BOAT TIMES

Joyce Ward By Jay, Essex, UK Posted 26 Feb 2008

Could someone please let me know the time the boat leaves VV for Labasa on a Monday morning. Just checking flight times before confirming and the plane leaves NADI at 9-30am so that would mean getting the connection from Labasa to Nadi Airport as well.
Thanks Jay

We try to leave (he island about0830 on monday morning, but throw in an isa lei and fiji time into the pot then that is normally about 0900, tend to arrive in labasa anywhere between 0930 and 1000 depending on tides, weather and boat load.

Yeah – that one seems a bit early – unless you had left the island on Saturday… but the boats are generally scheduled around the needs of the people coming to/leaving the island… but if your flight out of Nadi is at 9:30, you’d need a flight out of Labasa at like 6:30… and I’m not sure they fly that early

I think the decision has been made Walt, we will book a later flight rather than leave the island early

Hi, on that note, does someone know what time the boat leaves for VV on Saturdays? Trying to plan a trip too.

Have a great time on VV Joyce!
Thanks…

Yup to all!! The other direction it is pretty much on TW to grab you – as long as the timing is resonable. Usually, the boat tries to leave Labasa around 1 or 2 pm, but if tribies are coming in around 4, then they will wait – same with a bunch of people… the boats really only hold about 10 people (legally) so if there are more than that, we’d send both boats, or send multiple trips… i.e. one boat come back at 12:00 and then another at 4 or 5… so yeah, as long as you can schedule a flight in and out of labasa at decent times, TW will take care of the rest… If can fly in before 16:00 and then out after 0900 (of Labasa) you guys should be set. Katherine I got this reply from Water Flood a tribe member who has been to VV

Just noticed you need the reverse timings, but when you book you put your flight arrival times down and it is my understanding yo could be met at the airport and take it from there. Read under the Voro Voro heading about boat timings too
