1.Fijian Islands and Snorkel Full-Day Whales Tale Cruise including Beach BBQ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 408 reviews · from $117Our pick

Spend about seven hours aboard the 100-foot Whale’s Tale schooner, sailing from Nadi toward an uninhabited island in the Mamanuca group. You’ll pass Malamala, Vunavadra, Bounty, and Treasure islands, enjoy a champagne-style breakfast, snorkel with provided gear, eat a fresh beach barbecue, and return with music, drinks, and hotel transfers.

“Viator/TripAdvisor told me that my concerns would be passed along to the company and I was waiting to write my review until I heard from someone, but no one has contacted me. It's just really important as we women are dressed in swimsuits with a lot of bare skin, that the male crew shouldn't be coming up and touching us unwantedly. I told the crew member twice "no, no," when he began patting and rubbing my bare back, and it wasn't until I felt forced to actually say, "I don't want your hands on me," that he stopped. And then he yelled after me at some point, "Where is your…”

3.Fiji: Sunset Cruise with Dinner and Fire Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 118 reviews · 6 hours · from $126

Travel from Nadi or the Coral Coast by coach and boat to Likuri Island. Join a welcome ceremony, watch the lovo oven open, eat a buffet dinner, sing by a beach bonfire, and see firewalking, knife dancing, and Pacific cultural performances. The six-hour outing is memorable, but the long road transfer and late return require patience.

“This was a great experience! Despite some negative reviews, I found it to be a fantastic way to see the real Fiji. Yes, it's a long day (returning around 11pm) and not ideal for young children, but the boat ride, the top-notch performance, and the overall atmosphere were amazing. The food was okay, but the cultural experience was worth it. Just be sure to check the description before booking to make sure it's your kind of activity. You won't be disappointed!”

5.Fiji: Castaway Island Resort Day Cruise with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 50 reviews · 1 day · from $156

Cruise from Denarau to Castaway Island Resort in a small group of up to 10. You get five hours for beach time, snorkeling, two pools, bars, and a two-course lunch, with optional kayaks, surfboards, massage, and motorized water sports at extra cost. Hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, and the return catamaran ride are included.

“Castaway Island is starting to look a little worn down, so no longer the luxury day trip it used to be. The lunch used to be a la carte for day guests, but is now buffet. Whilst a la carte would be preferable, the buffet was a good one, and the Mongolian style bbq worked well. However really disappointingly the Adult pool, whilst billed as such, was full of loud children and families. Nobody seemed to control this from the resort. Timely hotel pick ups, well organised ticketing and catamaran boarding. Comfortable, well air conditioned and friendly staff”

7.Fiji: Cultural Island Adventure & Jungle Cruise Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · 8 hours · from $123

Spend eight hours traveling from Nadi or the Coral Coast to Robinson Crusoe Island by 45-minute jungle cruise. You’ll see fire walking, weaving, carving, pottery, cooking, and dance, then eat a lovo buffet and choose from snorkeling, swimming, and selected non-motorized activities. Bring a towel, swimwear, sunscreen, and patience for pickup details.

“The activity wasn’t bad but could be improved. Pick-up at the hotel was a bit confusing, because this experience according the driver was called Robinson Crusoe Experience, not the name we had on the tickets. It’s written nowhere that they take you to a private island resort. The jungle cruise is pretty boring, none of the staff is talking, playing music or explaining where we were going. The resort itself is very basic, the sea was unsafe due to sting rays and the pool was full of gunk. I’ll give it 3 stars anyway because the staff was super kind and lovely. If you go during summer be prepared for…”
