Savala Island Day Cruise - Oolala Cruises
Sail to the peaceful island haven that is Savala on a boutique cruise experience away from the crowds. Enjoy lunch, complimentary drinks, watersports, wildlife and a glass bottom boat ride on this memorable trip brought to you by Oolala Cruises.
Avoid the early crowds and start your adventure the easy way with a relaxed 10:00 am departure from Denarau Marina aboard our charming vessel, the M.V. Oolooloo. Cruise smoothly over calm, clear waters as our friendly crew shares fun facts about the nearby islands and Fijian culture. Sip on coffee or tea and enjoy delicious homemade pastries as you take in the stunning views.
After a scenic 60 minute cruise, you’ll arrive at Savala Island—a peaceful, private paradise with soft white sands, clear turquoise waters, and shady spots to unwind. This boutique island experience is limited to smaller groups, so you get more space, more peace, and more personal attention.
Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, there’s something for everyone. Snorkel in vibrant coral reefs, paddle a kayak or stand-up board, explore the marine life in a glass-bottom boat, or simply stretch out in the shade with a cool drink. Kids and adults alike will love the warm, interactive staff and fun island activities, including fish feeding, coconut demos, and Fijian handicrafts.
A tasty BBQ buffet lunch is served with live music in the island’s main bure, followed by more time to play or relax. You can even treat yourself to a soothing massage (extra cost) before heading back.
As we cruise home, enjoy afternoon tea with more fresh cake and a final round of refreshments. By the time we return to Denarau at 4:30 pm, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear with unforgettable memories of your day in paradise.
Everything’s included. Just bring your towel, sunscreen, and sense of adventure!

Gerne wieder!
Wir haben einen wunderschönen Tag auf der kleinen Insel Savala verbracht. Die Crew war super freundlich und stets bemüht deinen Aufenthalt auf dem Boot und der Insel so perfekt wie möglich zu machen. Auf der Insel konnten wir die Kajaks und SUP benutzen, Babyhaie füttern ebenso wie Fische auf dem Glasbottom-Boot. Das Mittagessen war auch super lecker! Alle sind mit guter Laune und einem Lächeln im Gesicht Nachmittag wieder am Port Denarau angekommen. Diese Tagestour ist wärmstens weiterempfehlen, und jeden Dollar wert!

Bula Kea, Thank you for your kind review and for highly recommending us! It really sounds like you enjoyed all aspects of our offerings at Oolala Cruises. From our delicious lunch and morning/afternoon tea, to the snorkelling and baby shark nursery, all the watersports and the refreshing beverages! We are glad that our crew made you feel so welcome with their smiles, songs and laughter. Their positive mood spreads smiles far and wide and we are glad that you could share their enthusiasm. Hopefully you return to Fiji again someday soon! Vinaka! The team at Oolala Cruises

Best Memories Ever
This was the best experience I could have found! The whole team was amazing and so warm and friendly from beginning to end. Not only that, but they were extremely vigilant on safety measures and making everything fun for EVERY age on board. We had seniors, people in their 20s and a girl who was probably about 10 and everyone was beaming the entire time. I grew up a water baby and loved the ocean growing up but after I had my son, I grew fearful of the open ocean. Steven, who led the snorkel guide, made me forget those fears and I went out for the whole thing and we even saw a shark at lunch time! I’ll be back for sure - the OoLaLa team have been etched into my heart 💗

10/10 - amazing day out
If you’re looking to venture out from the mainland to experience the island vibe these guys are brilliant. Family friendly and super welcoming crew, super relaxing vibe and options to chill or venture out snorkeling you can take your pick. Would go again without hesitation.

Awesome day.
Lovely friendly staff. Made you feel special and welcome. There was one guy who played guitar and sang with a very nice voice. The trip was good - being able to stand or sit outside at the bow or inside was nice. We arrived at a tiny island and were greeted/challenged by 2 warriors who we could take photos with. There were kayaks, SUP boards and the guides took us out snorkeling. Very relaxed time. Good food and coconut demo. The day ended too quickly! Would highly recommend and would do it again.

Ein rundum gelungener Tag
Nachdem unsere Bookme Buchung manuel umgebucht wurde ("an Ihrem gebuchten Wunschtag sind wir ausgebucht") und der Shuttle Fahrer uns vergessen hatte, waren wir skeptisch, wie der Tag weitergeht. Aber es wurde perfekt! Die Tour guides waren sehr aufmerksam und informativ, der Ablauf war gut geplant, die Zeit auf der Insel betrug 4 Stunden, die Fahrten mit dem relativ kleinen Boot (super:bei uns waren nur 30 Gäste!) dauern etwa 1 Stunde, das Essen war okay, das Schnorcheln hervorragend, die Stimmung toll. Außerdem wurden kostenfrei Aufsitzkayaks und SUPs samt Schwimmwesten angeboten, eine Masseurin war zudem an Bord. Herzlichen Dank an das tolle Team vor Ort! Ein Highlight auf Fiji.
