Bula Vinaka June_R,
Vinaka vakalevu for your amazing review!
We’re delighted to hear you had such a memorable experience at Kuata Island and enjoyed the warm island welcome, beautiful surroundings, and friendly team. It’s wonderful that your snorkelling with sharks was both exciting and felt safe, and that you had such a close encounter with marine life.
We’re also very pleased to know you enjoyed the lunch and found it to be one of the best meals you’ve had in Fiji — that’s fantastic feedback for our culinary team.
Thank you for your high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable Fijian adventure!
Warm Regards!
I lucked out and was the only person on the tour, so had guides Akex and Vinna all to myself! They educated me about the reef and then we snorkeled out to see it up close. It was one of the best snorkel tours I've ever been on. Abundant coral, of all sizes, shapes and colours. Lot of beautiful fish.
Lunch and the cruise to/from Kuata Island were also great

Bula Vinaka Vasile_K,
Vinaka vakalevu for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a special and personalised day on the Kuata Island Marine Conservation Experience.
It’s fantastic that Akex and Vinna made the tour so memorable, and that you enjoyed learning about the reef and exploring the vibrant coral and marine life up close. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch and cruise.
We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Fiji!
Warmest Regards!
Everything was very organized, from hotel pickup until the arrival at Kuata. South Sea Cruises really did a great job! The boat is like a public sea transportation. It stops in few islands. But don't worry, there's a clear instruction in the boat. You won't miss Kuata island.
Kuata is a paradise! The staffs were so nice and friendly. Lunch was also good. I would love to stay for few days there.

We look forward to welcoming you back to explore more of Fiji’s beautiful islands in the future.
Vinaka vakalevu,
Beach was amazing! In the beginning low tide so I couldn’t snorkelled so we waited until high tide. You can see plenty of corals and fishes. Sammy was great with all of us, and the rest of us he team as well they made me feel like home! Thanks everyone!
"The real Fiji experience ", friendly and knowledgeable staff, awesome views from no matter where your location is on the island, amazing and best snorkeling destination
2 hour boat ride. Than an additional $35 for gas!!!! WTF!!!! The pools were dirty.
They are just PRICE GUAGING PEOPLE
Great day in the island, plenty of space to sit and relax. The food was awesome and different options available.
Amazing coral colors on the leeward side of the resort beach.
Would like to see more garbage cans to encourage people to stop littering and a place to put the washed plastics/ garbage when we see/ find it.
Being in a lovely grand hotel on Denerau Island Shearton was very nice but the best part of any Fiji experieince is to get ot to the outer islands where the water is crystal clear and time just seems to slow down a notch or two. I was aday tripper to Barefoot Kuata, 2hours from Port Denerau. Snorkellig gear, lunch and sunshine all included in the fee. Watch the extras as they can quickly mount up. Napolean and the team sung us ashore, and looked after us in the way only Fijians can. This was my first and only Fiji experience so far, so will be looking forward to exploring more of the Yasawas and for longer on Barefoot Kuata.
O transfer é meio sem graça, pq vc vai de ferry que te deixa e te pega na ilha. Quanto ao resort, muito boa a estrutura, mas as cadeiras e cabanas não ficam na praia e sim do lado das pedras, sem acesso. Dentre todos os passeios que fiz, lá oferece o melhor almoço! No geral, gostei muito.
