What To Expect

Mamanuca Islands

Departing from Port Denarau, your first stop is the breathtaking Mana Sand Bar — a remote stretch of white sand surrounded by turquoise waters in the heart of the Mamanuca Islands. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided snorkeling session just off the reef, where you can spot vibrant tropical fish and colorful corals in crystal-clear shallows. There’s also plenty of time for a relaxing swim or to capture stunning photos of this surreal and iconic location — known for its beauty and as a filming site for US Survivor. After your swim, you’ll be welcomed back on board with a light morning tea, featuring freshly made banana cake, prepared in our village and brought along for the day.

Mamanuca Islands

After a short 20–30 minute sail from Mana Sand Bar, you’ll arrive at our second stop: the stunning Monu Cove — a deep, aquamarine inlet surrounded by volcanic rock and lush island scenery. This vibrant cove is a playground for water lovers. Guests can swim, snorkel, or for the adventurous, take part in our signature splash competition by jumping off the boat! Whether you’re belly-flopping with friends or gliding into the water for a peaceful snorkel, Monu Cove offers something for everyone. The reef here is teeming with marine life, and the deeper water makes it a favorite for confident swimmers and free divers. For those who prefer to float and soak in the view, the calm cove is the perfect place to relax and recharge before the final stop.

    Had a great day out visiting the islands. We motored out and had morning tea whilst travelling. The first stop was at a sand bank snorkeling viewing the coral and colourful fish that followed your every move. 2nd stop for more snorkeling and coral along a rock face. Our last stop was for lunch on the beach and more snorkeling, swimming and a walk on the island. Lunch was very enjoyable with plenty of food for all. Drinks were supplied for the adults and children. The crew were great and very professional. Some light hearted humour was very entertaining and also informative. Great day out thanks to a good crew of people.

    Plus 5 star tour with fabulous communication and organization/provision by company car and drivers our 1.5 transport from coral coast to get there! Mike at the desk, Ben and crew were attentive and informative from get go! Beautiful areas for snorkeling- sandbar a favourite with bountiful fish and colourful coral, then fun for some lol I declined to jump of the boat - enjoyed the landings of others into the sea lol. Snacks, drinks including alcohol aplenty with beautiful lunch on island of Castaway. Absolutely worth the cost- perfect day, fully recommend. Vinaka!

    We booked the Fijian Day Cruise last minute after a different excursion cancelled the day before. We couldn’t be happier that we booked this trip! Everything about our Cruising Fiji day was perfect. The staff on the boat were absolutely incredible, they took care of every guest like we were their own family. Providing drinks, information about the islands, food, you name it. The locations that we went to were absolutely incredible. Whether you wanted to snorkel or just hangout on the beach the sand bar, cove, and castaway island were perfect for both. The traditional Fijian lunch that was provided was very very good and tested fresh. We would highly recommend booking the authentic Fijian Day cruise over any other excursions offered. The staff really made the day and made it a memorable time for my wife and I.

  • Fantastic staff, plenty...
