Fiji's original jet-boat safari on the country's longest river. Custom-built safari boats with 360° spins and thrills. Visit a remote village for kava ceremony, traditional lunch, and cultural immersion.
28-acre wildlife park and adventure center - Fiji's only family fun park of its kind.
From the same operators as Sigatoka River Safari. Half-day off-road experience exploring caves and getting a glimpse of traditional Fiji.
Fiji's first National Park (est. 1987). One of 14 Heritage Sites administered by the National Trust of Fiji. Ancient sand dune formations with archaeological significance.
These tours depart from Port Denarau - approximately 1 hour drive from InterContinental. Factor in transfer time and costs.
Smaller boats (20-40 pax), reaches outer Mamanucas with 20m+ visibility. Highest probability of healthy coral and larger marine life.
500 acres of coral reef marine sanctuary with biologist-led snorkel tours. Kava ceremonies, coconut husking. Captain Cook maintains robust holiday operations - reliable for Good Friday.
Premium "beach club" experience with infinity pool, butler-service cabanas, and a la carte dining. Fringing reef with complimentary snorkel gear.
Wide beam design significantly reduces roll and pitch. Large daybeds, beanbags, gourmet lunch. Focus on the luxury of the journey.
Anchored bi-level platforms on Ro Ro Reef. Both float above the same reef system with excellent water clarity.
Rationale: Authentic Fiji cultural experience without long transfers. Jet boat thrills + village immersion. Leaves afternoon free for resort activities.
Alternative: Cruisin Fiji day cruise if you prioritize Mamanuca snorkeling (but requires early departure to Port Denarau).
Rationale: Captain Cook and Cloud 9 both maintain Good Friday operations. Tivua offers cultural activities; Cloud 9 offers floating bar experience with easier logistics.
Alternative: Cloud 9 morning session (7:30 AM pickup, return by 3 PM) - tight but doable for evening flight.
