From Mainland to Plantation Island Resort – A freight ticket can be bought from Malolo Cat counter staff at Denarau marina when you check in. Your surfboard/windsurfer will be freighted on the same Malolo Cat that you are travelling on and will be delivered to reception at Plantation Island upon arrival.
From Plantation Island Resort to Mainland – Malolo Cat staff will arrange for a suitable taxi or van to transfer you or your boards to any Nadi Hotel or the Airport. This service is free of charge if you are holding a normal personal transfer Malolo Cat ticket or voucher and a surfboard/windsurfer freight ticket.
Note: Guests returning by air to Nadi who wish to send their boards by Malolo Cat will have to pay for the taxi/van charge to the airport or Nadi hotel of their choice plus the freight charge.
Private Water Taxi
Book a water taxi for an on demand 24 hour private boat transfer. This service is best suited for groups wanting a more personalised transfer service, and those wanting to travel to the island outside of the standard ferry operating times. We recommend Sea Fiji or Mamanuca Express. The water taxi departs from Denarau Marina so you will need to make your own way by taxi from Nadi airport.
