5.00This trip exceeded our expectations! Everyone on the boat was so friendly, we went to two different reefs to snorkel, and food/drinks were provided the entire time. This was the best snorkeling trip I have ever been on!! The reefs were beautiful and we saw tons of fish/other sea creatures during the experience, especially at the second reef. The slide/jumping off the boat was a fun aspect too. Overall, amazing experience and would highly recommend this excursion to anyone!

5.00The Ride and Slide trip was wonderful! Fantastic snorkeling included seeing two white tipped sharks!! The light lunch was a delicious gourmet deli lunch. The slide and jumping off the boat was a fun added experience. The staff was professional and provided outstanding service. There was plenty of time for snorkeling. The boat is new and very comfortable with lots of shade available on the first deck. This was our favorite excursion in Fiji. Recommend renaming the excursion “Snorkel and Slide”.
10/10 would do again!

5.00This experience was a 10/10, I couldn’t recommend this enough. Being able to swim with the fish was a moment I’ll take with me forever. Staff was so good with making us feel safe and they also gave us information on different islands that we passed and even joined us in the snorkeling

5.00Great fun for the whole family, Food and beverages were great, staff were a lot of fun and the snorkelling, slide and jumping off the boat from the second level were highlights. It was also good that it was limited to 30 odd people on board.

5.00Absolutely phenomenal experience, the boat takes you out to the reefs where you experience the clear aqua water which almost seems fake it's that incredible! The large reefs are filled with tons of different fish. You get 4 hours to play in the amazing water, sliding off the inflatable slide, or paddle boarding with friends! South sea cats have it all, including a delicious lunch and unlimited snacks and drinks. The crew made it more special, they are extremely friendly and encouraging with the best sense of humour! It's very important to book South sea CATS (ride and slide) and don't get confused with South sea cruises. I believe the Cats one is better as the smaller group allows you to meet everyone on board and get closer with the crew . By the end of my trip the 15 of us were all singing karaoke on the way home after touring the islands after our swimming. I strongly recommend!!

5.00This is an absolute must do! The experience, the staff , the lunch all brilliant! It’s a 5/5 from everyone in our family. Just the right amount of time on and in the water. Every staff member attentive and energetic. Just what we love and expect from the Fijian culture. Kids got off the boat and asked to do it all again tomorrow!
Amazing day
