“Viator/TripAdvisor told me that my concerns would be passed along to the company and I was waiting to write my review until I heard from someone, but no one has contacted me. It's just really important as we women are dressed in swimsuits with a lot of bare skin, that the male crew shouldn't be coming up and touching us unwantedly.

Add snorkeling, swimming, non-motorised activities, a bush walk, and a hermit crab race, with pickup from Nadi and the Coral Coast to Warwick.

“The activity wasn’t bad but could be improved. Pick-up at the hotel was a bit confusing, because this experience according the driver was called Robinson Crusoe Experience, not the name we had on the tickets. It’s written nowhere that they take you to a private island resort. The jungle cruise is pretty boring, none of the staff is talking, playing music or explaining where we were going. The resort itself is very basic, the sea was unsafe due to sting rays and the pool was full of gunk. I’ll give it 3 stars anyway because the staff was super kind and lovely. If you go during summer be prepared for…”
