1.Cruisin Fiji: Authentic Fijian Day Cruise – Best Day in Fiji

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,409 reviews · from $145Our pick

Spend about eight hours cruising from Denarau to Mana Sand Bar, Monu Cove, and Monuriki Island. Swim, snorkel, enjoy a Fijian buffet, and visit the Cast Away film location. The family-run crew, including Mose, Ben, and Sam, keeps the day friendly and well organized, with drinks, snacks, equipment, and Denarau pickup included.

“Cruising Fiji was an amazing time! Getting to island hop between the beautiful islands of Fiji is definitely one of my highlights on my trip. The Cruisin Fiji team were hospitable and always made sure we were safe and had a full glass in our hand! I wish I got the names of all the men working the boat, because they were truly fantastic. Lunch on Manamuca Island was delicious and the hike to the top had breathtaking views that my camera simply could not capture. It was worth the barefoot hike though I would recommend wearing shoes or taking Bully up on his offer to carry you down haha!…”

“Manu and the captain were truly exceptional, warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Our youngest son had his arm in a cast, and the way they went above and beyond to make our family feel comfortable and special was unforgettable. They assisted us on and off the boat and even took our son out privately to snorkel so he could still experience the sharks and stingrays safely. That alone meant the world to us. From live music to incredible food right by the beach, literally with manta rays and fish swimming under the table, it was an unforgettable setting. The experience felt thoughtful and elevated in every detail. Unlike many tours…”

“We had a simply wonderful trip with Alex today. The trip is for 6 people max, but the 4 of us (my wife and I plus a couple of good friends) had the trip to ourselves. We went to 4 places in the 4-hour trip, and each one was great. We had a slow rope-tow ride through a turtle cleaning station, a stand-on-the-sand meet and greet with stingrays and reef sharks, and standard snorkeling at two different reef spots. The diversity and beauty of the corals were phenomenal. Alex is a great guide and he tailors the trip to the interest of the participants and modifies it based on time…”

The only thing to be careful about is the wind, as this may prevent you from kayaking. Other than that, it was a great time, the food and drinks were good too. We were able to find decent chairs without having to book ahead of time.”
