What’s one place you’d take every visitor to in Fiji, and why?
My passion is snorkelling and some of the best places in Fiji is in the Mamanuca and Yasawa group of islands.
Another place is Fulaga island in Lau and it is amazing too.
Fulaga island in Lau.
It is a social hub, I can always find someone I know to chat to and the coffee and cakes are great.
One of our Captain Cook Cruises first general manager bought the first coffee they had ever made and the memorial cup he framed was on display behind the machine.
What’s one Fiji spot on the top of your bucket list?
I did the first cruise to the Lau group of islands over five years ago.
I would love to go back and see how the product has developed.
It always receives rave reviews and the dive team will have now found the best snorkelling spots.
I am currently in Australia and hope to be able to fly over for the departure cruise to Lau on March 16.
