This IS the one!!!
Most highly recommended...greal value for money with no hidden costs like landing fees etc, and includes a phenomenal lunch, morning and afternoon tea, and unlimited drinks included. The boat was modern, the staff amazing in all aspects, and finally, you have the entire island to yourself and it is gorgeous. It is also fully equipped with bathrooms, kayaks, snorkelling gear, volleyball, even karaoke! There are so many tour options out there to confuse you. Don't be confused any longer...Just pick Oolala!

Fiji island day trip
Great day and great spot. Not many people so the experience was almost private. The Staff were very friendly and the small island vibe was chill Fiji. Definitely recommend these guys.

A Great Day
We had a great day with oolala cruises. Highly recommend this trip Staff were so friendly and happy. We were served refreshments on the way to Savala Island. The boat is brand new and very comfortable. There was about 40 on our trip. Once on island we were taken on snorkelling tour of the reef and saw lots of fish, stingray, moray eel, clams, sea cucumber and more. Kayaks available. Lunch was great .. sausages, chicken, lamb steaks salad and bread. A very informative talk and demonstration on coconut tree use in islands There was singing and dancing..great day
Response from the operator: Bula, Thank you for choosing Oolala Cruises. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to see you again soon. Vinaka

What a fabulous day!
My partner and I really enjoyed this day snorkelling on the island and relaxing. The team were very professional and went that extra step to make everyone comfortable. The care they took with another passenger's child was a delight to watch. The Fijians really know how to look after families. The fish life was of a high standard and there were many bright and colourful species to look out for. You are jumping out of a small boat onto the reef around the island which was no problem for me because I am at home in the sea, however, some people did have issues using the snorkelling equipment and needed pool noodles to assist access to the reef. They would not have had the same glorious experience I had when looking at the corals and fish because they could not dive down to get a closer look. However, they were also well catered for and staff took great care to make sure everyone had as much safe access as they could to the snorkelling experience. There was plenty of tasty food to eat after the snorkelling, and drinks to have if you did not want to snorkel. There were kayaks as well. The island was in a somewhat sheltered spot so the swell was minimal, at least on the day we went. Also, it is a smaller cruise with a lot less people on it. This made the day that bit more relaxing as there were not lots of people shuffling and bumping into each other all day. I highly recomend the trip and would go again if I return to Fiji.

Idyllic day of snorkeling, sun, and good food!
Our trip to Savala island with Oolala tours was incredible! We got picked up at our resort on Denarau island, and it was a very short ride to the port, where we were greeted with the lovely Fijiian friendliness. At 10am we boarded a brand new catermaran boat for a 70minute trip to the island with about 15 other people (so glad we didn't do the crowded tours). The weather was perfect and the ocean was so blue. Got to see some pretty landscape on the way there. At the implant we had a nice morning tea with home made coconut slice. The a snorkeling trip with a local guide who made sure everyone was comfortable and saw who pointed out some of the marine life (sea cucumber, parrot and angel fish, lobster, blue starfish, giant clams, soft coral, etc.). People could go for as long or as short as they wanted. Then a delicious lunch (fresh fruit, lamb, chicken, salad, garlic bread), made even more scrummy for the light exercise). Then lounging in the deck chairs with newly made friends. At 3pm we said goodbye to our idyllic island and headed back to the port. Absolutely the best day I could imagine.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oolala Cruises on Savala Island: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Viti Levu.
How much does Oolala Cruises on Savala Island cost?
+
Prices start at $124 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Viti Levu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Oolala Cruises on Savala Island take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Viti Levu is not rushed.
Is Oolala Cruises on Savala Island worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 68 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Viti Levu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Oolala Cruises on Savala Island?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Oolala Cruises on Savala Island suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oolala Cruises on Savala Island?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Viti Levu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Viti Levu and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oolala Cruises on Savala Island start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Viti Levu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Viti Levu?
+
On Outty we rank every Viti Levu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cruisin’ Fiji: Monuriki, Mana Sand Bar & Snorkelling Day Cruise, River Tubing Fiji, Navua River, Naihehe Cave Safari in Sigatoka with BBQ Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Viti Levu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Viti Levu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Oolala Cruises on Savala Island?
+
Included: Lunch. Not included: Private transportation; Pick up from Coral Coast, Nadi Area; Massage; and Boutique. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Oolala Cruises on Savala Island include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Viti Levu. Be ready about 180 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Oolala Cruises on Savala Island offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
