When looking at day trips from Port Denarau we came across Whales Tail. This trip did not disappoint. From a great continental breakfast when boarding the boat, to the singing by the crew all the way to the island, beautiful lunch and guided snorkelling were
I went here for a day with my family to an island to snorkel for the day. The service here is great! They have a very good crew, good food on board and good equipment for the snorkeling. I would definitely recommend, the captain even let us kids drive the boat!
Great day visiting schooner island. Staff were welcoming and looked after our young ones 7 and 3 on board. Free drinks champagne breakfast and a bbq lunch...a secluded island with snorkeling glass bottom boat volleyball feeding the gummy sharks with crew and some down time
Honeymoon: Our day cruise onboard whales tale was amazing. We enjoyed the cruise & the crew were really friendly. Would definitely go again with family & friends
