An incredible island to explore in Fiji. We were able to see baby black tip reef sharks and rays the minute we stepped into the ocean! Travel there was seamless (just under 2 hours by boat) which is a wee bit harder on the way home. Only “negative” was we only got 4.5 hours on the island but was enough time to relax, snorkel, swim and eat! Would highly recommend.

Would rather have saved the money and the day staying at our resort in Denarau. Had to pay for beach towels and the buffet was mediocre. Transfer back to our hotel was chaotic. Our tour guide, Merewei, was lovely and the staff on the island were very nice. Enjoyed the welcome singing and departure singing too.

The snorkeling was great and the buffet lunch was delicious. I would have liked the pool to be a little cooler as it was a bit warm.

A beautiful greeting on the white sands by the staff as we got off the boat! Straight to a hammock under the trees with a coconut water from the gardens. The whole experience was bliss from the moment we stepped off the boat! Vinaka Castaway staff! I will remember you always xo
