Worth planning for if you're staying outside Nadi, especially on the 1 PM trip. All times depend on road traffic, and in heavy weather the boat leg can run up to 30 minutes longer.

Staying on the Coral Coast? The 9 AM trip gets you back by around 5 PM, so you're not travelling late.

Private boats are welcome — no landing fee, no admission charge. Come aboard and pay only for what you eat and drink. Seaplane and jet ski arrivals are just as welcome.

Commercial operators carrying paying passengers need prior approval — get in touch to arrange it.

• Minimum age 10 — Cloud 9 is a licensed bar and restaurant
