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.

5.00This was the absolute best experience I’ve had in Fiji. I’ve done other cruise days and would do this one over again. The locations were stunning and the food was amazing!! We had three stops along the way and each had their own unique appeal. The sandbar was absolutely incredible, the clearest water I’ve ever seen and the snorkeling was one of a kind. The second stop was a deeper snorkeling spot and we were even able to do jumping from the top of the boat. The third and final stop was our lunch destination where we had time to explore the island at our own pace and swim on the beach. The crew were phenomenal. The friendliest, warmest family vibe. The guys were extremely knowledgeable and nothing was ever too much trouble. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for the day. They are a fully locally owned and run business and it truly shows. Everyone was made to feel like family. I can’t speak highly enough of cruisinfiji. If you book only one island cruise definitely make it this one.
Absolute highlight

5.00The Cruisin Fiji 3 Island Day Trip was without a doubt the highlight of our entire Fiji holiday. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear water, stunning islands, and postcard-perfect views everywhere you looked. What truly made this experience unforgettable, though, was the incredible staff. It’s easy for a tour company to take people to beautiful places, but making guests feel completely at home is something special. From the moment we stepped on board, the team treated us like family. They were constantly checking to see if we needed drinks or food, always with a smile, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Their friendliness, warmth, and genuine care made the day so much more than just a sightseeing trip. By the end of the day, it honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to friends rather than staff. If we had more time in Fiji, we would have booked another trip with them in a heartbeat. An absolutely fantastic experience that we will never forget. Highly recommended!
Awesome Experience

5.00This was an incredible trip. The guides and everyone were warm, welcoming, fun, and supportive. As someone who isn’t a strong swimmer, I was provided with a life vest and they took the time to make sure I felt comfortable in the water. Visiting the islands was also spectacular and the snorkeling was the best. The island we had lunch on was also quite beautiful and we got to end the day on a relaxing note. If I had more time on my trip, I’d do it again.
Loved it!
