The Perfect Way to Spend a Day in Fiji - We had an amazing day. The crew were so friendly and generous, the music and welcoming atmosphere was perfect. The food and drink included was beautiful and the activities on the island were second to none. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough. It would be worth coming to Fiji just to do this cruise

Want a great time book this! - I was a little nervous of what my experience would be based on previous comments. But I’m glad that did not deter me from booking. My brother specifically had the time of his life! It wasn’t crowded the staff was amazing the massage at an additional cost was perfect. It truly felt like we were all family. Everyone on the boat was a whole vibe!

A good cruise out to a small private island! - This was a great cruise. The staff put on a good buffet for lunch, snacks, drinks, music and cultural sessions. They also lent snorkelling gear for free. A good chance to experience a small private island! The only con is that you don’t actually get to spend a full day on it - the boat ride takes a little over an hour, so you only get to spend about 3-4h there.

Stunning secluded island - average boat - The island is secluded and spectacularly calm. My family went around the whole island on a stand up paddle board. The boat was very average but the staff were very enthusiastic and engaged. One thing to note is that the water wasn’t being pumped to the bathrooms for a while after we landed so toilets didn’t work.

Enjoyed, but wouldn't go back a second time. - Tour could've done with starting an hour earlier, our pickup had us arriving at 9am even though we didn't cast off until 10, and by the time you take away 3 hours total of commuting the day is very rushed. Cruise to the island was nice, however boat was very packed. Kava ceremony was cool but saw dozens using the same shell to drink from. Island itself was neat, lots of places to sit. Sadly the snorkeling left a lot to be desired, and a lot of the Coral is dying (not these guys fault). Also the snorkeling gear has definitely seem some miles, mine had mold inside the goggles. Lunch was basic but very nice, staff were all very warm and friendly. A few touch ups could see this tour improve a lot.

Outrageous - There were so may wrong things with this trip, but the most outrageous thing that happened was that 3 members of the crew decided to get drunk, and none of the other crew members did anything about it! In fact, one of the guys was guiding the vessel at times, which is beyond absurd! They were extremely loud and obnoxious, and one of the guys got very sick after a while, so at least he was quiet for the rest of the trip... but the others continued drinking until the end. Aside from this incident, this is not a fun activity. The boat was at full capacity, and it was not comfortable at all, plus it takes a while to get to the island. The island is quite beautiful, but there's nothing unique about it, you can do water activities such as kayak and paddleboarding, which you can do at any other beach and resort, you can do snorkeling, but there's nothing to see, I saw 2 fish and that's it. Scuba diving is also offered but this is extremely irresponsible since no preparation is given to the people who've never done it, and you only get 30 minutes, so they give you the tank and you get to breathe under water for a bit, so it ends up being an extremely boring and expensive type of "snorkeling" experience, the only difference is that with snorkeling at least you usually get to see something, and you don't have to carry a heavy oxygen tank. Another thing I found super annoying is that in spite of charging so much for such a boring activity, the organizer tries to cut corners whenever they can, safety, food, drinks, etc. The person in charge of the bar on the island had a very bad attitude, I asked for water and he acted as if he was doing me a huge favor by giving it to me. We got some cookies on the boat that were way past their expiration date. They've placed some cheap plastic chairs on the sides of the boat, which is not safe in case of rough sea conditions. These are only 3 of many other examples. I would not recommend this activity. Fiji is such a beautiful place and there are so many things to do and places to visit, this was a very negative experience.
