- Est-ce sûr?
- Oui. Vous recevrez des instructions de sécurité de nos guides expérimentés qui ont passé des centaines d'heures à connaître notre école de requins résidente. Nos guides seront dans l'eau avec vous tout le temps et surveilleront de près le comportement des requins pour assurer votre sécurité.
- Quel type de requins vais-je voir ?
- Il existe deux principales espèces de requins rencontrées, les requins à pointe blanche et les requins à pointe noire, tous deux communs dans les eaux tropicales chaudes du Pacifique Sud. Chaque espèce peut atteindre une longueur d'un peu plus de 1,5 mètre, bien que sous l'eau, elle semble 25% plus grande, une illusion d'optique de masque facial de plongée en apnée. Les pointes blanches sont l'espèce dominante et sont par nature un requin curieux qui n'a pas peur de vous observer. Leurs parents Black Tip sont en revanche timides et se détourneront s'ils se sentent menacés.
- Combien de requins vais-je voir ?
- Les nombres varient mais il est courant de voir jusqu'à six requins.
- Quelle est la profondeur de l'eau ?
- Les requins de récif à pointe noire et à pointe blanche préfèrent les eaux moins profondes, ce qui facilite la plongée en apnée avec une bonne visibilité. Il est même possible de voir les requins depuis notre bateau avant d'entrer dans l'eau. La profondeur de l'eau varie entre 4 et 6 mètres selon la marée.
- Que se passe-t-il si je ne suis pas un bon nageur, si je n'ai jamais fait de plongée avec tuba ou si je ne veux pas faire de plongée avec tuba, mais que mon compagnon de voyage le fait ?
- Des aides à la flottabilité sont disponibles pour les nageurs moins confiants et, comme ces requins préfèrent les eaux peu profondes, il n'est pas nécessaire de plonger sous l'eau pour s'assurer une vue palpitante. Les non-plongeurs peuvent participer à la journée mais ne pas participer à l'expérience de plongée en apnée.
- Notre garantie requin
- Comme les requins sont des animaux sauvages, nous ne pouvons pas garantir les observations, mais nous avons un taux de réussite de 95 % + d'observation des requins. Dans le cas où vous ne voyez pas de requins, nous sommes heureux que vous reveniez pour une "rencontre ultime - plongée avec tuba avec les requins" dans les 3 jours suivant votre croisière initiale.
- Si le mauvais temps et les conditions de mer entraînent l'annulation de l'expérience «Snorkeling with Sharks», un safari de plongée en apnée de remplacement sera proposé.
- Veuillez apporter un maillot de bain, une serviette, des vêtements de protection contre le soleil, y compris un chapeau et un écran solaire, une veste légère ou un pull pendant les mois les plus froids, de l'argent ou une carte de crédit pour les achats facultatifs, votre appareil photo et votre sens du plaisir !

Had a great experience snorkeling with the reef sharks, was definitely a highlight of our trip. These are memories our kids will have for a lifetime. The food was a bit cold and not many options for kids, we took our own snacks which saved the day.
Great excursion and tour operator was extremely professional and responsive. It was great seeing all the fishes and sharks in the water
We had the best day . As grandparents we went with our teenage granddaughters who had talked as into it. So many fish and reef sharks. So much fun
The tour was amazing and staff were super friendly, knowledgeable and were happy to answer any questions we had. Made us feel comfortable and taken care of, especially as we were tourists from another country. We saw two reef sharks when snorkelling! The environment and scenery is beautiful and the man dancing on top of the mountain when we were returning to the boat home was incredible! One thing I would note is that you are only out snorkelling for 45minutes. It was a good amount of time for us, it’s just not mentioned anywhere when you’re booking.
Really great for people who have never seen the coral reefs or snorkeled. A little frustrating that we boated past the coral reef to Kuata island, then went half way back to Nadi, it felt like a waste of time because i only got 40 minutes in the water with the sharks. Lots of sharks tho, loooved that i could rent a gopro and take my own photos and videos. I cried because it was so amazing but also because it was too short for so much money. Then i was basically forced to waste time on the beach resort. I am a traveler, not a vacationer. Adhd HATES sitting beside the pool its a waste of time. Make sure to bring a book or a phone charger if you dont use usb-c. Spent more time by the pool and bar than in the water with the sharks. Great if thats what you like, but I need more action.
Excellent experience! We had a transfer to Port Denarau from Marriott Momi Bay, about 45 min (arranged with the hotel, not included). You checked in with South Sea cruises at the Passenger Terminal. ATMs are available at the terminal. We started with a high speed catamaran from Port Denarau to Kuata Barefood Island with South Sea Cruises (2nd stop), about 1h 30-45 min. They put a wrist band on you identifying that you’re with the shark tour. The helpful crew made it clear where you’re getting off. Once you get near the island, a motorized boat takes you to land and the resort part. Bar, tables, lounge chairs, and bathrooms (roomy and clean) available. Then, the shark tour crew go over the day with you and check in. Snorkel equipment available (included), waivers are signed, options for video packages (underwater GoPro), and lunch buffet are discussed. We were separated into 2 groups. First group was able to go out on motorized boats (bumpy), about 10-15 min to do the actual shark tour, which lasted about 30-40 min before you head back to the resort. It seems short, but just enough time for us. When you get back, you walk back across the rocky/pebbly beach for lunch (served between 12-2, very delicious). Then the 2nd group goes. We were lucky to be in the first group, eating after the excursion was better and more rewarding. Also, we found out there’s an easier walk behind the beach on the resort part, no rocks/pebbles, which is the way we walked back later for pick up. Lots of time to relax, eat, drink, and tan (especially from 1st group). Then, you can walk to a small cave nearby to explore (artifacts in cave) and at 2pm, the women from Wailea (island across) bring over their small crafts market for souvenirs. They had jewelry, sarongs, and other small cute souvenirs. They only accept cash. The other part of the resort accepted card/tap. Wifi available on South Sea cruises and the resort. No ATM on resort, so get cash before boarding. Overall, a great Fijian experience. Highly recommended! Oh, and for us, we did see a lot of sharks!

You get a whole new view on sharks 🦈. They are amazingly streamlined and swim so effortlessly. I. Really pleased I went outside my comfort zone to do it. Everything and everyone was wonderful

As much as I would love to give this a 5/5 I just cannot. The boat ride to the island was great we sat up top and has a great view of all the islands. However whenever we got to the island and they called us downstairs to wait is was absolute chaos. There was no communication about where to stand who was going where and there were people getting on the boat that were leaving the island. They really needed one side for the day trip people and one side for the people staying at the resort. After we got onto the little boat and got to the island AGAIN there was no communication about where to go all the staff said just follow those people so we walked a good 200 yards to an area of the resort where we were all meeting up. They gave us time to change and get ready however they were overbooked by at least 20 people so they had to split us up into two groups the first went snorkeling and the other group that I was in we had to wait until after lunch to go on the second trip. They allowed us to use the pools there but there was no direction as to where the dive shop was to use the paddle boards. Lunch was very good I will give that a 5/5. When the first group finally came back it was time for us to go. The boat ride on those small boats is definitely terrifying if you haven't been on a small boat before. We got to see tons of sharks which was a one of a kind experience. After we got back we basically sat around waiting for the boat to come back. Since we had to go on the second snorkel trip we missed out on the trip to the village. Very disappointing in the lack of and the overbooking. If our trip was not overbooked by so many people I think this would have been a great experience for everyone. The island from what we could see in our area was very beautiful. If you want to see sharking in Fiji I would recommend this but be conscious it could be overbooked again
Bula Vinaka Sarah_M, Vinaka vakalevu for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the boat journey, the beautiful island surroundings, the lunch, and especially the unforgettable shark snorkelling experience. We are, however, very sorry to hear that aspects of the day were impacted by communication gaps, organisation on arrival, and delays in the activity flow. This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and your comments regarding boarding coordination, guest flow management, and group capacity have been noted seriously. We would appreciate the opportunity to review this further. Please contact our Customer Service team at customerservices@ssc.com.fj with your booking details so we can investigate what occurred on your trip. Thank you again for your honest feedback—it is invaluable in helping us improve the guest experience. Warm regards!
Awesome experience snorkeling with sharks in super clear water
Bula Vinaka GrandTour44690701340, Vinaka vakalevu for your great feedback. We’re delighted to hear you had an awesome experience snorkelling with sharks in Fiji’s clear waters. Thank you for joining us on the Ultimate Encounter and for taking the time to share your review. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure. Warm regards!
As an avid ocean lover I loved this experience. Greated by locals signing the Island was beautiful and although I was skeptical from previous reviews about the amount of time in the water with the sharks it was a fair amount of time for a scheldued day trip. We had free time after our shark dive / lunch and was able to utalise this to snorkel off the beach and enjoy the ocean even more (although no sharks in that close unfortunetly!).
