Best day in Fiji - Selecting the right cruise for a day trip is very confusing , with so many options . We met Buna at the marina sales office and were instantly sold on whales tale . The company is family run and offers an all inclusive tour . We had a light breakfast , great lunch , afternoon tea and unlimited drinks . We spent 3 hours on our own private island where we did some of the best snorkeling you will ever do , glass Bottom boat , staff vs guest volleyball . All in all a great experience, expertly run on a great sailing boat oozing character. The staff are all amazing . If you want a day out in Fiji this company are first class .

Best day in Fiji! - This was our favorite excursion in Fiji! The crew was wonderful, attentive and engaging. They really made the day memorable and were fun to be around. They also catered to a gluten free request for someone in our party which was really appreciated. One of the best parts was the music on the sail back to port. We started outside but the rain came and we all went into the cabin while the crew played guitars and sang songs. It didn’t take long for all the guests to join in and everyone was having a lot of fun. Some things about the island could be considered rustic but that was part of the charm. The crew was really wonderful and made sure we all had a great day!

BEST Cruise Company in Fiji - Wow, what an amazing day! The trip on board was so so friendly and accommodating. You get breakfast on board, beer, wine, and soft drinks ALL day. The weather was superb, and entertainment on board was outstanding. One of the crew members had an amazing voice. He sung beautifully . Oh, you could have soft drinks, tea, and coffee. The island had enough shade. You can either snorkel around, go on a glass boat, and feed the amazing fish. You have enough time to walk around! Don't forget you also get a basic lunch, with all the drink I had mentioned. Thoroughly enjoyable day and very reasonably priced.

Whale’s Tale = Happy Sail - I had done several excursions in and around Nadi and none quite lived up to expectations. One boat was nothing but a glorified ferry service. 15 minutes snorkelling?! Anyway this trip with Whale’s Tale went way beyond my expectations, my last day in Fiji and so glad I left the best until the last. There are limited numbers on board and your greeted with a champagne. We cruise along past islands until we reached our own desert island for as much snorkelling as you can handle, which by the way is amazing, with a crew member along to look after you. Lunch was fantastic and the cruise back under sail with a few wines and the crew entertaining us with Fijian musical was magical- just didn’t want this day to finish. Pick up and drop off to accommodation included. Crew were fabulous and attentive and fun. Magic day, highly recommend it.

Amazing experience! Would recommend for all. - The boys did an amazing job providing entertainment on both the boat and on the island. The guide of snorkelling was beautiful. The game of volleyball was inclusive and lots of fun. The food was amazing! They provided a gluten free meal on the island last minute when they were lately advised of me being coeliac, (not the company’s fault) and then provided a gluten free meal also back on the port. The island was beautiful and would recommend to family and friends for when we come back.

Fantastic from start to end - The bus picked us up from our hotel on time, we went straight to the Denarau port where we checked in and then went down to 'Whale tale' and Nathan and the crew were there to help us on and greeted us with a fijian song. Nathan was such a great host they served up champagne, fresh fruit, muffins etc, there was also other drinks if you didn’t want champagne. The crew were so good as well, Nathan explained to us the island where we sailed past we went past the island where Tom Hanks made castaway, went padt the South sea island & the bounty to reach to Schooner island where we disembarked and we snorkelled, or went on the small boat to see through the glass at all the fish and coral. Lunch was lovely with 3 salads, bread, chicken, fish and sausages were served up follow up with fresh fruit and plenty to drink. All in all for my husband & I we met new people from other side of the world and it was a fantastic day with singing & laughing while sailing home. Thank you Nathan and the crew for a great day.

Fantastic from start to finish! - This was a fantastic day out. The crew were very welcoming, playing guitars and singing as we boarded. Every member of the crew was attentive and helpful, getting us whatever we needed before we knew we needed it. The food was delicious and the drinks were free flowing! Our time on the island was relaxing and fun, with guided snorkeling and a beach volleyball game with the crew. On the way back they got the guitars out again and played some songs and got the guests involved too. Overall it was a fantastic day out with a very friendly and fun crew. I would highly reccomend this day trip.

Loved snorkelling - The trip was awesome great food drinks and staff & service to start Awesome snorkel but the glass bottom boat was not wht we expected it was leaking water and was pretty rundown. heading back to shore end of the day we were approached with a tin asking for tips, we didnt tip them at the end of trip as we didnt carry cash with us we suddenly göt the cold shoulder and felt awkward.
