The Oolala Savala Island Day Cruise is a daily 6 hour day trip departing Port Denarau Marina in Nadi, Fiji at 10:00 am and returning at 4:30 pm. Guests board MV Oolooloo for a 90 minute scenic cruise past Nadi Bay, Lautoka and the Mamanuca Islands to Savala Island, a secluded private island used exclusively by Oolala guests. Prices start at FJ$269 per adult and include Denarau hotel transfers, lunch, drinks all day, a snorkelling tour with fish feeding and baby shark sighting, kayaks, paddle boards and a glass bottom boat tour.

With a maximum of 80 guests, Oolala is the boutique alternative to Fiji's large-scale island day cruises — ideal for travellers who want personal service, crystal-clear swimming water, abundant tropical fish and a genuinely Fijian day on the water away from the main tourist route.

Note: due to an increase in fuel prices there is a temporary FJ$15 per adult / FJ$10 per child (5–15 years) fuel surcharge, payable at the check-in counter.
