About Kuata Island
Your Fiji day cruise destination Kuata Island is the closest Yasawa Island to Port Denarau, Nadi. The Yasawa Islands are charactertised by steep volcanic formations with Kuata Island reknowned for it's unique 'Phantom Rock'.
Kuata Island Today
The island was once home to a small local population, clans from the nearby island of Waya Lailai. Legend has it an inter-island dispute over the theft of octopuses resulted in the population of Kuata Island packing up and migrating to the Coral Coast leaving the island uninhabited.
Kuata Island is surrounded by a Marine Sanctuary established in partnership with indigenous Fijian landowners. This relationship is the foundation of Kuata Island Day Cruises' ongoing conservation programme. The result is lush coral gardens perfect for snorkelling and accessible from the beach.
Our elevated Kuata Island Day Cruises day cruise guest area offers stunning views of the Yasawa Islands, this is where lunch is served with easy access to amenities and dive shop.
