Parents will like: The Island Hopping Tour to marvel at the islands in the Mamanuca archipelago, including the stunning Monuriki Island, which became famous as the location for Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks. If you are very lucky, you’ll have the place to yourself.

Toberua Island Resort

Parents will like: The easy access to the resort (only a 30-minute boat ride and short taxi trip away) and the excellent staff, who quickly form a genuine bond with your children.
