Excellent!
The crew on this ship made you feel like family. This was so much better than I could have imagined. From the welcoming kava ceremony, feeling like I was treated like family, an amazing first time scuba diving, a delicious lunch, thoughtfully planned activities that highlighted the culture of Fiji, a beautiful island, and seeing the care they took for those traveling with small children. This experience made for life long memories, thank you!

Excellent crew, short excursion
Nice but shorter than expected. The return boat was at 2:45 pm, even though the description said it was a full-day trip. The last activity was supposed to be at 3 pm. We didn't have access to the included beach sports (kayaking, paddleboarding) because it wasn't safe, nor the glass-bottom boat tour. The food was good, and the crew was excellent—fun and attentive.

Amazing experience, the staff were so friendly and helpful. Great snorkelling and scuba experience, good food and a beautiful island to visit.

Day cruise & sunset cruise combo...
We did the combo: day cruise to the island, sunset cruise.
We left Port Denarau when the tide was starting to go out. We took a launch out to the boat. Footing was precarious trying to get from the launch to the larger boat. By the time we got to the island the tide was already quite far out. To get to even waist deep water was quite a distance from shore, over the boulders under the water. The footing was very unsafe. We both fell in the water, onto the boulders, while navigating to the higher water. We finally gave up and just sat on the chairs in the shade. We never got to snorkel after we brought all our snorkel equipment from the US to Fiji in our suitcases. The tour had lunch prepared for us and it was good. When leaving the island, we had to walk about 15 minutes to the other side of the island, due to low tide, with all our gear, to get to the launch. Walking to the launch we were in near waist deep water.
Once we got back to Port Denarau we got off the boat. We waited on the pier for about 15 minutes for the dinner cruise to board. Once on board the dinner was good, as was the entertainment. That was the only saving grace of this part of the excursion.
Overall, the experience was unacceptable. This seems like somewhat haphazard organization and execution for a company that has supposedly been doing this for years.

Great boat and beach day!
Beautiful day! The boat ride there and back was beautiful and smooth. The beach experience was very nice, plenty of shade and loungers. Fun snorkeling, Lunch was very good. The trip was not overcrowded. All of the staff and crew were very friendly and helpful. The live music was great! All in all a very pleasant day in Fiji! Recommend.

Crew was great
First I’ll give the negative part of the review. The sail boat for the day cruise was pretty much a rust bucket in need of some renovation. It definitely did not match the photos in the advertisements. On the positive side, the crew was great. They were extremely nice, helpful, and engaging. The lunch on the island was pretty good and it was nice to have an open bar. The beach experience on the island was just ok. We ended up having really windy weather so we really couldn’t enjoy much of the activities (not that was the fault of the crew).

Amazing!
The crew made you feel like family, great experience! They were prepared for everything, and even sang and played the guitar for us.

Fantastic trip to Tivua Island and Sunset Cruise!
Beautiful day tour to Tivua Island, and enchanting Sunset cruise to end a perfect day! Kudos to the staff at Captain Cook cruises for making this so special!

10/10 except the massage
This trip was fabulous, except the massage. The beach was stunning, the staff lovely, the lunch delicious and the snorkeling beautiful. 10/10 recommend. The only downside was the massage I had, because the massage therapist was texting the entire time. I'd feel her slowing down and using one hand and look up to see her texting, which went on the entire 45min. Don't do the massage, but definitely take the trip

Great tour!
The staff was amazing! Our main guide was really funny! The marine biologist we talked to was very knowledgeable! A day well spent, we are tired, but happy.

Fantastic Experience
Amazing day, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the beach on the island was relaxing and peaceful, great food and plenty of activities. Only disappointment was we didn’t get to do the glass bottom boat. But overall a fantastic experience. We would definitely do it again.

The perfect balance of fun and chill exploring
The whole day was incredible! The crew made it engaging, fun and memorable on the boat and at lunch, and then went to our own bungalow to relax with no one around us. The perfect balance! When doing the water sports there were crew to help, but also let you do your own thing and just kept an eye for safety and gave us tips on great snorkelling spots.
