The joy of cruising the sparkling emerald and azure waters that join Fiji’s 330 islands is not just in the pleasure of experiencing untrammeled beauty but also in the realization of childhood dreams of faraway places. The range and scope of day cruises include dolphin-watching tours, game fishing trips, snorkeling trips, and many more. For those with plenty of time on their hands, getting around Fiji by boat is fantastic, with ferry services linking Viti Levu to all the other island groups. These inter-island ferries carry passengers, cargo, and vehicles, with onboard food and beverages available. The only downside to traveling by inter-island ferry is that they are not very punctual, and most boats do not leave or arrive at the appointed hour. This can be especially difficult if you are pressed for time. So during your adventures, please bear this in mind.
