Mamanuca Islands Day Trip 2026: Scenic Catamaran Cruise from Port Denarau

Unwind with our Mamanuca Islands Day Trip, a relaxing 3-hour scenic cruise aboard a fast, stable catamaran that sails through Fiji’s iconic Mamanuca Islands. Perfect for families, couples, or cruise passengers seeking a gentle day out, this Mamanuca Islands Day Trip offers sweeping panoramic views, vibrant reef scenery, and stunning glimpses of top resort islandsβ€”without the rush or commitment of full-day excursions.

Departing from Port Denarau with complimentary hotel transfers, you’ll board a purpose-built vessel featuring comfortable air-conditioned lounges and sunny upper viewing decks. During this Mamanuca Islands Day Trip, the catamaran glides past picture-perfect isles including Malolo Lailai, Mana, Monuriki (of Cast Away fame), Beachcomber, South Sea Island and moreβ€”all accompanied by informative onboard commentary that brings the history, culture and stories of each island to life.

This experience is purely scenic, with no beach stops or swimming, making it ideal for travellers who prefer relaxation and sightseeing over physical activities. The onboard kiosk offers snacks and drinks for added convenience. As the crew drops off and picks up resort guests along the route, you’ll get an authentic look into daily island life and Fiji’s hospitality cultureβ€”another highlight of this Mamanuca Islands Day Trip.

Families particularly value the affordability: children aged 5–15 travel at reduced rates, and infants under 5 travel free. With multiple departures availableβ€”morning, midday and afternoonβ€”you can easily fit the cruise into your Fiji holiday plans without rushing.

At only ~AUD 107 (or FJD 157) per adult, this scenic cruise delivers exceptional value. While some guests feel the absence of beach access is a limitation, many travellers appreciate it for exactly what it isβ€”a calm, comfortable, and beautifully scenic introduction to Fiji’s island landscapes.
