Fiji · DENARAU ISLAND TOURS
Denarau is a marina with hotels around it, and the departures board is the point. The 15 below are the island transfers, reef platforms and sunset sailings that leave from the wharf, with prices and the morning check-in times that decide your day.
Spend an evening at Fiji Culture Village learning about village traditions, crafts, the temple, and chief’s house. Watch a lovo meal come from the earth oven, join a kava welcome, then enjoy dinner, Meke dancing, and a fire show. Hotel pickup covers Denarau and Nadi, with surcharges for some resorts.
“We had a great time! Everyone was so fun and entertaining.... I recommend this experience to EVERYONE.”
Take a pre-booked transfer to Port Denarau, then cruise about 30 minutes by catamaran to Malamala Beach Club. Spend six to seven hours swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, or resting by the infinity pool. Food, drinks, cabanas, and day beds cost extra, while towels, Wi-Fi, and water-sports equipment are included.
“Absolutely beautiful island and people. It’s very well setup and a must not miss. We did the full day tour and booked a day bed by the pool which is also overlooking the ocean. You get snorkeling gear provided and the water is crystal clear with a coral reef and tropical fish. The food was also delicious. Definitely want to come back :)”

Pickup is available from selected hotels in Nadi, Denarau, and the Coral Coast. Expect a late return, wet feet, and a lively group show.

Blacktip and whitetip reef sharks are common, and you may see up to six or more. Buffet lunch, snorkel gear, kayaks, paddle boards, and resort access are included.

A huge thank you to our guide Oscar, who was not only professional and attentive but also incredibly kind and caring. His warm personality and energy made the experience unforgettable.
