A perfect day in paradise

5.00A perfect day- well organized, lovely crew, clean, great food and drinks. The boat was comfortable w choices of seating- bean bags on the trampoline in the sun or tables w bench seating under a tarp for those wanting shade. The snorkeling was great- different types of coral, blue starfish, tons of black and white “zebra” fish swimming all around me- even touching me- so cool. The white sandy cay we stopped at was also clean and nicely set up w plenty of beach chairs to look out at the gorgeous sapphire sea and lushy, hilly islands- a pavilion for those who wanted shade. One could swim/snorkel to the cay or ride on a motorized dinghy if preferred. Lunch was great w veggies, salad, swordfish and more including generous pours of wine, beer, water or soft drinks. We had the best Tuesday of our lives thanks to this fun day trip.
Awesome experience

5.00Thank you for yesterdays trip. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the staff were so welcoming/accommodating and made us feel like we were part of the family. SSI team made a great difference. Yali vakadua na lomaocaoca keitou kauta tiko yani 😂 Although the sea was a bit rough yesterday, the crew looked after us so well, considering the big number that were on the island yesterday. The food 👌- too good! That talented and patient guy who painted children/overgrown children’s faces - he deserves a medal! 😁 Totoka vaka oti SSI. A memorable trip! That would have been our 3rd trip to South Seas - but will surely go again soon. We pray that the team will be blessed in a thousand folds. ❤️
Best Day Ever

Disappointing expereince that needs a management review.

2.00We booked this one day sailing experience expecting to sail on this catamaran. The skipper motored to our destination and only unfurled the jib on the way back which is hardly sailing. The trip took us out to a small island which was the snorkling spot. We were moored for lunch and did not move from the location until it was time to head back. It was disappointing that we did not experience some of the other islands in the area of which there were many. We were on a boat with 17 in one party who were celebrating a milestone birthday. The music on the boat was load and more like a disco than relaxing sailing music. The group post lunch and complimentary drinks period were loud and completely took over the experience for others on the boat. We felt they should have been offered a private charter so that other paying guests could relax on what should have been a relaxing 'sailing' trip. The one positive was the lunch provided which was excellent.

5.00Thanks Moses and crew for having us yesterday. Two things stood out for us: the fun, friendly and helpful crew, and the care and attention paid to the food. After a couple of days of fried resort food it was so nice to have something fresh and healthy.
Great day trip

Disappointing

2.00We were really disappointed with this tour. We thought we were going to visit the Mamanuca Islands, but in the end, no – we only went to one island and stayed in the same spot for five hours. We were with a group of disrespectful young people who threw rubbish into the sea (unacceptable) and spat water in our faces because they were drunk. We were told in the morning that we’d be dropped off, but in the end, no, he left without us. Unfortunately, there were a lot of issues with this day. On the plus side: the meals were very good and the staff were friendly. If you want to chill out on a boat, this is the place for you; if you want to go sightseeing, give this one a miss.
