Planning a day in Beqa Island?
The crowd calendar shows every ship and how busy the port is, hour by hour, plus the quietest and busiest days for the next 90 days.
Where is the Beqa Island cruise port?
There is no cruise port on Beqa. Ships anchor off the island, which lies about 10 km south of Viti Levu inside Beqa Lagoon, and passengers go ashore by tender to a beach, as there is no pier.
The walk from the beach to the village used for cultural visits can take about 20 to 25 minutes on an uneven, rough dirt path, so it may not suit guests with walking difficulties. The island has no roads, taxis or public transport. Check landing details with the ship.
