Multi-tasking is your friend. Throw one captain over the river, to the buried Yellow Pikmin, and throw another into the main body of water, having him pluck the Blue Pikmin here. This is the ideal starting gambit.
Kill the water skiers quickly. These chaps are irritating if you let them live.
Remember to harvest enemies as you off them. You don't want to accidently leave them behind later in the day.
Focus all efforts on the main area (the area with the buried White Pikmin and lots of Gold stacks) first with all Pikmin, with the aim to 'move out' to the underwater spoils and part buried fruit as the challenge rolls on.
Remember to try and leave one captain on Onion duty, rounding up idle Pikmin and bringing them back into the workzone from time to time.
