4 Hour Trip – Unwind Day
Absolutely! Here's a polished 5-star review you can use or tweak as needed: --- **5 Stars – Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure!** We had an absolutely amazing fishing trip with Captain Ilai! From start to finish, it was an experience our whole family will never forget. Captain Ilai was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly friendly and great with the kids—making it a perfect charter for families. The boat was well-equipped, safe, and comfortable, and Captain Ilai made sure we were in the right spots to catch fish and have fun. His passion for fishing and the ocean truly made the day special. The kids were thrilled, and the excitement on their faces every time they reeled in a catch was priceless. If you're a fishing enthusiast looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or just someone wanting to try something new with the family, I highly recommend this charter. Thanks again, Captain Ilai, for the memories—we'll definitely be back!

4 Hour Trip – Unwind Day
We had a great experience. Captain Ilai picked us up right on the beachfront of our hotel. After a nice cruise out to the fishing area, starting trolling, fishing, etc. We had the opportunity to swim & he even offered to take us to an island for snorkeling. He was so accommodating - our family thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Thank you Captain Ilai!

4 Hour Fishing Trip
Was an awesome trip! Stayed at the Sheraton and were picked up right off the beach. The captain and crew were 1st class and just great guys to talk to. Did not try to push extra on us, but were determined to catch some fish. We fished for almost our time limit and as we were getting close to going back, we tried one last spot and bang!! Strike after strike!! Was an awesome trip!! We even stopped and fished with a hand line the Fijian way which was awesome!!

6 Hour Fishing Trip
We had a chance to experience several different types of fishing and snorkeling on our trip. We were able to be picked up and dropped off right from the beach at the Sheraton. While we didn’t catch “the big one” we did catch plenty of fish to keep the kids engaged and wanting to fish for days. We even saw dolphins on our way out. We would do this again for sure. Thanks for a great day on the ocean!

4 Hour Trip – Unwind Day
We had a the best experience with Captain Ellie and his wonderful Dutch Deck Hand! 😃 My daughter and I had a half day fishing and spearfishing on the reef. We ended up catching fish, enjoying each others company that much that our families with children enjoyed dinner together that night. Local, caring and dedicated to your Fijian fishing experience. Don't pick anyone else! Thanks for the memories guys
