5.00Nice cruise out to the island , well organised by friendly staff. Best food we had in Fiji at the barbecue lunch. Glass bottom boat underwhelming due to the degraded coral , snorkellers and divers might have had better views . Recommend this cruise
Beautiful Day Cruise

4.00Amazing experience, the staff is so knowledgeable and fun.They really include you and keep you entertained. The snorkeling and kayak experience is great. For lunch you get a BBQ spread and unlimited beer, wines and soft drinks. It’s well worth the price, I highly recommend.
Go with the locals

5.00Went on Saturday with many locals. Fun tour back with lots of singing. Found secluded spot with lounge chairs. Free drinks all day and lunch buffet was plenty and yummy. Snorkelling along island reef was pretty good. Best was to see a 5ft reef shark just crossing below 3m away. Go when the locals go if you like to feel Fijian.
A must trip while in Fiji

5.00It was incredible. Highly recommend this specific trip, it was very personable, we felt the crew really connected with us all, we were lucky enough to have a small group so more intimate. Island all to yourself. Snorkelling fun! Scuba diving great! Lunch was delicious. Very very chill and would absolutely recommend this to all my friend and family. Boat is really cool as well.
Amazing! Best cruise ever!

5.00We had a great day on the Captain Cook Cruise. The staff are welcoming and friendly. It was a very windy day! We went snorkeling and did a short walk about how the Fijian people use various trees for medicine in the past and currently. It was very interesting! While on the island they served us a delicious lunch! On the boat they had live music that was fantastic! They served us tea and cookies. As entertainment one Fijian man showed us how they peel a coconut with their teeth! Lastly- They pull out 10 Crown of thorn starfish daily that kill coral. They put them all in a bucket and bury them in the sand! It's a scary looking creature that eject poison if touched like venom. We learned this from the marine biologist on staff! They sang the Fijian farewell song and hugged us all goodbye. Vinaka Fiji! I miss you already!!
This is my second attempt...

1.00This is my second attempt at a review . I have only had positive things but not for the day trip. They told us we cant go on the morning snorkel but we can in the afternoon and one turned up than to tell we could not be found at the meeting place . The manager however ignored us for most of the trip back . Only reason i know i approached the person and asked why didn't you take is out. Never again will hire my own way yo do this
The crew were very nice...
