“Hi, the details of the activity did not specify a 1 hour bus trip to the jetty. I did send an email querying the early pick up and was told this was due to passenger pick up. The shows and food was good. The boat ride back was risky in heavy rain, late at night in absolute darkness and a torch used for guidance. There were anout 45 to 50 people on a small boat! I think that safety and comfort of the passengers should be priority and mre specific details provided on the advert of the activity. Thank you”

Fiji: Castaway Island Resort Day Cruise with Lunch

15.Castaway Island Resort Day Cruise with Lunch

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

Cruise from Denarau to Castaway Island Resort on a small-group catamaran, then enjoy five hours of beach time, snorkeling, two pools, bars, and a two-course lunch. Transfers from Nadi, Denarau, and Coral Coast hotels are included. Bring a towel, swimwear, hat, and ID, and allow extra time for the early coach pickup.

“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”
