Enjoy the romance of a Fijian Sunset with a Tropical BBQ Dinner. Your three-hour Fiji dinner cruise aboard the luxurious twin-deck SV Fiji One takes you on a scenic sail past idyllic tropical islands, all back-lit by the setting sun. As you glide into the sunset, enjoy a BBQ dinner accompanied by fresh salads. For a real treat, choose the lobster upgrade to savor the essential taste of the Pacific -- whole local lobster chargrilled and served in the half shell with accompanying seasonal vegetables. Your dinner is accompanied by tea and coffee, or order drinks from the onboard bar service (own expense). After dinner, sit back and enjoy traditional Fijian entertainment, including a cultural show, provided by singers and musicians. As the horizon turns from sunset pink to deep blue twilight, watch the stars light up the sky, reflecting on the water -- the perfect end to your evening cruise around Fiji’s Pacific islands. Sample Menu From the BBQ: • Fish of the day • Peppered sirloin steak • Sauteed vegetables • Chicken shish kebabsSalads: • Green salad • Kumula and potato salad • Ota and miti (local spinach and coconut milk salad) Dessert: • Tropical fruit salad • Baked banana in coconut creamPlease note: This is a sample menu only and is subject to change due to seasonality and availability.

Be really sure you want to book the Sunset Dinner Cruise. Payment is required upfront and we are still waiting on our refund. We have tried for 3 days to call/ email regarding our booking cancellation and getting a refund. The company is great at emailing regarding upselling your experience but terrible at any other form of communication. We even visited the “office” at the Denarau island marina only to find it closed.

When we booked this tour we were promised a cruising experience - in reality the boat left the harbour and 'cruised' for about 20 minutes and then idled. The boat was not even placed in the direction where the sunset could be viewed and we were not allowed to go to the rear of the boat to view the sunset. I appreciate that with diesel in short supply there may have been a need for less cruising time but this was not disclosed up front. The live music was good, the buffet extremely average and again not correctly described e.g. prawns were featured in the description of the buffet but there were only tiny prawns in one dish. At dessert there was not enough fruit salad to go around. The live dancing is best summed up by a statement made by one of the performers "I know you are bored, I'm bored too". At $185FJ/head this was a completely underwhelming experience - if you look at my other reviews I am always honest and fair - I would not recommend this tour to anyone and in hindsight wish we had booked elsewhere.

Bula Buffet means self service but the waiter was serving us. The coleslaw was bad and I told the lady in the bar and she said it was cooked in the morning as a chef was unavailable. You can’t even take Kokoda in the bowl ,you have to put in the plate. I asked the waiter needed a bowl and he said is that whole family of 4 having ? I said “NO” then i was allowed to take a bowl of kokoda. I even filled the complaint form .It’s not the same as before it’s an embarrassment and it is ridiculous. One piece of chicken they gave on a plate and you can’t even like serve ur own food from the buffet that’s so weird. We still paid for it… i wont be going back on it again. Was my 5th time and the service has gone down big time. However staffs a very friendly.
Great Night Out

Nice people! Nice boat. Good time. But… we didn’t really go on a boat ride. We basically slow drifted w the motors running - occasionally breathing in diesel fumes because we were moving so slow. Other than that, great time and fun night. W the crew!
Good entertainment but so so food

My wife and I are still scratching our heads as to how this excursion got such great reviews. Book if you dare, but if you do, I bet you'll be saying you wished you had taken my advice not to once you've completed your journey. The start of the trip was OK, as we boarded and received our welcome drink and got seated at the front of the boat. It seemed like it could be a good trip. Unfortunately that was the extent of the good part of the trip besides getting off the boat at the end. The music on the outside deck at the start of the cruise was nice. They came around with some weird "canapes" that were bland and we were given a napkin to put them on. No plate or silverware to use to consume on/with. They also just had us use our fingers to serve ourselves from the tray they were on. No serving tongs, forks, toothpicks or anything else, so who knows what type of nasty unwashed hands were touching the food. The sunset was nice and as it did, we were invited into the cabin for dinner. That's where everything went down hill very quickly. The food was TERRIBLE, and mainly because it was all COLD. Absolutely none of it was hot, it was all luke warm at best. In addition, the selection was lacking. It was either a salad or a couple of curry's to choose from. But considering meat is dangerous if it's not held at a proper temperature, they had a lawsuit just waiting to happen. What was hot, was the whole inside cabin of the boat. The AC was barely functioning, so we got to sweat while eating our cold food. What fun that was. To close out dinner on the extremely slow and torturous cruise back to the dock, the crew did some dancing and tried to get all of us to join it. Several of us did not as we were already drenched in our own sweat from just sitting there watching. We are SO glad we didn't book any of their extra "upgrades" because I was upset enough about how much I spent on the basic cruise. We did a South Seas 7hr daytime excursion 2 days after our Captain Cook Dinner cruise and only paid about 20 USD more and their food was AMAZING, not to mention 2hrs of complimentary beer and wine for 2hrs of the trip with private umbrellas and chairs and drink service on a sandbar. I recommend doing that type of excursion instead of this one.
