South Sea Cats Launches New Mana Island Stop & ‘Ride and Slide’ From July 1

Industry NewsSouth Sea Cats - Fiji catamaran service

The South Sea Cats is set to make Fiji inter-island island journeys even more exciting. The South Sea Cats vessels, cruising daily between Port Denarau and the Mamanuca Islands, now feature two standout updates: a fresh stop at Mana Island Resort on Route 10 and the introduction of ‘Ride and Slide’ snorkelling trips for the ultimate fun on the water. 

Extension to Route 10: Now Stopping at Mana Island Resort

Starting July 1, South Sea Cats will add Mana Island Resort as a new stop on its popular Route 10. This means travellers can now disembark at Mana Island Resort between 7:30 and 7:45 pm, making it easier than ever to reach one of the Mamanuca Islands’ most iconic stays. With this addition, South Sea Cat now connects a total of eight resorts across the Mamanucas.

The Route 10 service runs in the early evening, offering a relaxed journey aboard the spacious catamaran. The vessel accommodates up to 36 guests and glides across the water at a comfortable 22 knots, ensuring both speed and stability for a seamless transfer experience.

Product Launch: Ride and Slide AM & PM

For those seeking more than just a transfer, South Sea Cats introduces the all-new Ride and Slide experiences—available in both AM and PM formats, beginning July 1.

South Sea Cats: Ride and Slide AM

Kickstart your morning with a 2.5-hour snorkelling adventure in the crystal-clear waters of the Mamanuca reefs. Guests board a custom-designed, purpose-built high-speed South Sea Cats catamaran for a fast, comfortable ride to pristine snorkelling spots. All snorkelling gear is provided on board, and the fun starts as soon as you arrive. Choose to enter the water via the easy-access ladder or take the plunge down the giant inflatable slide from the catamaran’s roof.

Pro tip: For maximum enjoyment, wear your swimwear before boarding as changing space is limited, and bring a towel, hat, and reef-safe sunscreen.

Ride and Slide PM

Prefer to explore in the afternoon? The Ride and Slide PM trip sets off after lunch for a 4.5-hour adventure to the Malolo Island group. Enjoy extended time in the water, slide straight off the boat’s rooftop, and discover vibrant coral colonies at a leisurely pace.

Both AM and PM trips include a host of amenities and thoughtful extras for guests. With these exciting additions, South Sea Cats continue to set the standard for fun, flexible, and memorable Fiji island experiences. Whether holidaymakers are after a smooth resort transfer or hours of aquatic adventure, there’s never been a better time to hop aboard.
