3.Finding Nemo – Half Day Cruise to South Sea Island

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 94 reviews · from $52Best value

Take a high-speed catamaran from Denarau to South Sea Island, then choose snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, a semi-submersible reef trip, or pool time. Transfers, gear, WiFi, kids club, and island drinks are included. The setting is lovely, but the half-day schedule can feel rushed.

“This cruise is way too short - you leave at 9 get to the island at 9.30 by the time you find shelter get settled it’s 9.45 and they start hassling you to pack up at 10.45 . It’s a bit misleading saying half day and very expensive for such a short time on the island . We loved the island but this trip is not the right choice for the money”
