Suva Cruise Reviews

We got lucky and booked with a local tour agent who took really good care of us. It ended up being a private tour and the flamboyant and out-going tour guide was able to show us his personal favourite spots of his home city. He was very friendly, a real character and apparently rather well known in town! We ended up meeting his mom too! ...

A local shop, Jack's of Fiji, offered free shuttles to its shop, a 5-min ride. Being a Sunday, the two markets near the dock and most shops along the main street, Victoria Parade, were closed. However, Tappoocity and Proud's Shopping Mall very near Jack's of Fiji, were open. Again, lots of private tour operators were at the dock gate. Many passengers, not doing tours, walked around town or all ...

Tour guide/bus driver barely spoke a word of English. Drove like a lunatic, often overtaking vehicles heading straight into oncoming traffic. ...

Kind of a poor city. Walking distance from ship. Nothing there to excite the traveler. ...

Very poor shopping with virtually no duty free . Cannot buy cigarettes except at the airport and Alcohol is so expensive . Don't bother . ...

private tour arranged with a taxi driver- visited sights you normally wouldn't through the cruise line ...

We did our own thing. Got off the boat and started walking. The locals will attach themselves to you and guide you to their shop in town. We’d hoped for free wifi, but couldn’t find any. We bought cheap data SIMS from Digicel and all was good! I loved the fresh fruit and vege market – the colours and smells were amazing, and the locals so friendly. Suva has big supermarkets, and you can stock up ...

Not a nice port, noting to do on the city and the only option is the overpriced ship excursions. ...

OK to walk around ...

Lovely people. A village visit adds to the experience. ...
