Departing from Port Denarau, your first stop is the breathtaking Mana Sand Bar — a remote stretch of white sand surrounded by turquoise waters in the heart of the Mamanuca Islands.Here, you’ll enjoy a guided snorkeling session just off the reef, where you can spot vibrant tropical fish and colorful corals in crystal-clear shallows. There’s also plenty of time for a relaxing swim or to capture stunning photos of this surreal and iconic location — known for its beauty and as a filming site for US Survivor.After your swim, you’ll be welcomed back on board with a light morning tea, featuring freshly made banana cake, prepared in our village and brought along for the day.

Guests can swim, snorkel, or for the adventurous, take part in our signature splash competition by jumping off the boat! Whether you’re belly-flopping with friends or gliding into the water for a peaceful snorkel, Monu Cove offers something for everyone.The reef here is teeming with marine life, and the deeper water makes it a favorite for confident swimmers and free divers.

Served beneath the shade of our handmade bures, lunch includes chicken, smoked eggplant, root vegetables, rourou, tropical fruit, and our famous miti (coconut) sauce — all prepared with love by our family.After lunch, enjoy a calm swim or join a guided tour of the island, an easy walk across mostly flat ground with stories of local heritage and village life.
