  • 3Great experience on the water, but disappointing customer service

    The crew were excellent, and the food and drinks were great. The snorkelling was fantastic, and the guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and made the experience really enjoyable. The actual trip itself was a highlight, and the team on board did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, the customer service surrounding our booking was a very different experience. We made a mistake with our booking and tried to get help resolving the issue, but found the company unwilling to assist in addressing the problem. They appear very helpful when it comes to making a booking, but if you need to amend a booking or resolve an issue, that support seems to disappear. Another major concern is the transfer collection process. They do not call you to confirm your pickup, so if there is any mistake or misunderstanding with your transfer booking, you risk being left behind and missing out on the experience altogether. There seems to be very little effort to communicate with customers or help resolve issues before they become a problem. One of the contacts I reached out to did not respond until three days after the trip, when it was far too late to be of any help. It is disappointing because the experience itself was so good, but the lack of support, communication, and flexibility took away from the overall impression. A great holiday experience should be backed up by good customer service, especially when genuine mistakes happen. I would recommend the sailing experience itself, but advise others to double-check every booking detail, particularly transfers, as you may find yourself without support if anything goes wrong. I hope South Sea Sailing takes this feedback on board and improves how it communicates with and supports its customers when things don't go to plan.

  • 5Perfect Day Trip

    Perfect day trip. There were about 40 people on the boat. Small enough group for each party to almost have their own table/seating area. It was a beautiful boat ride to the small island we ended up at. Food and drinks were included with our package, The food served was very good. The time spend relaxing on the Island was so fun. There were beach chairs arranged for us and we could snorkel as well. Then it was back to the boat for lunch. We had the option to return for a bit longer to the island but choose to stay and play on the boat. We were able to jump off the boat or slide down a small slide. There were also paddle boards available as well. The staff was engaging, super friendly and fun! We had a good group of people on the boat for it made for a fun trip.

  • 5Fiji snorkelling day trip

    The best day of our trip. Group of 8 girls from 10-70 years for my 70th birthday. They helped me celebrate with a coffee Martini which I thought was complimentary which I ended up paying for. Was lost a little in translation. More than made up for it with a small dessert, sang HBday and had to do a Congo line around the boat. Much appreciated, Great end to the day. We all jumped off the boat went down the slippery dip and did approx 1 hour snorkelling which tested some of us out but they took good care of us. I got towed out by the kayak. Lots of us ended up with self inflicted sunburn. It was overcast and we got caught out. Food and drinks were exceptional. Best day in Fiji

  • 5Awesome day out swimming and snorkeling on the Sabre

    This was a great day out. The crew on the Sabre were awesome. We were greeted with a welcome drink, they provided morning tea and a buffet lunch. We snorkelled with our teenage kids following a guide the ended up on a tiny island where we could swim or relax. The atmosphere on the boat was awesome, they played great music, we were jumping off the side and going down the slide. It was so much fun. We would definitely do this again.
