What To Expect

Tivua Island is the perfect day-trip destination in Fiji. Encircled by white-sand beaches and surrounded by coral reef, the pristine tropical island functions as a sea turtle sanctuary during nesting season.

After hotel pickup, step aboard the Ra Marama, a brigantine (two-masted sailing ship) built in 1957 and named after a 19th-century war canoe. Enjoy Fijian music by the entertaining crew and watch for dolphins playing in the bow wave as you’re served morning tea aboard the tall ship.

Upon arrival at Tivua Island, take part in a yaqona (kava) welcome ceremony. You can decide how to while away the hours: swim in the azure sea, stroll around the island, or sunbathe on the sandy shoreline. If you're feeling energetic, a selection of activities such as snorkeling, beach volleyball, reef fishing, and use of kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or canoe is included. Or perhaps set out for some coral viewing on a glass-bottom boat tour.

Dig into a buffet luncheon including barbecue chicken, whole baked fish, sausages, fresh salads, fruit and fresh-baked bread rolls accompanied by local beer, wine and soft drinks. Enjoy afternoon tea before the return sail to your starting point, with drop-off at your hotel by day's end.

Wow is all I can say. We swam, we drank, we ate and sang. It was our anniversary day and the team did not disappoint, they surprised us with a beautiful serenade in our little villa on the beach. We felt like we were just living alone In paradise. It was phenomenal. And the staff were superb.

So much packed into one day

Kate_G, May 2024

Top vibes, never had a chance to feel bored, but still got to feel relaxed. The island is beautiful and the crew are excellent. Get the boys a record deal.

Confirm pick up time. No communication from tour company

ddpiza, May 2024

I have booked many tours and I always get contacted by the tour company. I was never contacted by this one. Everything on the booking indicates that the pickup time was at 10am. Different pick up location all showed up at 10. The pick up time is not 10 and on a small ? Sign it says that you have to contact the tour company for pick up time. I missed the pick up time. I got an email from viator at 9:35am the day of the tour saying the pickup time was at 9:00. The port was only 10mins away and I was able to take a taxi and catch the boat. The tour was fun and the people were nice. We walked around the island and did some snorkeling. If you book this make sure to contact them to know what time they are going to pick you up.

The experience was great,...

ChinAnn_T, Apr 2024

The experience was great, however I had a disappointing start to the day. The ticket I received says the trip departs at 10am. But the pick-up bus arrived at 8.30am and because I was not aware of the earlier pickup, the bus left without me. I checked my emails at 9am and found an email about the pickup at 7am. Luckily the place I was staying at was able to arranged a taxi to get to the port on time. However this cost me an extra $30. So beware... the pickup comes earlier that booked

Best money spent !

Madie_C, Apr 2024

This was the most fantastic day out, I could not fault this experience at all. Beautiful staff and service, delicious lunch including a variety of meats, salads and fruit. You get the entire island to yourself with gorgeous reefs to snorkel and see.

Amazing day out

Elizabeth_J, Apr 2024

What an amazing day, Thank you to all the staff for such a great experience. You were entertaining and the bbq lunch supplied was delicious. It was my husband's birthday and they all sang for him while we enjoyed our lunch. Would highly recommend this tour and would definitely do it again. Tivau Island is beautiful

Paradise island trip

Denise_P, Apr 2024

Our 36th wedding anniversary and we were serenaded at lunch. Really felt the love. Beautiful place beautiful people. I will remember the day for a long time🥰

The perfect balance of fun and chill exploring

Kaycee_v, Apr 2024

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.

Excellent day trip from Nadi

Akhilesh_m, Apr 2024

Outstanding experience. Great snorkeling, perfect hospitality. Most strongly recommended.. perfect day spent at Nadi

Great day for water lovers

James_P, Apr 2024

Pick up for our hotel was on time and got us there on time for the boat. Trip to the island was lovely with music and some food. The island is great snorkeling, swimming. glass bottom boat, lunch and drinks. We loved it. The trip back we were knackered but the singing on the boat was so nice and lifted our spirits. We came from the Coral coast so was big day but enjoyed every minute

Perfect for families

David_B, Apr 2024

The crew who made it extra special and more personal. The island is beautiful and we were very well taken care of.

Olivia_G, Apr 2024

Excellent trip, the staff are so lovely and really make the experience. Beautiful old sailing boat and lots of singing on both journeys.

Tropical paradise

Jesse_B, Apr 2024

The island you travel to is beautiful. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They all try and get to know you and talk with you and it makes you feel included even if you traveled alone. Did some scuba diving for the first time and they were great about teaching!

Just WOW!

Alana_F, Apr 2024

Enjoy scuba diving in Fiji

Sara_M, Apr 2024

Beautiful people and loved the scuba diving experience. Unfortunately we didn’t have a great time because the weather was miserable: it rained constantly the whole time 😞 as a result we didn’t get to see the island or to enjoy the relax on the beach. However, we did snorkelling, scuba diving and enjoyed the Fijian food. The only downside was the catamaran: big and comfortable but old and smelly. It was really difficult to sit inside because the mouldy smell was giving us headache. It definitely needs an update!!!

Great snorkeling!

Hilda_B, Mar 2024

A fun relaxing day in the sun! Snorkeling, glass bottom boat. Great food! People are so friendly! The water was beautiful!

Great day on the Island

Leanne_S, Mar 2024

Great day, friendly staff, amazing food and lots of drinks! Snorkelling and swimming as fantastic, highly recommend this cruise.
