Snorkelling and Island Tour — visual story

  1. Four hours, one boat, your day. Reef, island and sandbank — the classic run, done privately.
  2. Out of the marina. Departure between 7:00 and 8:00am, before the trade wind gets up.
  3. Under the surface. Snorkelling gear on at the reef edge, where the sand shelf drops into coral.
  4. The coral garden. Shallow bommies, butterflyfish and enough current to drift rather than swim.
  5. Treasure Island and the sandbank. Lunch on the island — included — then a sandbank stop if the tide allows.
  6. Back by early afternoon. FJD 1,100 for up to four guests. From five, FJD 249 each.

The day

Reef in the morning, an island for lunch, a sandbank if the tide agrees.

This is the tour most people should start with. It is short enough to leave the afternoon free, and it covers the three things visitors come for: clear water, coral, and standing on sand with nothing around you.

You leave the marina between 7:00 and 8:00am while the water is at its flattest, run out to the reef for snorkelling, then stop at Treasure Island, where lunch and the landing fee are included and the beach is yours for a while. On the way back, if the tide is low enough, we stop at a sandbank.

The boat is yours — no other groups, no fixed timetable beyond the tide.

Best for
Couples, families and first-time snorkellers.
Pace
Easy. Swimming optional, shade available on board.
