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

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 404 reviews · from $113

Spend six to seven hours aboard Whale’s Tale Cruises Fiji, sailing from Port Denarau toward the Mamanuca Islands and a private island stop. Expect breakfast, sparkling wine, snorkeling gear, a gourmet buffet lunch, beer, wine, and crew entertainment. Saula, Jay, Olly, Knox, and Max are among the crew members praised for their warm service.

“The staff joke extremely inappropriately. On the name of breakfast they only give you a few fruits and a muffin. Don’t get fooled by what you read. Nowhere close to it. And it is way more expensive than some of the other cruises out there. Big mistake. Will never ever book with Whale’s tale.”

Fiji: Sunset Cruise with Dinner and Fire Show

11.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!”

Spend about five and a half hours on the Navua River with guides such as Dougie, Cookie, Nick, and Solo. Ride a longboat through rainforest and gorges, visit a Fijian village, swim at a waterfall, eat a buffet lunch, then float gentle rapids while the guides sing.

“This is a GREAT day! Air-con bus (really appreciated!) pickup right in the port. Our driver provided many interesting facts about the area along our drive. A beautiful boat ride to a very genuinely local village. An incredible lunch of BBQ chicken, cassava, salad, and a few other local foods (all were great and the portions seemed unlimited). A BEAUTIFUL tube ride down the river complemented with a few of the guides singing a few local songs (this is really much nicer than it might sound here). This is not just a perfect outing for cruiseship passengers, it's great for non-cruise travellers as well. (We had a mix on our…”

Travel from selected Nadi and Coral Coast hotels to Robinson Crusoe Island for a calm-water jungle cruise, welcome kava ceremony, lovo buffet, cultural dancing, fire walking, and a dramatic fire and knife show. The island setting is memorable, but the long coach ride, basic boats, and extra drink costs matter when planning.

“I really enjoyed this experience. The boat ride was relaxing and beautiful. The food and performance at the island was fantastic. It was a long bus ride home but this experience was worth it!”
