Stunning day out - The check in process is quick and the catamaran ride to the island was smooth and took about 20mins. We got to the island and it was alovely welcome by the staff. We went for a swim in the crystal clear ocean and had a couple of complimentary beers (amd softies for the kids). Went in the semi submersible sub which was fun. Then just did some snorkelling. We didnt realise we were not going to be doing any guided snorkeling until we looked at the time and had to head back to the mainland. I think I would do the half day tour instead which includes lunch and more time on the island. Wasn't busy as the Finding nemo tour arrives before the others, so you have more time to explore without the crowds. The day was perfect so it was picturesque.

Great activity and great price - Really great value for money, nice ride out there and heaps of activities included in the package. Perfect for little ones (I took my four year old) and we really enjoyed viewing the reef from the submersible boat! We booked a full day trip for the next week after having such a great time. We took some snacks meaning we spent no additional money as activities and drinks were included! Highly recommend at such a great price.

Great snorkeling for the family - As a family of 3 we did the half day South Island tour. Overall a good morning out, ran smoothly, friendly staff and beautiful island (close by to marina). We saw a great amount of fish snorkeling off the island. The half day translated to only 90 minutes on the island which was pretty rushed so I’d recommend booking the full day. It was a bit chaotic once we returned to the marina to work out where and who was transferring us back to the hotel, there are a lot of busses and people departing at once. Some clearer directions and identifiable staff would make this transition easier.

Perfect for young families - South sea cruise pick up can be arranged from Denarau hotels included in booking fees. Prompt pick up, clean bus. Inside the port, it’s easy to find the location to collect physical tickets using your booking QR code. The trip over on the ferry is quick, then you’re assisted into a smaller boat to get to the island. Free soft drinks included, as outlined in booking, no lunch for the half day. Sand is very course coral/shells so bring some crocs. The little glass bottom boat ride is short, but long enough for young families and it’s quite hot inside. Time for a quick swim after and then back on the boat to head home. This trip is excellent for young families. I’d probably say children under 10. We had a 4 and 6 year old and it was great. Any longer and the kids would probably get a bit restless so a half day made it enjoyable for all.

Good day out, take a taxi home - A great day out with our young children. We loved the coral viewing boat and a short snorkel trip. The boat ride was fun and it was a good length trip for us. Only negative was that the resort transfer after the trip took nearly an hour as the bus waited for another boat of passengers to arrive. If I'd known this we would definitely have just taken a taxi home as the little one was very ready for a nap.
