We took a tour that we booked on the wharf ( we were scouted the previous day in Lautoka ). We were told $30, which we assumed to be Fijian money, but it turned out to be $30 AUS. We got on the bus just after 9am and were told it would be about 30 minutes before we left, which we accepted. An hour later, we were still sitting and waiting, and people were getting frustrated ( thankfully the bus was air conditioned ). The bus took off, we thought we were finally leaving, but it drove around the block and back to the wharf to collect more people. 75 minutes after boarding, we finally took off. The tour was supposed to be 3 hours which included a local village, waterfall, countryside, local buildings and shopping centre. There was no commentary - the guide sat in the second seat, talked a bit to those near here but no one else could hear. The local village was a drive by - the bus did not stop, we did not get out, no local dancing or anything. Arrived at the waterfall, more waiting as the guide ran back to the entrance ( ? to pay ) and finally off. No mention of what time to be back but we overheard something about an hour so we returned by that time. 90 minutes after arriving, with most people sitting in the bus for at least 30 minutes, we finally left. A tour around the town area but we had no idea what anything was. One stop to take a photo of a guard. Dropped at shopping centre and we walked back to ship. Very unenjoyable experience, so if booking a tour off the wharf, be very careful what you are paying for What we had was not worth the $30.

This is a tendered port. The beaches are within walking distance and some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. There is not a lot to do or see near the wharf but if you want to swim or snorkel, its perfect. A couple of shops with food rather pricey. There are lots of local tours advertised as you get off the tender - we took a 50 minute tour in small van for $15AUS which gave a good overview of the island which we found interesting.

Took the bus from ship ($8US return, purchased on the ship ) which took you into the main town area. Not a lot to see, but we filled in a couple of hours walking around and seeking out the air conditioned shops ( was extremely hot ). We did not get to the beaches so cant comment on them but glad we saw the main centre. Bus service to and from ship good.

Free bus from ship to cruise terminal which is near the town centre. Walked to markets ( open in mornings ) which was a bit disappointing. Things very expensive - a small can of coke in restaurant on beach equivalent to $8 AUS! Supermarket reasonable though for refreshments. Nice beaches and good view from lookouts ( we took 90 minute tour ).

Lots to see and do in Sydney - when its not raining!
