Worth the money - Great trip even though it was raining the entire day we still had great fun. The included food was great and so were the free included beers.

Friends and family alike can enjoy! - The inclusives were all great, food and drink, snorkelling! This is a great place if you want to experience a small part of Fijian culture, the staff showcased a beautiful meke.
The snorkelling was one of the best parts, as there is such a wide variety of fish, but to watch young children as the waves are best for experienced swimmers when windy!
The bar was open the whole time, the staff were very friendly. This was our last cruise of the week, it was a half day and we were tired, but it was still worth it. I would recommend this to families and friends travelling, as they cater to all; with all the activities and food and drink, you wouldn’t get bored!

10/10 Day Out - First timers with 2 kids (11 & 6) south sea island is the first island drop off and the last pick up so half day is more than plenty to get in all the activities
We arrived and headed straight up to the BBQ lunch and Meke dance
Complimentary drink bar available all arvo which we loved
Snorkelling gear was all included
We loved the underwater glass boat adventure for the 6 year old
All in all 10/10 - Jim? The island host and staff were more than accommodating and made our first time visit memorable
We would definitely come back

A truly unforgettable experience - Amazing experience for snorkeling lovers. It is a tiny island with a gorgeous beach and tropical waters. Food and drinks are offered on site. You will need to bring walking shoes or some other footwear, because the coast has many tiny rocks that can pierce through your feet or make entering/exiting very inconvenient.

Perfect day outting! - Such a great day trip! Beautiful island just a short 30mins ferry from port Denarau.
Such an array of activities from snorkeling, diving, kayaking, paddleboarding to getting a massage. I spend my time diving and snorkeling, the reef was beautiful and we got to see reef sharks! Mel from the dive centre was very knowledgeable and took me for a wonderful dive, while also refreshing my knowledge (certified diver). Anyone can dive whatever your level!
Wonderful day it just went too fast!

Fun Day with multiple activities - Smoothly run tour. Snorkeling equipment wasn’t great, and the snorkeling itself was disappointing. Went out in the submersible and enjoyed that more than the snorkeling. Maybe I’m jaded after snorkeling in Hawaii, Great Barrier Reef, etc. Lunch was nice and adequate.

Beautiful reef - Good: The island was awesome, the snorkelling view was amazing, the water was super clear, the food was good.
Bad: The bus was 35 minutes late so some people missed their boat and the outer reef snorkelling was less than 10 minutes.
If you have them TAKE REEF/RIVER SHOES! There are heaps of tiny pieces of coal on the beach and while very pretty it is a bit sharp to walk on

Disappointing customer service. Nil feedback. No text, message or phone call. - Very disappointing - I booked this tour several weeks ago and was informed pickup
would be from our hotel - The Outrigger. To check this I tried to get in tourch with South Sea Cruises. No replies. Outcome was a very professional agent at Outrigger informed us "No pick up from here - this is a half day cruise - pick up is for full day cruises only". If I had known this I would have had time to arrange suitable travel. Due to lack of response I had no other option but to cancel a trip we were really looking forward to. This was to be part of a special 75th birthday celebration for my girlfriend and me. I was more gutted with missing out than having paid the company for the trip.
