5.00Very beautiful island, food of great quality and quantity. I recommend! The island is very small, about 10 minutes to walk around.

5.00We booked a full day tour from Nadi to South Sea Island. Sadly on our trip it rained. However, it is the experience that counts and the boat sail to South Sea Island went by Malamala Island first. Smaller boats took us from the boat that brought us to the island. The sun came and went. The lunch was extraordinary and plentiful for all who were in attendance. Even seconds given for some. The drinks were never ending. As with anywhere else in Fiji, the people are very welcoming and friendly. Could not do enough. For some visitors who appeared to be in greater need of attention, the locals were too obliging. My only recommendation to South Sea Cruises is not play loud music on the island. I am thinking most of the visitors do not live near the sea with the sounds of waves and the wind through the trees. The loud music takes that experience away. Would I recommend this tour? Absolutely.
Not worth all the money

5.00Amazing experience! Everything was well planned and organised, especially as we were staying at the coral coast which is a bit further away than other resorts. The snorkelling was unbelievable! We saw so many different types of fish, coral and saw turtles! The lunch buffet was delicious. All the staff were welcoming. The marine biologists that took us on our snorkelling trip were funny and very informative. A great day trip!

2.00As a big family group we were unimpressed with the day. We thought there was supposed to be a Fijian Meke performance at lunchtime. We arrived on the island and a very short time later lunch was served. Good food but the timing wasn’t great.
