Monuriki, one of the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, gained fame as the filming location for the movie "Cast Away." It's a small, uninhabited island characterized by its volcanic rock formations and pristine beaches, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and day trips. Accessibility is limited to boat tours, which are widely available from nearby resorts and towns. Given the island's small size and natural environment, accessibility for individuals with mobility issues may be challenging. While solo visits are possible by arranging private boat charters, most visitors opt for guided tours to ensure safety and navigation. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, but the dry season (May to October) typically offers more favorable weather conditions. The cost of a visit varies depending on the tour operator, but expect to pay around $100-$300 USD per person for a day trip including transportation and activities. A typical visit lasts around 4-6 hours, allowing time for exploring, swimming, and snorkeling. It is advisable to bring your own snorkeling gear, sunscreen, and water.
