- Is het veilig?
- Ja. Je krijgt veiligheidsinstructies van onze ervaren gidsen die honderden uren hebben besteed aan het leren kennen van onze school haaien. Onze gidsen zullen de hele tijd bij je in het water zijn en zullen het gedrag van de haaien nauwlettend volgen om je veiligheid te garanderen.
- Wat voor soort haaien zal ik zien?
- Er worden twee hoofdsoorten haaien aangetroffen, de witpuntrifhaaien en de zwartpuntrifhaaien, beide komen veel voor in de tropische warme wateren van de Stille Zuidzee. Elke soort kan iets meer dan 1,5 meter lang worden, hoewel ze onder water 25% groter lijken, een optische illusie van een snorkelmasker. White Tips zijn de dominante soort en zijn van nature een nieuwsgierige haai die niet bang is om je te controleren. Hun Black Tip-familieleden zijn daarentegen verlegen en zullen terugdeinzen als ze zich bedreigd voelen.
- Hoeveel haaien zal ik zien?
- Aantallen variëren, maar het is gebruikelijk om tot zes haaien te zien.
- Hoe diep is het water?
- Zowel Black Tip als White Tip Reef Sharks geven de voorkeur aan ondieper water waardoor snorkelen gemakkelijk is met goed zicht. Het is zelfs mogelijk om de haaien vanaf onze boot te zien voordat je het water in gaat. De waterdiepte varieert tussen de 4 en 6 meter, afhankelijk van het getij.
- Wat als ik geen goede zwemmer ben, nog niet eerder heb gesnorkeld of niet wil snorkelen maar mijn reisgenoot wel?
- Er zijn drijfhulpmiddelen beschikbaar voor minder zelfverzekerde zwemmers en omdat deze haaien de voorkeur geven aan ondiep water, is het niet nodig om onder water te duiken om een opwindend uitzicht te krijgen. Niet-snorkelers kunnen deelnemen aan de dag, maar zitten de snorkelervaring uit.
- Onze haaiengarantie
- Aangezien haaien wilde dieren zijn, kunnen we waarnemingen niet garanderen, maar we hebben een slagingspercentage van 95% + voor het waarnemen van haaien. In het geval dat u geen haaien ziet, zijn we blij dat u binnen 3 dagen na uw oorspronkelijke cruise terugkomt voor een gratis "Ultimate Encounter - Snorkelen met haaien".
- Als slechte weersomstandigheden en zeecondities ertoe leiden dat de 'Snorkelen met haaien-ervaring' wordt geannuleerd, wordt er een vervangende snorkelsafari aangeboden.
- Breng zwemkleding, handdoek, beschermende kleding tegen de zon mee, inclusief een hoed en zonnebrandcrème, een lichte jas of trui tijdens de koudere maanden, geld of creditcard voor optionele aankopen, uw camera en gevoel voor plezier!

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

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!).
this was so much fun and an experience I will never forget. the guides are really cool/ knowledgable people who made the day awesome. We got the video package which I highly recommend they are crazy awesome videos to have. Food was incredible, the people on the island where awesome to meet they where so kind to everyone and just made the day even better. Be prepared for a long day, especially if your resort is a bit further out from port Denarau.

This tour was so much more than I expected! The main boat ride from denarau was about an hour and a half and then you get on smaller boats to get to a small resort island. This was such a cool experience. Once we arrived at the island the staff greets you with a song, which I love. The snorkeling was incredible. The water was so clear and the corals and fish were so colorful and plentiful! We saw 3-4 sharks which was so cool, but the real showstopper was just the reef itself. After snorkeling, the buffet lunch was delicious. Such a variety of food and everything was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour!
Bula Vinaka Mollym1009, Vinaka vakalevu for your amazing review!
