Snorkel with Reef Sharks

Our shark snorkel experience takes place a short boat ride from the white sandy beaches of Kuata and Waya Lailai Islands. The reef is a spectacular sight from above and below the water, with an abundance of colourful fish and beautiful corals that call this reef home. This outer reef is also home to some friendly reef sharks. Jump in and snorkel with them. It gets the adrenaline pumping, but they eat fish, not people, so there is no need to worry!  SHARK SNORKELLING INFORMATION
  • You’ll be provided with safety instructions from our experienced guides who’ve spent hundreds of hours getting to know the resident school of sharks. Guides will be in the water with you the entire time and will closely monitor the shark’s behaviour to ensure your safety.
  • There are two main species of sharks encountered, White Tip Reef Sharks and Black Tip Reef Sharks, both are common in the tropical warm waters of the South Pacific. They can grow to a length of up to 1.8 metres although under the water they appear 25% larger due to a snorkelling face mask’s optical illusion. Whitetips are the dominant species and are inquisitive sharks not frightened to check you out while Blacktips are by contrast timid and will shy away if they feel threatened.
  • Numbers vary but it is common to see multiple sharks. As sharks are wild animals, we cannot guarantee sightings, however, we have a 95%+ success rate of seeing them. 
  • For the water depth, both Blacktip and Whitetip Reef Sharks prefer shallower waters making snorkelling easy with good visibility. It’s even possible to see the sharks from our boat before entering the water. Water depth varies between 4 – 6 metres depending on the tide.
  • Buoyancy aids are available for less confident swimmers and because these sharks prefer shallow waters there’s no necessity to dive under the water to secure a thrilling view.

Fuel Surcharge applicable for travel

FUEL SURCHARGE IN EFFECT – UPDATED MONDAY 1ST OF JANUARY 2024

South Sea Cruises currently has a fuel surcharge to take effect for customers travelling with us on a resort transfer as well as applicable day trips. 

South Sea Cruises also notes that since setting the 2023/24 transfer rates, the Fiji Government has removed the 10c per litre duty concession which South Sea Cruises had factored into our rates at the time of issue and has now had to absorb. 

The applicable fuel surcharges in effect for travel as of Friday, 1st December 2023 are as follows:

  • Awesome Adventures Fiji Package or Pass customers – $15 per person. 
  • Resort Transfer only customers travelling to/from all Yasawa Island Resorts (including Vomo) – $15 per adult/$7.50 per child (2-15 years only) for each one-way sector. 

All fuel surcharges stated are in FJD and include applicable taxes.

Weather Advisory #1

YASAWA ISLAND DAY TRIPS DISRUPTION & RESORT TRANSFER ANNOUNCEMENT

Yasawa Adventures Fiji – South Sea Cruises Group (SSCG)
Tuesday 02nd March 2026 – 05.45am

Bula,

As a result of heavy rain and localized flooding over the past 24 hours, SSCG will continue to operate a reduced vessel schedule today, Tuesday 3rd of March 2026. This decision has been on the basis that some road access within the western division is likely to remain impassable this morning, and therefore mobilizing customers and crew to deliver normal operations is unlikely to be without its challenges.

These decisions will also give our island crews an opportunity to clean up and prepare our day trips assets from the impacts of adverse weather over the past several days.

For now, Route 7 travelling to/from the Yasawa Islands is scheduled to operate however SSCG operated day trips to the Yasawa Islands remain suspended for today, Tuesday 3rd of March 2026

Please be advised that whilst the above-named service is currently scheduled to operate, if the weather and/or sea conditions change unexpectedly and/or are at any point deemed not safe to continue operations then services may be altered or suspended with little or no notice in the interest of customer and crew safety. 

Customers impacted by the suspension of SSCG products & services can defer their departure to another day or if they are unable to defer travel they can cancel without penalty. Please contact reservations@ssc.com.fj or call +679 9995512 to amend your travel arrangements.

With the weather expected to greatly improve throughout today, all SSCG products and services are scheduled to
operate as normal on Wednesday, 4th of March 2026.

Vinaka.
