Cloud 9 Fiji is a very unique and creative experience, and definitely something different from a typical beach bar or resort activity. The idea of building a floating bar in the middle of the ocean is impressive in itself, and getting there by boat already makes it feel special and memorable.
Once onboard, the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. You can swim in the clear ocean water, jump into the sea directly from the platform, or simply sit back with a drink and enjoy the surrounding views. They also serve pizza, drinks, and alcohol, which makes it easy to spend a few hours just unwinding and socializing. The music and overall vibe are fun without being too overwhelming, and it’s a nice place to meet people or just enjoy the open sea.
That said, I personally felt that the experience might be slightly longer than necessary. Since it is a relatively small floating bar with limited activities, after a few hours it can start to feel repetitive. I think reducing the time by about one hour would make the experience feel more compact and enjoyable, especially for guests who prefer variety.
Overall, Cloud 9 is still a very enjoyable and novel experience, worth visiting at least once while in Fiji, particularly if you enjoy ocean views, casual drinks, and a relaxed island vibe.
