A perfect day in Fiji - This was a great way to spend the day. From the moment you arrived you felt welcomed from the amazing staff. We were able to try kava on the vessel. There was plenty to do on the island or just relax.
We saw Bali the next day and she greeted us with open arms.
We will be back.

Amazing experience. - Absolutely unforgettable experience! Our day tour to the private island in Fiji was pure bliss. The staff were warmly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home. Snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters was a dream, with an incredible array of colourful fish to discover. And the BBQ feast? To die for! If you're looking for a relaxing, fun-filled day in paradise, look no further. Highly recommend!

A nice day out - Originally I had booked the sunset cruise but that became unavailable and was offered the day sail and island visit as an alternative.
The ship was a sailing boat and made for a nice sail across to the island. The journey took about 50 minutes but morning tea was provided. Tea coffee and cakes. Alcoholic drinks were an additional cost onboard.
The staff on board were very friendly and happy to show you their culture as they sang traditional songs on the way across.
On arrival you tender boat to the island as the sailing boat can’t get close enough due to shallow water. This may be an issue if you have mobility issues.
On the island you can borrow snorkelling equipment, canoes and paddle boards. A marine biologist is even there for the snorkelling to tell you about the sea life in the area.
Lunch is provided on the island and was salads, fruit, a veggie bake, fish, chicken and bbq lamb sausages. Plenty of food. Soft drink, wine and beer are included but spirits were an additional cost.
On the way back an afternoon tea was provided as tea coffee and biscuits. With more singing from the crew.
A nice day out where you can do as much or as little as you would like.

Nice day out - Was a nice day out. The people are super friendly! We mainly wanted to snorkel and kayak, but the water was very murky. Snorkeling was awful, and we only saw 1 kayak to use. We would have appreciated the opportunity to change days for a better experience as those were the main activities we wanted to do and ended up just sitting on the beach the entire time. The lunch was great. The tour says, "sail". It isn't a sailboat, but a large catamaran. The are lots of tours similar to this one so do your research. If there isn't another option, I would still recommend this activity.

Foreign Currency - NOT NEEDED - Before our trip, I read tons of stuff about our destinations. Most said that you need currency for each country we were visiting (Fiji, Cook Islands, French Polynesia). Well that proved not to be true. Every where we went, whether we took a cab or went shopping, the US Dollar or a credit card were accepted. Dont waste you money on ordering foreign currency. Enjoy your trip.

Not as advertised - Amazing hospitality and great crew. Nice catamaran trip. Good buffet lunch. They have just moved this trip to a new island. The beach wasn’t as nice as expected, lots of rocks and a ton of debris, coarse sand. The glass bottom boat is pictured. I’m assuming the previous location was a lot nicer based on the reviews. To snorkel it is a bit of a swim, and the reef is sparse. So I would go to another island for the price point.
