The day

Castaway, Mana and Tokoriki — the far end of the chain.

The furthest transfers we run. Castaway, Mana and Tokoriki sit at the outer end of the Mamanuca chain, which means a longer crossing and a bigger difference between a private boat and a scheduled one.

You leave when it suits you, your luggage travels with you, and you arrive at your resort rather than at a transfer hub.

Both directions, timed around flights and check-out.

Best for
Guests heading to the outer islands, especially with early or late flights.
Pace
Direct.

Questions

Before you book

How long does it take?

It depends on the sea state. We give you a realistic crossing time when we confirm the booking.

Is it rough?

It can be. If you are sensitive to motion, take something the night before.

Do you run at night?

Not routinely. Night crossings are assessed individually.
