OOLALA DAY ON SAVALA ISLAND
- Location: Denarau Island, Nadi
Avoid the daily rush of day cruise departures and meet at Denarau Marina for a leisurely 10.00am departure on the M.V. Oolooloo
which heads over tranquil waters to the exquisite private Savala Island. Enjoyable for both adults and children alike with the interactive staff
providing continuous entertainment and an exciting insight into Fiji’s lifestyle and handicraft skills.

waters and islands and can enjoy morning refreshments and locally home-made pastries on the journey. You soon arrive at the sandy cay for your four-hour stay and a smaller transfer boat takes you to land on the tropical island and sanctuary that you will share with a variety of birds and unique marine life during your stay.

corals giving special care to novice snorkelers and children. - Guests have the option to simply relax on the beach on beach beds or simply lay on their sarongs under the trees or beach "bures" (small shade huts) just like we do in the village on the sand or
