Make your own way to the Barefoot Shark Encounters booth located inside on the right when entering the Port Denarau Cruise Terminal. Check-in by 8.15am at the latest.

Embark on a remarkable journey with Awesome Adventures Fiji aboard a high-speed catamaran. Departing from Denarau Marina, you'll cruise through the stunning Mamanuca Islands and onward to the gateway of the Yasawa Islands—your destination for the day, the breathtaking Kuata Island.

Arrival at Kuata Island
A brief orientation will follow, introducing you to the island’s layout, available facilities, and the schedule of activities—both complimentary and optional—designed to make your day unforgettable.

Snorkeling with Reef Sharks
At either 11:00 AM or 2:00 PM, your adventure begins as you depart Kuata Island for Moira Reef, home to a resident population of graceful Black Tip and White Tip Reef Sharks. After a comprehensive safety briefing, you’ll enter their underwater world. These majestic creatures are non-aggressive and truly awe-inspiring, often likened to the "poodles" of the shark world.

Guided by our expert team, this extraordinary experience will transform your perception of sharks. Our marine science experts are also on hand to share fascinating insights into their behavior and habitat. After the snorkel, you’ll return to Kuata Island for a well-deserved lunch.

Lunch and Afternoon Activities
Savor a delicious buffet lunch served from 12:00 PM at our island bar and restaurant. Afterward, enjoy a variety of activities, or simply relax and soak in the idyllic surroundings. Options include:

• Snorkeling off the beach
• Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding
• Exploring walking trails
• Lounging by one of five pools with a cocktail in hand

For those seeking more adventure, additional paid activities are available, including reef dives, a village visit, a shell market, cave tours, or traditional weaving classes.
