Tivua Island Day Cruise FAQS
We thoroughly enjoyed our day from start to finish. The crew members and all the help were so friendly and their enthusiasm made everyone smile Traveling to and from the island in a sailboat just added to the experience. The island is truly magical, when you think of a pristine white sand beach and shades of blue green sparkling water this is it! I went scuba diving for my first time and what an experience. Among many other aquatic life there was several stingrays! Jo the instructor was a great fellow and a pleasure to get know while spending time on the island relaxing. Wish we didn’t have to leave!
The Captain Cook day cruise to Tivua Island is an amazing experience. From the crew on the 90 minute sail to and from the island, they are entertaining, singing the whole way, to the beauty of the island. The island itself is absolute picture postcard. There are numerous activities available from snorkelling, scuba, spa services, glass bottom boat, you can do as much or as little as you want. We spent the whole time on the island in the crystal clear waters. Just so idyllic and tranquil. We booked one of the private cabanas and the bbq lunch was excellent, with more beautiful Fijian singing accompanying our meal. If you want a true Fijian experience this is the cruise for you. We will definitely do this cruise again on our next visit to Fiji.
Vale, the crew and both the drivers were fun and accommodating. Would recommend for a day trip in Fiji. I took this tour on a 16 hour layover and they made sure to pick me up and most importantly drop me off at the airport on time. A great option if you are just passing by
It was amazing, the staff very friendly and the beach stunning
