Expect 2 hours each way on a ferry to the site and back. The shops at the port were closed when we left and when we returned, so no chance to shop at Port Denarau, despite being therefor an hour before leaving. A couple of the cafes were open, if you wanted breakfast. We absolutely saw sharks and they were (safely) swimming around us. It was amazing. The tour guides were great and very flexible. Our younger daughter was a little scared to get in but she was fine on the boat and eventually we were able to convince herto get in and then she had a great time. Parton her fear was that the equipment she was given disnt fit her well - the mask was way too big and her fins disnt fit either. She ended up leaving the fins on the boat and made do with a mask that was uncomfortably too big. She is a small 11 yr old. Had i known, i wouldve brought her gear from home with us. Lunch was delicious and offered a variety of foods. After lunch, we were given the option to snorkel the beach or movies some items for sale by the local women. We had more than enough time to do both - we snorkeled foran hour and saw baby sharks among the beach coral. After doing both of these things, we still had an hour at the dive center/bar. As we had kids with us and weren't drinking, it was kind of a long hour waiting for the ferry. We felt the post lunch time could have been better scheduled or organized.
