Tivua Island Fiji (Nadi)

About this tour

Set sail from Port Denarau aboard a majestic tall ship or sleek catamaran for our Tivua Island Day Cruise, a popular full-day escape to Fiji’s private coral cay in the Mamanuca group. Just 60–90 minutes from Nadi, this all-inclusive cruise offers families, couples and solo travellers a tropical island break curated for comfort and fun.

Upon boarding, enjoy a warm Fijian welcome (including optional kava ceremony), sunrise views, refreshments, and commentary en route. Arriving at Tivua Island, you step onto pristine white sands backed by lush hibiscus gardens and 500 acres of vibrant coral reef teeming with tropical fish and occasional sea turtles.

Activities span guided snorkel tours over coral gardens, glass-bottom boat rides led by marine interpreters, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, and beach volleyball for kids. Meanwhile, adults can relax in shade bures, indulge in spa massages (optional), or join coral reef-education walks or coral-planting programs hosted by marine biologists.

A tropical barbecue buffet lunch is served under palm shade and includes fresh seafood, salads, tropical fruits, beer, wine and soft drinks—the perfect mid-day pause before afternoon fun. Children aged 3–9 enjoy dedicated play zones, treasure hunts and supervised beach games, giving parents time to unwind.

The cruise returns around 5–6 pm, with hotel drop-off across Nadi, Denarau & Coral Coast (extra charge from farther resorts).

Guests consistently praise the cruise as a highlight: “warm crew, great food, reef snorkelling and one of our best Fiji days” and kids club kept little ones busy while we relaxed.  Though some mention limited snorkel gear or rushed island time on busy days—planning early departures helps maximise experience.

Prices typically range from AUD 175–239, depending on operator and package inclusions—offering outstanding value for a private-island experience when compared to resort day fees or multi-day cruise rates starting above AUD 600
