South Sea Island is Fiji’s most popular day trip island and is a short high-speed catamaran ride with South Sea Cruises from Port Denarau. Upon arrival at South Sea Island, guests are transferred from the main vessel to the island via a short tender boat ride, adding to the authentic island experience. Being so close to Denarau means you can make the most of the day lazing on the beach, snorkelling, diving, and enjoying the many activities on offer.
Plenty to do It may be small in size, but there is plenty to keep you entertained with a semi-submersible submarine for underwater viewing, a saltwater swimming pool, and complimentary use of all non-motorised water sports equipment such as snorkelling gear, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks.
Food and drinks Lunchtime is a highlight on the island when everyone gathers around rustic tables at the open-air restaurant to watch Fijian performances and explore craft markets (both daily except Sundays). Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch (see the BBQ Buffet lunch menu here). Complimentary local beer, house wine, and soft drinks are also included all day long while on the island.
Additional options While on the island, why not treat yourself to an island massage or try one of our handcrafted cocktails at the Tipsy Turtle Bar (see the bar menu here)
