  Excellent experience! We had a transfer to Port Denarau from Marriott Momi Bay, about 45 min (arranged with the hotel, not included). You checked in with South Sea cruises at the Passenger Terminal. ATMs are available at the terminal. We started with a high speed catamaran from Port Denarau to Kuata Barefood Island with South Sea Cruises (2nd stop), about 1h 30-45 min. They put a wrist band on you identifying that you’re with the shark tour. The helpful crew made it clear where you’re getting off. Once you get near the island, a motorized boat takes you to land and the resort part. Bar, tables, lounge chairs, and bathrooms (roomy and clean) available. Then, the shark tour crew go over the day with you and check in. Snorkel equipment available (included), waivers are signed, options for video packages (underwater GoPro), and lunch buffet are discussed. We were separated into 2 groups. First group was able to go out on motorized boats (bumpy), about 10-15 min to do the actual shark tour, which lasted about 30-40 min before you head back to the resort. It seems short, but just enough time for us. When you get back, you walk back across the rocky/pebbly beach for lunch (served between 12-2, very delicious). Then the 2nd group goes. We were lucky to be in the first group, eating after the excursion was better and more rewarding. Also, we found out there’s an easier walk behind the beach on the resort part, no rocks/pebbles, which is the way we walked back later for pick up. Lots of time to relax, eat, drink, and tan (especially from 1st group). Then, you can walk to a small cave nearby to explore (artifacts in cave) and at 2pm, the women from Wailea (island across) bring over their small crafts market for souvenirs. They had jewelry, sarongs, and other small cute souvenirs. They only accept cash. The other part of the resort accepted card/tap. Wifi available on South Sea cruises and the resort. No ATM on resort, so get cash before boarding. Overall, a great Fijian experience. Highly recommended! Oh, and for us, we did see a lot of sharks!

  You get a whole new view on sharks 🦈. They are amazingly streamlined and swim so effortlessly. I. Really pleased I went outside my comfort zone to do it. Everything and everyone was wonderful

  As much as I would love to give this a 5/5 I just cannot. The boat ride to the island was great we sat up top and has a great view of all the islands. However whenever we got to the island and they called us downstairs to wait is was absolute chaos. There was no communication about where to stand who was going where and there were people getting on the boat that were leaving the island. They really needed one side for the day trip people and one side for the people staying at the resort. After we got onto the little boat and got to the island AGAIN there was no communication about where to go all the staff said just follow those people so we walked a good 200 yards to an area of the resort where we were all meeting up. They gave us time to change and get ready however they were overbooked by at least 20 people so they had to split us up into two groups the first went snorkeling and the other group that I was in we had to wait until after lunch to go on the second trip. They allowed us to use the pools there but there was no direction as to where the dive shop was to use the paddle boards. Lunch was very good I will give that a 5/5. When the first group finally came back it was time for us to go. The boat ride on those small boats is definitely terrifying if you haven't been on a small boat before. We got to see tons of sharks which was a one of a kind experience. After we got back we basically sat around waiting for the boat to come back. Since we had to go on the second snorkel trip we missed out on the trip to the village. Very disappointing in the lack of and the overbooking. If our trip was not overbooked by so many people I think this would have been a great experience for everyone. The island from what we could see in our area was very beautiful. If you want to see sharking in Fiji I would recommend this but be conscious it could be overbooked again

  As an avid ocean lover I loved this experience. Greated by locals signing the Island was beautiful and although I was skeptical from previous reviews about the amount of time in the water with the sharks it was a fair amount of time for a scheldued day trip. We had free time after our shark dive / lunch and was able to utalise this to snorkel off the beach and enjoy the ocean even more (although no sharks in that close unfortunetly!).

  this was so much fun and an experience I will never forget. the guides are really cool/ knowledgable people who made the day awesome. We got the video package which I highly recommend they are crazy awesome videos to have. Food was incredible, the people on the island where awesome to meet they where so kind to everyone and just made the day even better. Be prepared for a long day, especially if your resort is a bit further out from port Denarau.

  This tour was so much more than I expected! The main boat ride from denarau was about an hour and a half and then you get on smaller boats to get to a small resort island. This was such a cool experience. Once we arrived at the island the staff greets you with a song, which I love. The snorkeling was incredible. The water was so clear and the corals and fish were so colorful and plentiful! We saw 3-4 sharks which was so cool, but the real showstopper was just the reef itself. After snorkeling, the buffet lunch was delicious. Such a variety of food and everything was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour!

• Ultimate Snorkel with Reef Sharks in Fiji

  South Sea Cruises; I booked the Ultimate Encounters Snorkel with Reef Sharks, including a buffet Lunch at Barefoot Kuata Island. I booked the day before, for my last day of my holiday, and wow what an experience. A full day trip from Port Denarau and return was relaxing, I dozed off both ways. Arrived at Kuata island, we transferred onto small shuttle boats off the cruiser. Had our safety briefing and got kitted up with Life jackets and flippers. I took my own Snorkel and goggles. Then onto a boat ride for about 15 mins, that took us up to the reef. Dived into the lovely warm waters, straight away there were 3 reef sharks swimming around, it was amazing to encounter. They provided a photographer to capture my underwater experience. I also purchased an underwater cover for my iPhone to capture my adventure. After about 30 mins our encounter was over, and were called back into the boats. I didn’t want to leave. Once we got back to the resort, we had 3-4 hours to pick up, there was a lovely buffet lunch waiting for us. Then a dip in the pool to cool off and relax, or go snorkelling some more at the reef on the beach. Other activities available, Kayaks and paddle boards were provided. Received all the beautiful photos via wi fi straight away. I leave with some wonderful memories of my snorkelling & swimming with reef sharks.
