The experience
About the Finding Nemo
A fun family morning in Fiji. South Sea Island is perfect for families with small children, and this short cruise is sized to suit young attention spans.
In just 30 minutes you will be at South Sea Island, where you spend an hour and a half ashore before heading back to Denarau in time for lunch.
Even in that short time you can see the stunning underwater world of the marine sanctuary surrounding the island, with its colourful coral and magnificent fish life. You do not even have to get wet: the semi-submersible vessel takes you beneath the surface to view coral and fish through large panoramic windows.
Then spend time ashore relaxing, kayaking, swimming in the saltwater pool or snorkelling before the return trip to Port Denarau.
