Unwind with our Mamanuca Island Explorer, 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, the trip offers panoramic views, reef scenery, and glimpses of top resort islands without the rush of full-day excursions.
Departing from Port Denarau with complimentary hotel transfers, you’ll board a purpose-built vessel featuring indoor air-conditioned lounges and upper viewing decks bathed in sunshine. As you cruise past picture-perfect isles Malolo Lailai, Mana, Monuriki (of Cast Away fame), Beachcomber, South Sea, and more you’ll hear informative commentary that brings each island to life.
This experience is scenic only no beach stops or swimming included but the onboard kiosk offers snacks and beverages if required. The vibe is peaceful, making it ideal for travellers wanting island immersion without the effort of hopping off. Crews drop off resort guests en route, giving a living glimpse into daily island movement and hospitality.
Families appreciate the value: children aged 5–15 travel at reduced rates, and infants under 5 travel free. The cruise runs multiple times daily (morning, midday and afternoon) allowing flexibility with your Fiji itinerary
At only ~AUD 107 (or FJD 157) per adult, this cruise offers excellent value. While some visitors find the lack of disembarkation limiting, many enjoy it precisely as a leisurely introduction to Fiji’s island geography—especially those who intend to return later for deeper island experiences.
