Today we took a boat trip out to Castaway Island, one of the islands in the Mamanuca island group. The trip called in at several islands on the way so we got to see most of the islands in this group. The nearest and most popular day trip is South Sea Island.
From there we stopped at Bounty Island, famous as the setting for the UK TV show Celebrity Love Island...
The next two islands were very close together, Beachcomber Island is more of a backpacker's island.
Whilst Treasure Island is more family orientated and famous for its coral reef just off the beach.
The next stop was Mana Island, one of the largest islands in the group. Along with a few beach resorts there is also a Fijian village with locals living here.
Finally we reached Castaway Island where we transported in on little motorised boats to a warm welcome from the singing staff.
Unfortunately the tide was out for the majority of the day so we couldn't go snorkling but managed to wade out to see some sea creatures including this fantastic clam.
And this weird creature, no idea what it is! We also got to see a reef shark, only a small one (couple of feet long) fortunately.
After 5 hours on the island it was time to head back to Denarau, a great day out exploring the island and seeing other islands in the group.
