Questions? We have answers

Tivua Island Day Cruise FAQS

Where is Tivua Island?

Just 90 minutes cruising time from Port Denarau Marina, Tivua Island is a tiny gem in the Pacific and is Captain Cook Cruises’ very own private piece of the Mamanuca island group. This is an archipelago of 20 volcanic islands totalling around 135 square kilometres in the western part of Fiji. Tivua Island is ringed by a white sandy beach and surrounded by 500 acres of spectacular coral gardens, making it a snorkelling and diving paradise for visitors. The island also offers a variety of other activities including stand up paddleboarding, kayaking and glass bottom boat tours, scenic walks and seasonal bird and turtle viewing.

What is included in the optional extras?

Optional extras available for an additional cost on our Tivua Island Day Cruise include scuba diving for all levels provided by professional PADI instructors, with the chance to learn to dive stunning coral reefs and, for advanced experienced divers, even explore a shipwreck. Optional massage services are offered by the Senakai Day Spa on the island and we also have two waterfront bures with ensuite available for day hire during your visit. Other options include our Tivua Island Proposal Package, complete with lunch in a private bure, our Wedding Package including ceremony, meals, activities and photography and our Day and Dinner Cruise Combo offering both day and dinner cruise with a 25% discount on one

How many passengers are onboard day cruises and are they suitable for kids?

Tivua Island day cruises have a maximum capacity of 100 passengers to a vessel and the island has a capacity of 200 guests. All ages are welcome on our day cruise and dinner cruise. Children must have adult supervision at all times and they must be capable of swimming by themselves unassisted. Children under 5 years of age are also welcome on our day cruises, but parents will need to provide their flotation devices. We offer a Captain’s Kids Club on the Tivua Island Day Cruise for children between 5 and 12 years old.

What is included in a day cruise?

Our Tivua Island Day Cruise offers our guests a huge variety of activities included in the cost. These include marine biologist guided snorkelling tours off the beach and pontoon and glass bottom boat tours, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, beach volleyball, seasonal bird and turtle viewing and a range of Fijian cultural experiences including a traditional Kava ceremony. Both our day cruise and dinner cruise also include a buffet meal made with fresh local ingredients. Optional extras for an additional cost on our day cruise include beach massages by the Senakai Day Spa on the island and scuba diving for all experience levels under the guidance of professional PADI instructors.

What are the key differences between a day cruise and a dinner cruise?

Our Tivua Island Day Cruise and Fiji Sunset Dinner Cruise are literally as different as day and night. While our day cruise is all about water based activities and family fun in the sun, our dinner cruise is a time to unwind and enjoy a fresh, tropical buffet dinner and a glass of sparkling against the backdrop of a stunning Fijian sunset. While both cruises include traditional Fijian hospitality and a sumptuous meal made with fresh local ingredients, the Tivua Island Day Cruise is more kid-friendly, with a Captain’s Kids Club and lots of activities to keep them active and occupied. Perhaps to enjoy the best of both worlds, the answer is to go on both cruises.

What you can expect

Tivua Island: where warm waters, acres of coral gardens, and soft white beaches await. This day cruise afloat a magnificent tall ship, Ra Marama , combines sailing through crystal-clear seas to a Fijian island with buffet lunch spreads and plenty of activities too—just don’t forget your sun cream.

Head for Denarau Marina, board the historic beauty Ra Marama or Spirit of the Pacific or Sailing Cat Fiji One and set sail for Tivua Private Island. Enjoy your morning tea as the anchor is pulled up, and the captain steers you towards the open sea. Upon arrival on the island, receive a warm greeting and sip kava among the locals—all part of an ancient welcome ceremony.

From here, spend the day exactly how you please. Catch a ride over 500 acres of coral gardens, and peer down through your glass-bottomed boat at centuries of colourful reefs. Should a particular patch of anemones require a closer inspection, simply dive off the edge and snorkel in for a personal introduction.

For lunch, feast on a buffet spread of fresh fruit, local specialities, and refreshing drinks. Post-refuel, tackle some traditional Fijian crafts, canoe, play volleyball, or simply sprawl out on a hammock. Wind down with a cup of afternoon tea, before your evening sail back to the marina.

Transfers from the Coral Coast, Vuda, Lautoka, and Sonasali incur fees which can be paid upon check-in.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
