Savala Island Day Cruise - Oolala Cruises
Sail to the peaceful island haven that is Savala on a boutique cruise experience away from the crowds. Enjoy lunch, complimentary drinks, watersports, wildlife and a glass bottom boat ride on this memorable trip brought to you by Oolala Cruises.
Avoid the early crowds and start your adventure the easy way with a relaxed 10:00 am departure from Denarau Marina aboard our charming vessel, the M.V. Oolooloo. Cruise smoothly over calm, clear waters as our friendly crew shares fun facts about the nearby islands and Fijian culture. Sip on coffee or tea and enjoy delicious homemade pastries as you take in the stunning views.
After a scenic 60 minute cruise, you’ll arrive at Savala Island—a peaceful, private paradise with soft white sands, clear turquoise waters, and shady spots to unwind. This boutique island experience is limited to smaller groups, so you get more space, more peace, and more personal attention.
Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, there’s something for everyone. Snorkel in vibrant coral reefs, paddle a kayak or stand-up board, explore the marine life in a glass-bottom boat, or simply stretch out in the shade with a cool drink. Kids and adults alike will love the warm, interactive staff and fun island activities, including fish feeding, coconut demos, and Fijian handicrafts.
A tasty BBQ buffet lunch is served with live music in the island’s main bure, followed by more time to play or relax. You can even treat yourself to a soothing massage (extra cost) before heading back.
As we cruise home, enjoy afternoon tea with more fresh cake and a final round of refreshments. By the time we return to Denarau at 4:30 pm, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear with unforgettable memories of your day in paradise.
Everything’s included. Just bring your towel, sunscreen, and sense of adventure!

Gerne wieder!
Wir haben einen wunderschönen Tag auf der kleinen Insel Savala verbracht. Die Crew war super freundlich und stets bemüht deinen Aufenthalt auf dem Boot und der Insel so perfekt wie möglich zu machen. Auf der Insel konnten wir die Kajaks und SUP benutzen, Babyhaie füttern ebenso wie Fische auf dem Glasbottom-Boot. Das Mittagessen war auch super lecker! Alle sind mit guter Laune und einem Lächeln im Gesicht Nachmittag wieder am Port Denarau angekommen. Diese Tagestour ist wärmstens weiterempfehlen, und jeden Dollar wert!
From Savala Island Day Cruise - Oolala Cruises
Bula Kea, Thank you for your kind review and for highly recommending us! It really sounds like you enjoyed all aspects of our offerings at Oolala Cruises. From our delicious lunch and morning/afternoon tea, to the snorkelling and baby shark nursery, all the watersports and the refreshing beverages! We are glad that our crew made you feel so welcome with their smiles, songs and laughter. Their positive mood spreads smiles far and wide and we are glad that you could share their enthusiasm. Hopefully you return to Fiji again someday soon! Vinaka! The team at Oolala Cruises

What a wonderful day
Had an amazing time on the Oolala! Staff was top notch! Playing guitar, singing, bringing around snacks and getting us drinks on the way. The snorkeling was amazing! Reefs were quite shallow in a lot of places so you could literally float right on top of the beautiful fish! Lunch was adequate. The weather was icky and windy and it even rained but I would ABSOLUTELY do it again!! Thanks Oolala

Awesome day trip
Great day out. Picked up on time, boat transfers across and back were long but helped with the crew singing. Cake and drinks also on the boat. The island is beautiful. Although they did run out of wine and beer it on the island it was still available on the boat when we got back on. BBQ was great with plenty to eat. Highly recommend it

Savala island
We only rated it a 5 because there was no 6. We were a group of 6 with one couple in their mid 70 's. Great food, excelent crew, could not fault the day. Sebastian (Booboo) and the rest of the crew are awesome the service Bula smiles and singing made the day. We will be going again before we we go home. Vinaka team.

Ein rundum gelungener Tag
Nachdem unsere Bookme Buchung manuel umgebucht wurde ("an Ihrem gebuchten Wunschtag sind wir ausgebucht") und der Shuttle Fahrer uns vergessen hatte, waren wir skeptisch, wie der Tag weitergeht. Aber es wurde perfekt! Die Tour guides waren sehr aufmerksam und informativ, der Ablauf war gut geplant, die Zeit auf der Insel betrug 4 Stunden, die Fahrten mit dem relativ kleinen Boot (super:bei uns waren nur 30 Gäste!) dauern etwa 1 Stunde, das Essen war okay, das Schnorcheln hervorragend, die Stimmung toll. Außerdem wurden kostenfrei Aufsitzkayaks und SUPs samt Schwimmwesten angeboten, eine Masseurin war zudem an Bord. Herzlichen Dank an das tolle Team vor Ort! Ein Highlight auf Fiji.
