messed up pickup and then hung up on me during phone call
This might. have been a great experience, if they had not messed up the pickup I booked it the night before, after their office closed. Once i'd made the booking and paid, and selected a pickup relatively near my accommodation from THEIR list, i saw a note saying you had to call them the day before the trip to confirm pickup This is the first time i've even had roaming on my phone when travelling - normally phoning would not have been possible at all. I called at 7.30 when their office opened, already at the pickup point, to confirm what time they would be there. They said they don;t pickup there. I asked so why was I able to select it from your list and pay for it. They said I had to make my own way there. By this time it was 7.45. Trip departs at 8.45 but they told me I had to be there at 8. So i had 15 mins to find a cab and do a 20min trip. I said I would not make it by 8 and would need to look at cancelling - the woman HUNG UP ON ME. I now have to try and figure out how to get my money back but for that poor customer service alone I felt the need to warn other people about this company.

The island experience was...
The island experience was great. Pick up from the hotel was on time. The only problem we had was our return transfer to the hotel was scheduled for 3 hours after the island experience finished. There is very little to do at the port for 3 hours. The tour operator was less than helpful and said there was nothing they could do. We had to organise and pay for a taxi to the hotel. I would recommend this experience to a friend however, I would strongly recommend clarifying transfers and times back to the hotel prior to booking.

South Sea Combo
A great way to see the islands in a few hours. Great food on the little island. Don’t rush into the underwater fridge if you don’t like confined spaces.
Response from the operator: Bula Vinaka A225POshawng, Vinaka vakalevu for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your South Sea Island Combo experience and found it to be a great way to explore the islands. It's also great to know you enjoyed the delicious lunch on the island. Thank you for sharing your helpful tip about the semi-submersible vessel—it will certainly be useful for future guests. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable Fiji adventure. Warm Regards!

An enjoyable day
The trip was great even though it was too rough for glass bottom boat or submersible sub. Food was good more choice in wines would be an improvement but the entertainment was amazing The real disappointment was trying to book through trip advisor as the site kept crashing we were booked twice then had problems trying to get info and refund but eventually sorted after many hours on the phone

South Sea Island Combo tour, a great day out
The South Sea Island Combo trip was a great choice for us. The Snorkelling was great, seeing lots of colourful fish and coral. The lunch was delicious and we enjoyed the traditional songs and dancing. The cruise back through the islands was great to see where they were all located.
Response from the operator: Bula Vinaka Lauren, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the South Sea Island Combo Trip, from the snorkeling and colourful marine life to the lunch and traditional songs and dancing. It’s wonderful to know the island cruise back was a highlight as well. We look forward to welcoming you again on another South Sea adventure! Warm Regards!

South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Denarau Island.
How much does South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $137 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Denarau Island usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Denarau Island is not rushed.
Is South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Denarau Island, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks?
+
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 South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks?
+
Around 8 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 Denarau Island 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 Denarau Island and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does South Sea Island Combo Trip with Lunch & Drinks 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 Denarau Island 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 Denarau Island?
+
On Outty we rank every Denarau Island experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jewel Of Fiji incl Fijian Village, waterfall & Lunch(Nadi Hotels), Largest Zipline in South Pacific & Cave Exploration in Nadi, Seventh Heaven Fiji 6 Hour Experience on a Floating Platform. 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 Denarau Island?
+
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 Denarau Island?
+
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.
