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.
Castaway and stay forever

Terrible Operator - Do not recommend

1.00Booked a half day trip for my family on the 21st July costing $474- for the 29th July only to find out it was actually booked for the next day being the 22nd and so I couldn’t cancel with the required 24 hours notice. I tried to change the date or get a refund as I didn’t arrive in Fiji until the 25th but the tour operator said too bad read the terms and conditions. Simple mistake- yet they were only satisfied taking the money and not trying to find a solution. Bad customer service and terrible company to deal with.
Enjoyable informative and care given wonderful

5.00Amazing! Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming the entire time. Good variety of plenty of food, drinks were great and the water was serene. Free stuff to do and extra cost for others. Well worth it! Merewai was so sweet and fun!
Not worth the dollars

3.00Not sure I would pay $250 (NZ) per person for this experience which is basically public transport to Castaway Island. I was expecting a more tailored experience especially for the dollars. We did enjoy revisiting Castaway, the lunch was outstanding and the staff there were very attentive.
Average overall good

3.00The views were great. The people were great. The food service was a little disappointing as it took an hour for food to come out and it was cold.
Fantastic day out

5.00Fantastic day on castaway. Merewai was our host and took us onto the island where she showed us around with lots of information. We then snorkelled and swam and enjoyed the island hospitality. We met Merewai again before re boarding the boat and she told us lots of things about Fiji and the islands. Felt like we had our own private host. Would highly recommend. What a great day and lovely host and people.
Fabulous day out
