A must see! - This was one of the best things my daughter and I have ever done. The island was absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious and the boat journey was picturesque. And these weren’t the best thing about this experience. The staff was absolutely phenomenal. Jay, Eva, and so many more made this the best excursion of our vacation! Vinaka!

Island delight - What a magic day. Delightful entertainment with guitars and singing. Jay knew a song from many other cultures including Korean, Italian, Aussie, and New Zealand...amazing. The lunch was a delicious feast of salads and BBQ meats. Jay's optional talk on the use of native plants for medicinal purposes was very interesting and his display of crafting baskets and bowls from palm fronds was fascinating to watch. The waters were a perfect blue and so calm. The sand on the island is made of tiny pieces of crushed coral so reef sandals are advised. Talking with the live in Marine biologist brought home how essential it is to look after our oceans to try and rescue the coral before it's too late.

Fabulous Day Trip - This was a lovely day out, especially as the crew onboard were so warm & welcoming. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, they kept everyone’s spirits up and I had a great time regardless. Some wonderful snorkelling on the island and a delicious lunch, with my own vegetarian plate served to me separately.

Awesome family day - From the moment we arrived until we got back on our transfer bus, we felt like we were with family. Great music and entertainment on the boat. The crew was beyond welcoming and made it a point to get to know our kids names. The island is beautiful, the lunch was delicious and the snorkelling was fun. The spirit of Fiji was very much alive on our cruise today. Special thanks to Iva and Biu for making it such a fun day.

Terrific Tivua - Very easy process from pick up to boarding the ship.
Great vibe on the ship, crew interaction and singing.
Morning tea provided.
The ship appears pretty old but adds to the character and atmosphere.
Lunch was 5 different salads, fruit, lamb sausages, chicken drumsticks and fish. Great food and bottomless cold drinks.
Private, paid for cabana was in a secluded spot, ocean view.
Other, free cabanas, very rustic however still provided shade.
Or take your towel and lay it under a tree.
The massage was magic, calming, relaxing, facing the beautiful ocean.
The ocean was breathtaking, many colours, just like a postcard.
Beautiful clean, clear water for swimming.
Snorkelling and other non powered activities are also available, as well as scuba for a fee.
The trip back to the marina, afternoon tea provided and a sing-along with the crew.
Overall a magical day.
Highly recommend 👌

Overpriced with tired, old and inadequately stocked facilities - As everywhere in Fiji, the people were lovely. Unfortunately, this is where the positive ends. I do NOT recommend this trip - spend your money elsewhere.
The food on the cruise ship on the trip over and back consisted of instant coffee, pre-packed lamingtons, pre-package biscuits and tea on the way over. Cash bar.
On the island, the activities were poorly provided for. There was one 3-person sit on top kayak with one kayak paddle and one stand up paddle-board paddle and two stand up paddle-boards with a paddle each for the entire boatload of people to share. The bar was out of all snacks, towels (for which they'd charge $35 if they had them) , souvenirs and if you were unlucky enough to forget sunscreen, they were selling it for $45 for a small bottle (they had two left). And ours was a morning trip - it's not like they could say the previous visitors had purchased it all, it was just unprofessionally planned.
The glass bottom boat needs some major repairs - it was leaky, the glass was scuffed up, the awning needed repair - shockingly old.
There was no guidance on where to snorkel and most of the coral is bleached out from rising sea temps due to the shallow waters around the island, so it wasn't great once you did learn where it was most interesting (under the jetty to the right).
None of the crew were designated as lifesavers or first aid providers.
If you paid for a private cabana - $99 - you got a quieter experience. But they only booked them on the boat over, which meant larger groups had to seek out and drag over extra seating as each cabana only equipped with two chaises and two chairs.
Wish we could get a refund - it was such a disappointment.

Tired, old, poorly stocked facilities and worn out gear - do NOT recommend, want refund - We were packed on a 65-year-old catamaran, not the lovely tall ship show in the photo. There were some uncomfortable cafe chairs on the main deck, inadequate seating in a dark, poorly ventilated main cabin.

Wish we could get a refund - it was such a rip off.
