Pronounced "thung-gulie", a 14 acre coral island (off the east coast of mainland) which you can walk around in just 20 minutes. A small selection of beach huts - from around £20pppn - are all a stone's throw from the sea. Perfect location for snorkelling/diving and if you're really lucky (like us!), a Humpback whale or two might just swim past the island.

All meals (incl. in price, plus an afternoon cuppa!) served in the communal dining room - also right by the water's edge.

Island run by members of the Methodist Church of Fiji, some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

Marlins are so far the only agency on Morro who are undertaking trips out to see the humpback whales that pass by the coast from July onwards.

They are working with marine biologists who are observing the whales and charting their course past the island. The trip is new so they do need to improve slightly, but they welcome feedback and they are trying to do it properly by using the rules about watching whales - how close you can get and for how long you can stay with one animal etc.

There is a fantastic bay, the beach is about 2kms long. Mainly in August and September - but sometimes as early as June and July - southern Right Whales (Balaia Franca) visit the bay with their babies.

We were lucky enough to see two adults and a baby in the bay over the course of two days. They are easy to spot from the beach as they are so close, so no need for a rough ride out to sea to watch them frolickling around.

A newly established British-run ground operator in tourism.

We went on their glass bottom boat out to the Islands off Muscat for snorkelling.

It was awesome. The sea was so clear, there were dolphins everywhere and whales too.

The staff were really friendly and professional, and we even got snacks as we sailed!!!!

Perfect day on the Arabian Ocean.
