Bula Vinaka! Fuel Surcharge Notice – South Sea Cruises Group Effective for travel from 7 April 2026 (until further notice) Due to a significant increase in global fuel prices, a mandatory fuel surcharge will apply to selected services operated by South Sea Cruises Group (SSCG), including resort transfers and some day trips. Why this surcharge applies Fuel costs in Fiji have risen sharply, with diesel prices increasing by approximately 35% as of 1 April 2026 as compared to March prices. As current fares were set prior to this increase, the surcharge helps offset these unexpected operating costs. Fuel Surcharge Rates (per person) - For this day trip • FJD $10 per adult • FJD $5 per child (2–15 years) The fee is to be paid in FJD and will be collected directly upon check-in at South Sea Cruises Counter on day of travel.

3.00Not much to enjoy at the island. The beach and seashore are not good enough for swimming, snorkeling or other water activities. Other islands seem better. Not the exact island of Castaway indeed. Just an island looking at the real island that took the movie and using the name to attract customers. Staff so far not friendly and good attitude.
Wonderful experience....

3.00It was nice sitting on the boat exploring different island but overall th guide did very little for the group other than make sure she counted the numbers on and off. There were other islands with drinks packages for $25 and $40 ticket with the ferry.. island hotel staff were lovely and friendly.
Excellent day on Castaway

5.00Excellent and friendly crew. Lovely lunch on the island. Plenty of pool and beach time. Watersports were offered but I opted not too. Our guide on board and on the island was excellent but I cannot remember her name. A lovely day on the island until the weather turned late in the day

Exceptional day tour out to Castaway Island

5.00The cruise/tour was very well organised from beginning to end, with professional, yet friendly, warm staff members to look after us. We had to disembark the ferry to a tender and then straight onto the beach, which made me a bit nervous after some weakness in my limbs due to recent surgery. I needn't have worried as there were always strong and willing hands to help me, along with the wide smiles and assurance that I would be okay. And I was. The ferry was very clean and comfortable on all decks and each part of the journey out to Castaway Island was punctual and efficient. Thanks for such a lovely, enjoyable day.
