Cocktails can be won at the coconut bowls competition! Tonight enjoy the Captain's Dinner welcoming you into the Blue Lagoon family. Day 2: Tuesday Our destination today is the famed Blue Lagoon. This superb stretch of water is circled by islands, creating a lagoon that is filled with fascinating coral reefs easily seen from the surface of the crystal clear waters. One of those islands, Nanuya Lailai, is home to Blue Lagoon Cruises very own private beach. Watch as the crew position the vessel right up to the beach and tie her off to a coconut tree! Lunch is served on-board, whilst on shore our private 'Fiji style beach club' awaits, along with sun loungers, onshore massage, a bar and beach volleyball. You'll have plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling, fish feeding, viewing coral from the glass bottom boat or just wandering along to a secluded stretch of beach to top up the tan. We'll give a coconut demonstration - how to climb that palm, get the coconut and husk them, then appreciate fresh coconut milk straight from the coconut for afternoon tea. Delicious! Diving for both novices and experienced divers can be pre-booked for this location. There are many awesome dive sites within easy reach (diving is an extra cost). We also offer a number of guided "reef safari" (snorkelling tours) to show you the best spots around the island. Happy hour is served on shore from the beach bar along with canapes. Tonight is a very special night with a traditional Lovo meal. Day 3: Wednesday The azure waters will tempt you to an early morning swim. Dive off the boat, head ashore to the beach or paddle a kayak in the surrounding tranquil waters. Sit down to an a la carte breakfast, cooked to your liking along with the buffet of fresh tropical fruits, yogurts, cereals, fruit juices, tea and coffee. Most of the day is at leisure here at our private beach. Laze around or take part in any of these great Fijian activities. All of the islands activities from yesterday are on offer again today plus a few extra special ones: An easy guided walk along the beach and up over the hill to the other side of the island is offered this morning. The views out across the Blue Lagoon make it well worthwhile. A water taxi whisks you back to the vessel. Basket weaving, A Fijian woodcarver will show you how to carve your own kava bowl.
