“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!…”
