This is Suli's full local adventure: a short boat ride from the beach beside the InterContinental across to a small island just offshore, followed by a walk across the island to a hidden sea cave that most visitors to Natadola never even hear about.

Along the way, your guide points out local landmarks — including parts of the island's history — before leading you into the cool, shaded mouth of the cave itself. It's a proper little adventure: some scrambling over rock, cave air, and the kind of story-telling that only comes from a guide who grew up here.

The tour typically finishes with a snorkel stop at a quiet beach on the far side of the island, well away from the main tourist strip — one of the reasons this trip is consistently the highlight of guests' entire Fiji holiday, according to their own reviews.

Good to Know

There is a walk involved on the island, including some uneven terrain — this tour suits reasonably mobile guests.
Sea conditions affect the crossing; your guide will always call it if it isn't safe on the day.
This tour is well suited to combining with the snorkeling tour if you have a full day free — ask about a combined booking on WhatsApp.
As with all of Suli's tours, timing is flexible around the tides rather than a fixed clock time.

“We had a great day out with Suli and his amazing assistants. Visited Sanasana village on his boat, then headed over to the island for a cave tour, then to a secluded beach for a snorkel. Six adults and four kids, and it was a brilliant day.”

“My partner and I had a fantastic adventure with Suli. We went snorkelling, explored a sea cave, and finished with an authentic local seafood dinner on the beach. A real Fiji experience, not a tourist trap.”

“Absolutely wonderful outing with Suli during our trip to Fiji. He took us to the island opposite our resort for snorkelling and cave exploring, then over to his village, Sanasana, to meet the locals. Considerably better than the resort tour and significantly less costly — Suli relaxed on the beach while we swam, never rushing us. Would absolutely recommend Suli and his team to anyone wanting to see the real Fiji.”

Cave Tour — Frequently Asked Questions

Is the cave tour suitable for kids?

Yes, older kids generally do well on this tour, though there is some walking and light scrambling involved. Let your guide know ages on WhatsApp so the pace can be adjusted.

How far is the island from the InterContinental?

It's a short, scenic boat ride of only a few minutes from the beach next to the resort — one of the reasons this tour is so popular with InterContinental guests looking for something authentic close by.

Can we combine the cave tour with snorkeling and lunch?

Yes — many guests combine the cave walk, a snorkel stop, and a village or seafood lunch into a longer half-day. Message on WhatsApp to build a custom itinerary.

What should I wear for the cave walk?

Closed sandals or reef shoes are strongly recommended, along with swimwear you don't mind getting sandy and salty.
