Don't whatever you do take a day trip with this mob. Their boats stink of spue & stale wet seats & what's more they'll redirect your day trip to wherever they like so instead of taking 1 hour you'll be trapped in the hot sun for 3 hours with no time left to explore your destination or valid explanation as...

We booked a combination cruise with "finding NEMO" included. We were thinking this would be great as our 3 year old boy will see NEMO, which he is very much excited about, on a "submarine" boat. Day of the cruise, boarded before 9AM. 910 boat still not moving. No announcement. Half past 9, they gave free drinks. 10AM, announcement came... More

I booked quite a bit of my Fiji holiday with South Sea Cruises. Firstly, I booked a return transfer by ferry to Mana Island resort. The courtesy bus arrived on time and without fault. The check in process was very easy and quick and there was always someone around at the dock telling you what to do and where to... More

En route to Australia, we had one precious day to spend in Fiji. We landed early in the morning to find that our booked tour with another company had been cancelled. Our hotel desk clerk performed heroically in finding an afternoon South Seas cruise and set up all arrangements for us to be picked up at the Mercure Hotel by... More

Prior to our holiday in Fiji we had booked a day cruise on the Seaspray sailing boat. As requested, we confirmed our booking at the marina the day before our trip. On arriving to leave the next day we were advised that the sailing ship had only just come off the slip following maintenance and was not ready for sailing!... More

We booked Beachcomber having had a fab day on South Sea Island and wanted more snorkelling, so chose the island set in the Marine Sanctuary. When our transport had not arrived at 7.15 to pick us up, our resort phoned and were told that it was on its way. At 8.00 we phoned again to be told that they had... More

We pre-booked and pre-paid for a day cruise with South Sea Cruises on the internet, way ahead of time. We only had a few days in Fiji and wanted to ensure we made the most of our holiday. On the day of our trip, we caught a shuttle bus to the marina in the early morning, only to find out... More

Booked a day trip with a friend for a girl's day out visit to South Sea Island. We boarded at Port Denerau in Nadi and enjoyed a leisurely cruise to South Sea Island. The service and atmosphere were excellent and we were welcomed onto the island by a greeting party. Drinks and food are provided at no extra cost as... More

Bula K, Our sincere apologies to you and your wife for the inconvenience caused as a result of the cancellation of our Octopus Island Resort day trip & the delay in you receiving your refund. Due to a sudden mechanical failure of our vessel servicing the Yasawaís on this day, we were unable to continue with this daytrip. To ensure... More

We booked a combo cruise to go the southsea island leaving Denaru at 9am for 30 minute boat trip, advertised as 3 hours of snorkeling, semi submarine and bbq lunch then the afternoon to cruise around the islands etc, sounds great? We thought it did, but what the advertisement SHOULD say is, " Boat will leave at around 10am get... More

Bula, Firstly we would like to thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback on the Combo Cruise (a combination of a cruise exploring the outer Mamanuca Islands and 3 hours at South Sea Island). Unfortunately, on the day you travelled, there was a minor unforeseen operational issue, which forced a delay, causing the 10:00AM departure of the... More
