Awesome day out swimming and snorkeling on the Sabre
This was a great day out. The crew on the Sabre were awesome. We were greeted with a welcome drink, they provided morning tea and a buffet lunch. We snorkelled with our teenage kids following a guide the ended up on a tiny island where we could swim or relax. The atmosphere on the boat was awesome, they played great music, we were jumping off the side and going down the slide. It was so much fun. We would definitely do this again.

Great Fiji Day Trip

Highly recommended trip
Awesome full-day trip on the SABRE with South Sea Cruises. The staff were friendly, attentive and made the whole day fantastic. The island was beautiful, and the highlight was the amazing snorkelling. Highly recommend this trip. Book directly through your resort and avoid anyone offering discounted fares, as these can be scams unrelated to South Sea Cruises. Take plenty of sunscreen!

A memorable experience.
Weve visited Fiji a number of times over the years and been on other sailing and snorkeling trips. This was by far the best sailing trip weve done. The boat was great with so much space. Some of us get motion sickness however the boat was steady and we all enjoyed the day. The food was exceptional with so many gluten and dairy free options. The snorkeling and island excursions were great fun. The water slide and paddle boards provided entertainment for everyone. The staff made us all feel so welcome and special. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day sailing trip. Do it, it's a truly memorable experience.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
South Sea Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Viti Levu.
How much does South Sea Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years) cost?
+
Prices start at $164 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 South Sea Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years) take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 South Sea Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 651 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Viti Levu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule South Sea Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years)?
+
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 Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book South Sea Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years)?
+
Around 228 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does South Sea Sailing Full Day Trip with Lunch & Drinks (min 5 years) 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.
