★★★★★★★★★★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!…”
