Overview

This is a full-day sail from Port Denarau to a Fijian island, roughly seven hours door to door, with roundtrip transport from select Nadi and Denarau hotels included in the fare. The boat leaves the marina at 10am. On the crossing, the crew run a kava ceremony, play guitar and sing, and one reviewer described morning tea with light snacks being served during the ride.

Once ashore, the day opens up: a BBQ lunch, drinks including beer and house wine on the island, and a long menu of activities. There is guided snorkelling led by resident marine biologists, a glass-bottom boat for coral viewing, kayaking and paddleboarding when conditions allow, beach volleyball, and a guided nature walk explaining the island's plants and wildlife. A kids club runs for younger travellers, and the island has freshwater showers, shaded dining and private amenities. Fijian cultural entertainment and live music are part of the day, before the return sail to Port Denarau, docking around 5pm.

It suits families, couples and anyone who wants an easy all-inclusive day without organising transport, food or gear. Travellers who prefer a quiet, uncrowded beach should know the cap is 100 guests. It is not wheelchair accessible.

Getting there. Pickup is included from select Nadi and Denarau hotels but not the Coral Coast.
Crowd size. The boat carries up to 100 travellers. One reviewer described a very full departure with not enough sun beds for everyone, so a beach towel is a smart backup.
Food and drink. The BBQ lunch, morning and afternoon tea and soft drinks are included. Beer and house wine are served on the island rather than on the boat, a point several reviewers flagged, so budget for boat drinks if wanted.

Sea conditions. Water activities depend on conditions.
Extras on the island. Scuba diving, massage and hair braiding are paid add-ons, as is a private shade cabana. Reviewers spoke well of the diving, though one had a poor massage experience.
Kids and pace. Infant seats need prior notice.

Ready To BookCheck availability →

Common issues. The most frequent complaints are logistical rather than about the island itself. Water activities, including the glass-bottom boat and kayaking, can be cancelled for safety or equipment reasons. The operator requires good weather and a minimum number of travellers; if either causes cancellation, guests are offered a different date or a full refund. Not wheelchair accessible, and gratuities are not included.
