocean. The boat doesn’t completely dock in the sand. Secondly bring water. They do not have cups for water in the island and only have liter bottles of water. The food was mediocre. Talking with the locals after the show they use frozen chicken and stuff in the lovo bc they’re feeding a ton of people so yes it’s understandable but the food is very bland. Eat a little before you go…”

The experience itself was 10/10 but it truly was the crew (Ice, Patrick, Moses, Ray, etc.) who made the experience what it was. Priceless. We will be back again!!!!!”

Finding Nemo – Half Day Cruise to South Sea Island

13.Finding Nemo – Half Day Cruise to South Sea Island

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 94 reviews · from $52Best value

From Denarau, a high-speed catamaran carries you to South Sea Island for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, drinks, and a semi-submersible reef view. Pickup is available from many Denarau hotels. The half-day schedule is family-friendly but leaves limited time ashore.

“Great concept but have to admit by the time you arrive and the briefing, all you can do in the finding Nemo trip is either go in the submarine or snorkel and then your racing back for an 11 pick up - would recommend the whole day”

Fiji: Castaway Island Resort Day Cruise with Lunch

15.Castaway Island Resort Day Cruise with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 50 reviews · 1 day · from $156

Cruise from Denarau to Castaway Island Resort in a small group of up to 10, with coach transfers, a two-course lunch, snorkeling gear, two pools, and five hours to enjoy the beach. Kayaks, surfboards, massages, drinks, and the kids club cost extra.

“Castaway Island is starting to look a little worn down, so no longer the luxury day trip it used to be. The lunch used to be a la carte for day guests, but is now buffet. Whilst a la carte would be preferable, the buffet was a good one, and the Mongolian style bbq worked well. However really disappointingly the Adult pool, whilst billed as such, was full of loud children and families. Nobody seemed to control this from the resort. Timely hotel pick ups, well organised ticketing and catamaran boarding. Comfortable, well air conditioned and friendly staff”
