It is well organised and great value for money. Pizza was nice and good selection of drinks. The scenery on the reef is beyond spectacular. We even got the greatest privilege of seeing a pod of dolphins on way out.

Fun party, unlike anything I’ve done before!

Julie_C, Feb 2026
Absolutely fun, high energy yet somewhat relaxing experience!! You get picked up, you are taken to Denarau Marina, you get a voucher of $60 FJD per person, you get on a boat. Up till now, you are not explained anything. 20min into the boat ride, you get a safety briefing and itinerary overview that you cannot hear lol. That’s the vibe- come here, have fun, don’t worry- everything will be alright! You get to the floating island: snatch a day bed as soon as you can. Snorkel gear does not come with a breathing apparatus FYI, I recommend bringing your own and perhaps also inflatable tubes. Brick oven pizza that is delicious, Vegas pool style cocktails in the middle of no where. Not a care in this world and you totally unplug!! This is cashless, there were no tip jars. It was pretty much impossible to tip because they all jumped in to help you, you didn’t get one guy that kept coming after you because you tipped him. We had a great time, it was such a memorable experience and captured a vibe that we never experienced before. Boat ride back, everyone was dancing and singing.

Great experience

Very fun day out

Jemima_J, Jan 2026
Great day out. Good bar and lots of fun snorkelling and jumping into the water. Boat is about an hr but nice scenery.

Why they really call it ‘cloud 9’

Taylor_W, Jan 2026
Be cautious of deck hands on the transfer boat out there selling bags of cocaine for $800 FJD - you may be into that sort of thing, but our group wasn’t. Some of the other guests that did partake became particularly obnoxious and offensive, which wasn’t ideal for the hour long boat ride with no escaping them while they were manic and high out of their minds. Otherwise, it was a beautiful location and certainly worth seeing, but just be cautious that you may get more than you bargained for. If you’re in to that sort of thing, perhaps it will enhance your experience, if not, maybe consider other options. The company won’t provide a refund either.

Basically a Party Boat

Sara_S, Nov 2025
This was such a fun experience! The floating platform and bar was great to swim around, but just be aware it is quite far from the island, so it is exposed to the elements and not very protected from the wind. Other than that, it is definitely more of a party-style experience, basically a party boat, so go in expecting that vibe. Still, was a lot of fun and we got to meet so many people.

Party boat. Not for the shy or those seeking quiet.

James_V, Nov 2025
Great chance to meet people from around the world. Lots of young people drinking and dancing. No one really stayed quiet. The pizza was good and the service great. The crew on the ride out and back were fantastic too. There wasn’t anything to see when I went snorkeling.

Drinking, loud music party!

Joann_P, Nov 2025
If you are 30 and under this is for you. We had booked last minute as our other trip was cancelled last minute. Definitely feel this is more for a younger crowd, drinking loud music etc. the boat trip out to platform took way too long imo

Great experience. Felt...

Mathes_G, Nov 2025
Great experience. Felt like Heaven! The staff was very friendly and the food tasted good. The drinks were pretty affordable. Met a lot of fun people.

Unforgettable Experience at Cloud 9!

Trudy_H, Oct 2025
Cloud 9 is absolutely amazing — a must-do when visiting Fiji! The views are breathtaking, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water that looks straight out of a postcard. The staff were friendly, fun, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The pizza was delicious and cooked perfectly in their wood-fired oven, and the cocktails were fresh and tropical. It’s the perfect place to relax, swim, take photos, or just enjoy the vibe with good music and beautiful scenery. The trip there and back was smooth and well-organized too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique day out in paradise!

Major Disappointment

Daren_C, Oct 2025
It’s for college party people who just want to drink … thought we would be on a floating boat that was NOT stationary to see nice water fish and reef. Very Loud college music. Trapped on platform for hours. Could have just stayed at hotel and drank at pool minus the painful 50min boat transfer ride each way. Staff was very helpful and friendly

Awesome

Jhy_J, Oct 2025
Awesome experience absolutely loved this trip was awesome the workers made us comfortable on the boat

When we arrived on the...

Ann_T, Oct 2025
When we arrived on the afternoon boat it definitely seemed like the morning session was partying and having a good time, the afternoon session was pretty mellow. A bit disappointing we couldn’t snorkel, as the morning session had used all the mouth pieces, and the speakers on the front of the pontoon also weren’t working. Staff were nice and friendly! Adult kids had a ball jumping off the pontoon. Water was crystal blue. Also got to watch the sunset.

Great Day Trip Off Main Island

Eboni_B, Aug 2025
Great location. Beautiful scenery. Just wish it had more food selection on the platform but that really isn’t the fault of the tour operators. The tour itself was beautiful, guides were very friendly and accommodating. I would just advise that there is limited cabana space if you want to utilize those so be sure to try and get off the boat early. It was def an enjoyable excursion for us and def would recommend

Day well spent!

Michael_R, Jul 2025
Sunscreen is a must! Friendly operators, lovely music, beautiful waters makes for some nice snorkeling

A must do!

Yenifer_P, Jul 2025
Cloud 9 it’s a must if you visit Fiji! The water it’s wonderful, the stuff we’re very friendly, it’s a good spot to hang out, relax and have a good time Listening to music, having a drink, snorkeling or just enjoying the vibe

Awesome experience....

Emmett_W, Jul 2025

Fiji fun time

Fun day meeting new people and snorkeling while floating on a bar enjoying pizza and drinks and beautiful day

Awesome Cloud 9

Salva_R, Jun 2025
It is an adventurous experience, in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful scenery and experience. A must do for all who enjoy a bit of thrill and adventure

You won’t regret to come here

Akira_T, Jun 2025
I did double backflip from second floor also we ordered pizza and drinks, it was amazing taste! The sea is absolutely beautiful and some fish there. They surrounded us! Staffs are very friendly and kind. It’s gonna be perfectly memories for you guys! Have fun!!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Bula Bula Whoa, a double backflip from the second floor? That’s seriously impressive—pure adrenaline meets island vibes! 🌊🍕 It sounds like an epic day of adventure, flavor, and connection. Wood-fired pizza and drinks with the sea as your backdrop? Total bliss. And the fish surrounding you… nature’s own welcoming committee! I love how the staff added that extra touch of warmth to make the experience unforgettable. Thanks

Beautiful scenery, however the instagram posers are a bit of a let down

Sarah_J, Jun 2025
Our Cloud 9 experience was mostly postive. The snorkeling was breathtaking, and spotting a turtle was a highlight. The crystal-clear waters shone beautifully, even on overcast days. The pizza was tasty, though a bit undersalted. However, our enjoyment was somewhat marred by an influx of instagram and tik tok posers who monopolized the best spots, prioritizing selfies and dancing TikTok videos over appreciating the surroundings and/or partaking in the snorkelling/swimming, or even partying. It was disheartening to see them waste food - posing with pizzas and cocktails for pictures only to leave them entirely untouched and thrown away. My partner and I were in awe of the sad reality of witnessing people ignoring the beautiful environment around them, only to live for a screen in their hands. If you're looking for a more laid-back, nature-focused experience, be aware that Cloud 9 might attract a crowd more interested in capturing moments than living in them.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Bula Bula Your review perfectly captures the beauty and vibrancy of Cloud 9 while offering a fair and insightful perspective on the changing dynamics of travel and leisure. The breathtaking snorkeling, the mesmerizing clarity of the water, and even the joy of spotting a turtle must have made for an unforgettable experience! It's a shame that the atmosphere was somewhat affected by the social media-driven crowd, but your observations highlight an important shift in how some people engage with travel experiences. Your point about wasted food is particularly poignant—there’s something truly disheartening about seeing incredible hospitality and resources go unappreciated for the sake of aesthetics rather than genuine enjoyment. While Cloud 9 clearly excels in providing a stunning setting, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere, it’s valuable for future visitors to know that it might attract a crowd more focused on capturing rather than fully immersing themselves in the moment. Thanks for sharing such a balanced and thoughtful review! Thanks Again

Don’t miss this experience!

Tiffany_V, Apr 2025
This was such a great experience! Most beautiful water I have ever seen in my life, the fish were incredible

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Your enthusiasm is contagious! It sounds like Cloud 9 delivered a truly breathtaking experience. The way you describe the water makes it seem almost unreal—pure paradise. And with incredible marine life all around, it must have been mesmerizing to snorkel and take it all in. Glad you had such a memorable time! Fiji’s waters never disappoint.

Would do it again.

Tracy_W, Mar 2025
The overall experience was very good. We were a little perplexed when we had to change vehicles at a gas station on the return trip.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

It sounds like you had a great experience overall, and I’m glad to hear that! The unexpected vehicle change at the gas station must have been a bit confusing, but hopefully it didn’t take away too much from the day’s enjoyment. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Floating Wonder

Terrie_W, Mar 2025
Warm clear water and the scenery pristine. The staff feed the fish and huge ones surfaced to the top. Fish flying in front of the boat trip. Tasty pizzas for lunch and plenty of cocktails to drink. Staff attentive and welcoming. Music enjoyable.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Bula Bula Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the warm, clear waters and stunning scenery. Watching the fish surface and seeing them leap in front of the boat must have been an incredible sight! It's fantastic that you had a delicious meal, with tasty pizzas and refreshing cocktails to complement your experience. Our staff takes great pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere, and we're delighted that their attentiveness made your visit even more special. We're also glad you enjoyed the music—it adds to the magic of the moment! Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable trip soon. Thanks

The Vibes were vibing!

Atitoafaiga_T, Dec 2024
The vibes were vibing! The crew were chill, fun, Spotify playlist was lit, and waiting for a drink at the bar didn’t even take long they knew you after the first drink lol

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Bula Bula Thank you for the awesome review! We love hearing that the vibes were on point, and our crew made your experience even better with their chill and fun energy. A lit Spotify playlist, quick service, and bartenders who remember your order—now that's the kind of atmosphere we strive for! We’re so glad you had an amazing time, and we hope to see you back for more good times soon. Cheers! 🍹🎶

Floating paradise!

Missy_C, Dec 2024
My sister and I love to travel to exotic destinations and find exciting local adventures. Who wouldn't want to spend the day on a floating destination in the South Pacific? Amazing staff, great drinks and food, fun music, BREATHTAKING views above and below the water! Added bonus of food/beverage credit! Do not pass on this opportunity!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Bula Bula Your enthusiasm shines through in this review! Cloud 9 sounds like the ultimate adventure—an unforgettable fusion of scenic beauty, great hospitality, and vibrant energy. Traveling with your sister to such exotic spots must make the experience even more special. The staff, drinks, and music all seem to contribute to the lively, welcoming atmosphere, and those breathtaking views above and below the water truly seal the deal! The food and beverage credit is definitely a great touch, adding extra value to an already incredible day out. You’ve captured the magic of Cloud 9 perfectly—who could resist such an experience? 🌊

Best activity

SisiliaB_A, Dec 2024
Was the best activity we did in Fiji. Worth the money. We enjoyed it very much. We couldn't finish our bar tab as there was heaps of drinks and pizza. Entertainment and the hospitality was great. We will recommend it to our families and friends when they go to Fiji for holiday. Wouldn't mind going there again

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Bula Bula This review captures just how incredible the Cloud 9 experience is! It’s fantastic to hear that it was the highlight of your time in Fiji, and that the food, drinks, and entertainment exceeded expectations. The generous bar tab and endless pizza sound like a dream for a day of relaxation and fun. Great hospitality always makes a difference, and recommending it to friends and family speaks volumes about how much you truly enjoyed it. And the fact that you’d love to go again? That says it all! Thanks for sharing such a glowing review—Cloud 9 sounds like a must-do for anyone visiting Fiji! 🌊🍹🍕

We were on Cloud 9!

Katie_R, Dec 2024
My husband and I had a really fun time at Cloud 9. We had an amazing driver pick us up and returned us right outside our villa. Then, we were dropped off at the Port and got a bite to eat and lathered on sun screen. We made our way to the beautiful boat and traveled a ~1.5 hours to Cloud 9. At cloud 9, we were able to find spots and had their amazing pizza and drinks. We got to take a swim in the water which was so heavenly. We were blessed to have such a beautiful day. We were there for around 4 hours it felt like, then made our way back to the boat at around 1430 or so. Another ~1.5 hours back to the Port, and people were dancing, singing, and a bit drunk. My only thing was, I wish there was a rotation for those who wanted to lay on the large daybeds. It was first come first serve, but I wish there was a max time someone could use it and switching out to another guest/couple who wanted to have a turn. The chairs provided were not the comfiest.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Bula Bula Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband had such a wonderful time at Cloud 9. From the seamless transportation to the delicious pizza and refreshing swim, it sounds like a truly magical day. There's nothing quite like being surrounded by the beauty of Fiji and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere! We also appreciate your feedback regarding the daybeds. We understand how important comfort is and will certainly take this into consideration to improve the experience for all guests. Your suggestion for a rotation system is valuable, and we'll explore ways to make relaxation more accessible to everyone. We’re so glad you had an unforgettable time, and we hope to welcome you back for another incredible day in paradise! 🌊🍹☀️

Lisa_D, Nov 2024
The boat ride out is a little lengthy but worth the trip out for the experience. Definitely recommend doing the 4 hour experience at the floating restaurant. Anything less would be too short. The pizzas are awesome and drinks are reasonably priced for Fiji. Definitely a younger crowd ( mostly in their 20s/early 30s) but don’t let that discourage anyone. Super fun jumping off the top and swimming/ exploring the water around the ship. Highly recommend

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Bula Bula Thank you for your great review! We're thrilled to hear that you found the trip well worth it and enjoyed the full 4-hour experience at our floating restaurant. The pizzas and drinks are definitely a highlight, and we’re glad you found them both delicious and reasonably priced. It's fantastic that you embraced the lively atmosphere and had fun jumping off the top and exploring the crystal-clear waters—it truly makes for an unforgettable adventure! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another incredible day soon. 🌊🍹☀️

OMG SO MUCH FUN!!!

Loralie_B, Nov 2024
Fabulous day out! Loved the snorkelling as the staff fed the fish which meant we got to get up close to lots of fish. Had heaps of fun jumping off the top deck. The wood fired pizzas were delicious. The bar was well stocked. The trip home was fun with lots of loud music and dancing. Not for people who don’t want to PARTY!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Your review perfectly captures the high-energy, fun-filled atmosphere of Cloud 9! Snorkeling with fish up close must have been incredible, and jumping off the top deck sounds like pure excitement. The wood-fired pizzas are always a crowd favorite, and a well-stocked bar keeps the good vibes flowing. The ride back with loud music and dancing seems like the perfect ending to an unforgettable day—but as you said, this is definitely an experience best suited for those ready to embrace the party spirit! A fantastic review that showcases the thrill of Cloud 9! 🌊🍕🎶🍹
