Fiji · DAY CRUISES IN DENARAU ISLAND
The catamarans leave Port Denarau mid-morning and are back before dark. These 14 differ on which island they aim for, whether lunch is included and how long you really get in the water once the crossing is counted.
Take a high-speed catamaran from Port Denarau to Malamala Island for 6 to 7 hours of beach time. Swim, snorkel, kayak, paddleboard, or settle beside the infinity pool. Your $90 pass includes transfers, equipment, towels, and Wi-Fi, but food, drinks, cabanas, and day beds cost extra.
“The island was heaven on earth. The snorkeling was amazing!”
From Port Denarau, you take a 45-minute ferry to Seventh Heaven, a floating pontoon in the Mamanuca Islands.

“Such a good day out in Fiji!! The staff are so nice and we had the best time.”
Take a high-speed catamaran from Denarau to South Sea Island for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and a semi-submersible reef tour.

Take a five-hour South Sea Cruises trip from Nadi, Denarau, or Wailoaloa to Malamala Island.

Food, drinks, cabanas, and day beds cost extra, so plan your spending before you go.
