Tivua Island: where warm waters, acres of coral gardens, and soft white beaches await. This day cruise afloat a magnificent tall ship, Ra Marama, combines sailing through crystal-clear seas to a Fijian island with buffet lunch spreads and plenty of activities too—just don’t forget your sun cream.

Head for Denarau Marina, board the historic beauty Ra Marama or Spirit of the Pacific or Sailing Cat Fiji One and set sail for Tivua Private Island. Enjoy your morning tea as the anchor is pulled up, and the captain steers you towards the open sea. Upon arrival on the island, receive a warm greeting and sip kava among the locals—all part of an ancient welcome ceremony.

From here, spend the day exactly how you please. Catch a ride over 500 acres of coral gardens, and peer down through your glass-bottomed boat at centuries of colourful reefs. Should a particular patch of anemones require a closer inspection, simply dive off the edge and snorkel in for a personal introduction.

For lunch, feast on a buffet spread of fresh fruit, local specialities, and refreshing drinks. Post-refuel, tackle some traditional Fijian crafts, canoe, play volleyball, or simply sprawl out on a hammock. Wind down with a cup of afternoon tea, before your evening sail back to the marina.

Transfers from the Coral Coast, Vuda, Lautoka, and Sonasali incur fees which can be paid upon check-in.
