Lautoka 2026 Calendar of Events

Went with the husband and two kids. Bus picked us up from Hilton, and it was about a 5-10 min ride to the port. We were the first in line waiting for the ship just before 9am. There was plenty of room above and below deck, with air conditioning. I’m a scardy cat when it comes to being in open water, but the trip was very smooth and comfortable. It was about 25-30 mins but it honestly felt like 20 mins. I also don’t like getting off ships and going in those smaller ones to get to shore, but the ship to malamala drops you off at the jetty thing. So it’s an easy on and easy off the ship. The island is beautiful. Gorgeous sand and pretty water. However, there are heaps of rocks and shells on the beach, so it wasn’t great to wade through the water. Still, there were plenty of people in the water and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. We hired two cabanas because there were 2 adults and 2 kids and when we were booking, the website claimed only two per cabana. However, you could easily fit a family of five or six under the same cabana. But I think those cabanas are more beneficial for couples or adults. If I were to go again, I would definitely book pool side because my kids spent most of the time at the pools, and the cabanas were waisted on us. Our personal butler, was a beautiful young woman who was very attentive and lovely. But like all Fijian people, you don’t come across any that aren’t kind and super sweet. I didn’t take full advantage of the beach, nor did I walk around the entire thing, which I now regret. The food at the restaurant was tasty (the best we had in Fiji). We booked a full day, but were so over it that we caught the 4pm ship instead of the one at 5. Though I think that was just us having spent too much time out in the sun the previous days that we were already super drained before we even got to Malamala. Even so, if I went back, I would only do half the day. And I would definately visit the island again.

Beautiful island with lovely staff and amazing food!!

The guide (Deo) was very friendly and knowledgeable about the stops and numerous other Fiji facts. The driver (Kamal) navigator the rough roads to the mud pool very well. All was well received

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was Bruce and he was such a joy to have. All the guides are friendly and helpful. Thank you for an incredible experience.

We were able to ride 16 ziplines and a cave exploration in the middle of the tour. The guides are knowledgeable and funny! You will have fun!

What a great trip! This was well worth the cost. My family had a great time. Thank you so much for a wonderful day!

The island great! Snorkeling was great with lots of fish. Even saw a reef shark. The staff ere great and very friendly. Full day pass is the best!!

All the experiences were interesting helped by our guide Dao's first rate knowledge and I would recommend this trip to everyone

The entire trip was amazing. The waterfall was spectacular. Lunch was tasty. The guides made everyone comfortable. And and the boat and bamboo ride to the waterfall was great as well.

The Beach Club has everything you need. Free beach chairs, kayaking, snorkeling, and pool. The food was really good too. The ferry ride was beautiful. We passed a few other Islands on the way.

Very nice way to spend some time before we had to head to the airport. Our driver was very knowledgeable and helped us learn about the area

Buna at the Rosie Holidays Desk was very patient and very helpful when I had to make a last minute booking after a confirmed tour was cancelled by another tour operator . She was quick and organised a fantastic day trip including the transfers and we were all taken care of very well. Highly recommend Rosie Holidays for memorable tours!!

High speed catamaran ferry ride to Mana island was nice to be on the water. Mana island resort was very nice and the included buffet lunch was good. We even got a “Survivor “ tour by one of the local staff which was great! My wife had a wonderful massage at the Mana Spa while I rented a bicycle and explored more of the island. Beautiful beaches and nice resort pools.

This was the highlight of our holiday in Fiji. We saw a part of the country and local life that was new to us. The guides were experienced and wonderful at explaining the area, history and included stories along the way. We stopped to take photos on the walk to the Village. The people in the Village were very friendly and hospitable and our guide was a delight. Highly recommend this tour

The host and boat staff/guides were exceptionally helpful, friendly and kind. The cultural experience was amazing. The food was incredible. It's a must do tour.

We had a great time on this tour. Eneri was our tour guide, and he was amazing. It was a first class experience. I would highly recommend going in this tour. We loved the short hike at the garden of sleeping giants and loved all the little details that made it great like having a wonderful guide to tell us about each type of plant and ending our hike with fresh juices. The mudbath experience was very fun and very relaxing and wonderful end to the tour. The Hindu temple was beautiful and full of intricate paintings and history.
