Relaxation, Adventure & Fun - Surrender yourself to a wondrous world of tropical tranquillity!
Smooth sailing out to our exclusive island with champagne to start our voyage then cold water, juices, coffee and cakes. Wine or beer was then offered until our arrival at our private island. Schooner Island is just as described - uninhabitated, covered with pure white sand and some coral (advise to wear footwear), a number of thatched covered day tables/seats, lounge chairs, vollleyball court and changerooms with toilets. Snorkelling was pretty good with heaps of colourful fish to see and coral. Lunch with fresh salads, vegies, fish done a couple of different ways, chicken, sausages, bread so NO one goes hungry or without liquid all day. The cold water drinks, wine and beer continued after lunch and on return journey. Just GO, relax and enjoy!!
Nice slow sailing ⛵️ on the seas enjoying Fiji 🇫🇯 time. Nice snorkelling corals with plenty of fish to see and enjoy. Overall a nice day out to unwind
We have been to the same cruise before, so this was second time. As we expected, the cruise staff were nice and friendly which made the experience memorable. But the worst issues were pick up and drop off arrangements, which really spoiled the mood of ‘nice feeling’. Initially we were told that pick up and drop off is included, but as we booked it through “ book me.com”, it is not, which made no sense. Also, the vegetarian food options we requested was not available. Eventually, we ended up paying more by paying to taxis’s, which was frustrating. Hence, two stars because of the management although cruise was nice and relaxing
