Tivua Private Island Day Trip

The Most Remote Mamanuca Day Experience

Tivua Island sits further out in the Mamanuca group than South Sea Island, requiring a longer crossing that rewards with a more remote, unspoiled feel. The island is surrounded by 500 acres of vibrant coral reef teeming with tropical fish and occasional sea turtles. Its coral planting program — run by resident marine biologists — makes this the most environmentally engaged of Fiji's island day cruises.

What's Different About Tivua

The coral planting program allows guests to actively participate in reef conservation. Marine biologists explain the reef ecology and guide guests in planting coral fragments. This adds an educational and meaningful dimension that most other island day trips don't offer. The snorkelling here is exceptional — the extra travel time means fewer boats and less disturbed marine life.

Tips

• The crossing to Tivua is longer than South Sea Island — allow time for the journey to be part of the experience
• This is a better snorkelling experience than South Sea Island but has fewer facilities
• The marine biology talk is genuinely interesting — don't skip it
