MalaMala Island

  • February 20, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by M53 from Hamilton, Bermuda
I visited this Island many, many times. My memories go very deep as I fell heavily in love with one of the Island guys who worked on MalaMala at the time. I stayed in Fiji 3 months on and off. I called Andrew my Sea God. We both stayed on MalaMala for the night together...just the two of us. What memories. Fantastic memories! The boys work hard to keep us happy for the day. The Islands of Fiji are very beautiful. The snorkeling is great. You get taken back to Nadi with them singing happy songs. A great day out. Can thorough recommend it. Marilyn

Day trip to Malamala Island

Day trip to Malamala Island

Though the Sheraton Fiji was self-sufficient in every way, it did not have snorkeling. Through the friendly activities coordinator, we booked a day trip to the uninhabited Malamala Island. I had wanted to go on a tour to Castaway Island (tour booked out) or the Yasawa. But my partner (and many others like him), were influenced by the 'all-inclusive' and the short 1 hour trip to get to the island. The 'all inclusive' included all food, drinks, activities, equipment.

Don't be put off by the rather small boat that takes you from Denarau to the island. It is only a 1 hour trip and is not uncomfortable. The crew sing Fijian songs till you get to the island.

The island itself is like you'd find on a picture postcard. The sea is of brilliant colours in shades of blue. As first time snorkelers, we were very jumpy. Other than the two of us, everyone went snorkeling off by themselves. The instructor was very friendly and patient and guided us along the marvelous corals.

To say it is a different world down there is a cliche, but the likes of it could never be equaled in any aquarium. Apart from the corals, we saw fishes of all colours, starfishes, sea cucumbers and many other creatures.

The lunch itself was quite adequate and they had all sorts of non-vegetarian food. Even for us vegetarians, there were lots of fruits, salads, and other options.

There was also fishing and beach volleyball for those interested. After snorkeling, we were content to just sleep under the shade on the white beach. There were other people who did nothing but eat and drink all their time there!

Good experience in all - as with all other places in Fiji, just don't forget your hat, sunglasses and sunscreen; you will certainly need them.
