Fiji South Sea island: Day trip experience

South Sea island is one of the 300+ islands of Fiji. It is very small and not too far from Nadi. Tour companies operate half day and full day cruise to South Sea island. You can also book a room and stay overnight, but you will get bored after some time. A day trip should be just fine.

Should we book Fiji island tours in advance or can plan last minute?

If you book in advance you can coordinate hotel pickup. Alternatively if not sure of the plan you can take a taxi to Port Denaru and check which tour is available and suits your interest and plan on the go. They charge 3% extra for credit card payments.
