Fiji is a nation of 333 islands, so many of the boat tours in Fiji offer visitors a chance to spend a day on idyllic islands to enjoy at leisure. Most of the time, the islands that boat tours go to have a resort offering day-trippers free use of non-motorised watersports equipment, like snorkelling gear and kayaks. There is also often a bar and restaurant, gorgeous beaches and a pool to lounge by. Other cruises have day trips to their own private islands, often met with traditional Fijian Kava Ceremonies and a “Lovo” or Fijian barbecue lunch.
