Truly an unforgettable day. The crew were outstanding, the food was delicious and the vibes were immaculate. Shortly after you set sail they serve you breakfast tea - quiches, mini sandwiches, fruit, etc. You then get to snorkel at Noko reef, followed by drinks on the sandbar. Back on board for lunch with the option to head back to the sandbar, stay on board for a few more drinks or swim. Such an incredible experience with the always warm Fijian hospitality.

even the rain didn't dampen the spirits on this one. Absolutely brilliant experience. For a 1st time quad bike rider, I was given all the safety gear and plenty of advise and practice before we hit the road. Right to the top of the mountain, and all the way to the beach. This experience met all expectations. Highly recommended

5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely loved it, can only recommend. We had an amazing day with no clouds in the sky and just amazing time. Only thing that could have made it better, was if the guides when e.g. snorkelling could tell us a bit about the fish that we saw but that’s not a requirement and it was still really cool!
