4.00Staff was great. Boat needs some work. They need to build some infrastructure on the island so you don't have to go back to the boat for lunch. Beach was great!!
Overall experience was ok...

2.00Overall experience was ok - pick up from hotel was ok as it was in a minivan. - once we got to the port, waiting for the vessel was a bit of a nightmare. Had to wait 1 hour before departure. - then another 30-40 mins to get to the island. So getting there was an unpleasant experience. - once there, the faculties on island were ok. Basic but that’s fine. Island in itself was beautiful. - food was horrible. Really basic and not pleasant - staff were friendly. - return trip again was an unpleasant experience. Get to shore was another 40 minutes. Then we had to wait in a coach for our return trip to hotel. We had to wait for another 30-40 minutes for it to fill up before we left for our hotel. Will lot do this again
Highly recommend

5.00Excellent place to visit with family. Something for everyone. We went snorkeling and paid extra to scuba. The boys at the dive centre were extremely good at what they do. Very enjoyable experience. The buffet lunch was delicious and having access to unlimited drinks was great. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the port for our boat ride out. Both were very comfortable rides. Would definitely book this full day trip again!
Awful experience

2.00Would never do this again. The shuttle driver didn’t even announce my hotel and took me all the way to the airport and I had to pay for a taxi home. The check in process is a nightmare at the port and despite confirmed tickets will take 45 minutes to get your boarding pass. The island was fine until they ran out of snorkeling gear for over an hour because they let people check it out with no time limit so they take it and then just let it sit by their chairs not using if for hours. Missed all of the guided snorkeling. This was an absolute and utter waste of my money.
What a wonderful day....

5.00What a wonderful day. Highlight of my fiji trip. Travelled with my 3 year old daughter and mum. They had the time of their lives. Daughter and mums highlight was the submersible boat. Mine was the snorkelling. Cultural singing and dancing was breathtaking. Thanks for having us. So friendly.
