Please Note

Itinerary and daily activities are subject to change.

Accommodation options are based on availability – once booked, we will book you in at the appropriate accommodation that is available for your travel dates and you will be sent all official information regarding your accommodation and itinerary.

Meal packages are compulsory and are no longer included in Awesome Adventures packages. Your meal plan (information below) is payable upon arrival.

Day 1: Arrive into Nadi

Book your flight to arrive at Nadi International airport where you will be greeted by the amazing Yasawa Fiji staff.

Hop into the shared transport to your accommodation.

Enjoy your accommodations’ amenities and soak into Fiji time before your vacation begins!

After your first night, you will wake up and enjoy breakfast before you take your transfer to Denarau Marina, the gateway to Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands!

Accommodation: Nadi Resort or Hostel

Day 2: Cruise to the Blue Lagoon Region

Kick off your island hopping journey departing Port Denarau on the Yasawa Flyer. Sit back and enjoy the scenic cruise through the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands as you head to the stunning Blue Lagoon region. On arrival, check into your chosen accommodation — either the lively Blue Lagoon Beach Resort, the chilled-out Boathouse Nanuya, or the peaceful Nanuya Island Resort. Today is all about settling in and soaking up the tropical vibes. Relax on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear water, or explore the island at your own pace.

Accommodation: Blue Lagoon Region

Day 3: Blue Lagoon Region

Wake up in paradise and explore the Blue Lagoon region. Optional activities include visiting the iconic Sawa-I-Lau Caves (not available on Sundays) – a magical limestone cave system filled with natural pools and cultural history. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy — lounge by the beach, enjoy a cocktail, or join optional resort activities. Accommodation remains the same for a second night in the Blue Lagoon region.

Accommodation: Blue Lagoon Region

Day 4: Travel to the Mantaray Region

After a relaxing morning, board the Yasawa Flyer for a midday cruise to the Mantaray Island region. Known for its pristine waters and vibrant marine life, this is one of the most loved stops on the Yasawa route. Check into your accommodation at either Mantaray Island Resort or Barefoot Manta Island Resort. This is island living at its best.

Accommodation: Manta Ray Region

Day 5: Manta Ray Region

If you’re visiting between May and October, you can opt in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience — swimming with manta rays in their natural habitat. These gentle giants glide effortlessly through the channels and snorkelling with them is truly unforgettable.

Other optional add on activities include a guided snorkelling trip, a sunset tube cruise, village visits and Marine Biology talks.

Accommodation: Manta Ray Region

Day 6: Head South to Kuata or Octopus Resort

Enjoy your final morning in the Mantaray region before jumping aboard the Yasawa Flyer in the afternoon and cruising to the southern Yasawas. Check into your next island retreat — either Barefoot Kuata Island Resort, known for its reef shark encounters, or the laid-back and stylish Octopus Resort. Each resort offers something unique, with accommodation options ranging from social dorms to private beachfront bures.

In the afternoon, take advantage of optional add on activities such as night snorkels, mountain hikes, or marine biology tours.

Accommodation: Yasawa Gateway Region

Day 7: Yasawa Gateway & South Sea Island

This morning you can opt in for a thrilling reef shark snorkelling experience (conditions permitting) before transferring to South Sea Island in the afternoon. This tiny gem is the perfect last stop on your island adventure. Whether you stay in a lively dorm or a private beachfront bure, the island’s chilled vibe is the ideal way to wind down your trip. Spend the evening relaxing and soaking up the final tropical sunset of your journey.

Accommodation: Mamanuca Region

Day 8: South Sea Island & Return to Port Denarau

Make the most of your final day in paradise. Enjoy the morning kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, or simply sunbathing on South Sea Island’s sandy shores.

You’ll arrive in time for your included coach transfer to your accomodation for you last night, ending your 9 day Fiji island hopping adventure on a high.

Accommodation: Nadi Resort or Hostel

Things to know

Please print a copy of our e-ticket or have it readily available on your smart phone/tablet, or note down your booking reference number for check-in.

Yasawa Adventures Fiji uses a Day/Month/Year date format in all confirmations / itineraries.

There is a no smoking policy on all Yasawa Adventures Fiji & South Sea Cruises’ coaches and vessels.

The Resorts’ booked through Yasawa Adventures Fiji will provide you with linen, towels, and most provide basic toiletries – some properties may charge a small fee for the use of towels in their dorms. We suggest that you bring your own toiletries and may also wish to bring your own towel as well as sunscreen, insect repellent (with DEET or similar), swimwear, a sunhat, and sunglasses. Light, loose clothing is recommended during the day with something warmer for those cooler evenings. The resorts all have generators with the majority operating 24 hours a day, voltage and power sockets are the same as those used in Australia and New Zealand (220 – 240 volts).

There are no banks in the Mamanuca or Yasawa Islands, so please take a credit/debit card for any incidentals. You will find ATM cash machines at Nadi International Airport, Wailoaloa Bay and at Port Denarau should you wish to take a small amount of cash with you.

Unless otherwise stipulated by the resort you are staying at, we do advise not to drink the water in the rooms/bures as in many cases this is not potable water. However, most of the resorts we book do ensure that the water accessing the kitchen, bar and the restaurant is all filtered to drinking standards. All the resorts will have filtered drinking water available for you to refill your reusable drink bottle.

‘Bula’ is Fijian for ‘Hello’ and ‘Vinaka’ is Fijian for ‘Thank you’ – bring your sense of fun and don’t forget to relax and enjoy this beautiful part of the world!

Sunday is a day of rest in Fiji and the local villages attend church services throughout the Yasawa Islands. This means that some of the activities may not be on offer. You will of course be welcome to join the local church service in the village – an amazing experience!

Made it so easy to book and lovely to speak to - so so helpful. So grateful to Ella (Fiji Specialist)

Julieta Kaur 17/02/2026

I was total newbie to Fiji and didn't get how the island hopping pass worked. Abbie jumped on the phone with me and spoke me through everything. By the end of the call I had paid for my trip and went for an inclusive package so I knew everything was taken care of before I even arrived.

Bella Brady 08/02/2026

Our friends recommended this trip to Fiji and it was amazing. Happy Travels made it super easy

Abbie Wilkinson 05/02/2026

Such a fun backpacking trip! Fiji was always on my radar and I thought it would be so expensive but we stayed in dorms and had the best time. Met people along the way which as a solo traveller is always a priority. Wouldn't change a thing except to spend longer there if I had the time!! Thanks again Happy Travels for an amazing trip

Kees Barber 31/01/2026

I placed an online query in about a trip to Fiji and sort of forgot about it until the team reached out to me and the next day I had a tip to Fiji booked. Incredible service and they were so helpful with explaining everything to me. For someone who knew nothing about Fiji, I now know a lot and feel well prepared for my trip!

Steph Briens 26/01/2026

Fiji is wonderful. Great 9 day package. Recommend 10/10

Simon Coleman 21/01/2026

Did the Yasawa Wonderer package as a solo traveller and loved it! Thanks Happy Travels

Lance Silva 01/01/2026

Booked this trip as part of our honeymoon and it truly made our celebrations! We booked for private upgrade accommodation and spent time on 4 islands! Happy Travels made the experience SO easy to navigate and organised all our ferries and transfers for us - all we had to do was show up. Will book through this team again for sure!

Jessica M 09/12/2025

We spent 9 days in Fiji and honestly couldn’t have planned it better ourselves. All of the activities we wanted like snorkelling a,d cultural nights were included and everything flowed seamlessly. Happy Travels made it so easy.

Lia Mullins 17/10/2025

This was our first time booking through Happy Travels and definitely won’t be the last. Our agent explained everything clearly and the Fiji itinerary was spot on. Can't wait for the snorkelling and diving!

Mark & Ella 05/10/2025

Our Fiji package was exactly what we were after relaxed but still full of experiences. Swimming with manta rays was a highlight we’ll never forget. Highly recommend Happy Travels.

Jess Eggett 25/09/2025

Booked to go to Fiji in August with Abbie, Such a quick and easy way of booking, Abbie helped me and went through everything with me with hostels, ferry transfers activities and put my mind to ease assuring they will be other backpackers doing the same

Hannah Sui 22/09/2025

This package was such good value for money. We got to experience so much of Fiji without feeling rushed. The manta ray snorkel alone was worth it.

Gretchen Meister 06/08/2025

Abbie has been really helpful and responsive while organizing our trip. We are looking forward to our experience in Fiji!

Luna Giontella 24/07/2025

Abbie at the online call center has been amazing!!! She called me just hours after making the request through the website (I did send the request late the night before, so turnaround time was awesome!). She was super helpful and talked me through all the different islands and vibes to make sure I was comfortable with the choices I was making. I couldn’t recommend them enough. I also did some research on costs and Happy Travel is almost the same price as me booking things on my own. I’d definitely rely on them again for a Fiji trip or maybe an Australia trip!

Phil Browne 21/06/2025

The team at happy travels were a pleasure to deal with. Myself and my partner booked the 9 day Fiji package and had such an incredible time. The food was an additional cost but Abbie was great at explaining how it worked and we were blown away by how good the meal package was. 10/10 would highly recommend going to Fiji and booking with Happy Travels.

Sara Clay 18/06/2025

Celebrated my birthday on this trip, and it was magical. The resorts were fab, food was 10/10, beaches were out of this world. Abbie from the online team made the whole booking process so easy and she had me in the best resort for my birthday, snorkelling with reef sharks. Highly recommend!!

Sarah Banks 09/06/2025

Best trip! Fiji was incredible, glad I went with 9 days instead of 7 because I didn't want to leave. I swam with mantarays which was the most amazing experience. Happy Travels made booking a Fiji trip so easy, will be reaching out again for my next trip

Rachel Holmes 06/06/2025

Had a great experience booking my Fiji trip with Abbie. I used the online call centre and she was so helpful - answered all my questions in detail and offered solutions when we wanted to do something slightly different. She was also super patient and accommodating to me and my crazy schedule to arrange calls. Thank you, Abbie!

Emily & Jake Thompson 30/05/2025

Absolutely incredible! From the moment we landed, everything was seamless. The island-hopping was a dream, I would go back to every island if I could. Snorkelling with manta rays was a highlight. Highly recommend this package!

lily sparkes 27/05/2025

Hanna Jones 15/05/2025

So glad I called Happy Travels to book - it was so hard to find correct information about travelling Fiji online but Abbie was so helpful, had all the information we needed about how the ferries work and what the hotels and islands offer. We ended up going with her recommendations and had an amazing time.

Stacie French 06/05/2025

Have genuinely had the best experience with happy travels so easy! As my first time solo traveling has taken allot of anxiety and guess work out and made this seamless!

Jack Benick 02/05/2025

Great time, easy to book. Would spend more time in Fiji next time.

Rosa Harrex 06/04/2025

Abbie in the online call centre helped me plan my Fiji trip. She planned it perfectly, to my budget and around the activities I wanted to do.

Abbie was a huge help with organizing my trip.

Edward Nice 06/03/2025

Catarina Ferreira 06/01/2025

Just wanted to give a big shoutout to Abbie — she’s been absolutely amazing! So kind and patient with all the questions we threw her way, always super friendly and quick to respond.

8. Inclusive Packages

Our packages are great for those that prefer a more independent experience – these are self-guided packages that let the traveller explore at their own pace. Packages visit different regions within the Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands (Blue Lagoon region, Manta Ray region, Yasawa Gateway region and Mamanuca Islands). As the resorts within these regions are small (which is part of the attraction of visiting these islands) there is limited availability, therefore we use at least 2 resorts in most regions to try to accommodate all guests.

On nights where our itineraries show more than one hotel listed within a region, the Yasawa Adventures reservations office will confirm the client’s itinerary based on the availability of the resorts and room types at the time of receiving the booking. While we try to accommodate requests for specific resorts/hotels, these are not guaranteed and will be subject to availability at the time of booking. All activities provided will be based on the activities provided at the hotel confirmed in the final itinerary and may be substituted for an alternative activity should they not be available or operational upon client’s arrival at the resort.

You will be given all the necessary documents/vouchers including the Yasawa Adventures Pack (Yasawa Adventures sulu, drink bottle, and dry bag) if this is included in your selected package, at Port Denarau on the first morning of your island trip.

14. Visa Requirements

It is the responsibility of all customers travelling with Yasawa Adventures Fiji to check and adhere to Fiji’s visa requirements.

15. Travel Insurance

There are very limited medical facilities in the Yasawa Islands so if any medical problem arises you will likely need to return to Nadi. If this problem develops into a serious medical issue, you will most likely want to leave Fiji for Australia or New Zealand, or home. There is also a higher degree of risk in public areas, on local vessels, etc. Sea conditions and sometimes cyclones can prevent travel on the booked dates. It is therefore, an essential condition of travelling with Yasawa Adventures Fiji that you have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the cost of any emergency medical treatment and/or evacuation plus insurance cover for cancelled and/or delayed travel expenses incurred due to cancelled or delayed services as the result of weather events or unforeseen operational issues.

Which island is my perfect match?

It’s a true luxury to have to choose between paradises! Will you opt for an island known for its party atmosphere or a resort renowned for cocktails and massages? You might go for a tiny palm-fringed speck of an island or one that is majestic, rugged, and wild. Some resorts have calm, shallow waters on white-sand beaches while others have deep channels just off their shores where manta rays glide by between May and October.

Whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed! Remember, you can always book a Package, which includes a fantastic range of resorts and islands meaning you’ll experience more than one.

Here’s a VERY brief rundown on some standout features, but most island resorts offer something for everyone.

Close to Port Denarau, lots of entertainment & water sports
South Sea Island in the Mamanuca Islands is a great option. This tiny island iscute as a button but overflowing with activities.

Romantic escapism
You can find your own secret pocket of paradise at Blue Lagoon Beach Resort, Octopus Resort, Coconut Beach Resort, or Paradise Cove Resort.

Every night is a Friday
If you want a more social atmosphere, we recommend Mantaray Island Resort or try South Sea Island which offers a range of evening entertainment, including limbo nights if you want to get your dance on!

Action stations!
If you want to get the adrenalin pumping Barefoot Kuata Resort is the go-to place for snorkeling with reef sharks or go all out and do the intro dive with Bull Sharks. Mantaray Island Resort and Barefoot Kuata Island Resort are home to the famous manta ray (May – Oct), which is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Blue Lagoon Beach Resort and Oarsman’s Bay Lodge are at the centre of the Blue Lagoon region which is the gateway to the Sawa-I-Lau Caves and some pretty fabulous snorkelling.

Insta-Worthy Spots
Want to get the best insta shots to make all your mates at home really jealous? The summit hikes Blue Lagoon Beach Resort (best at sunrise), Barefoot Kuata Island Resort (best at sunset) and Mantaray Island Resort (best at sunrise) should not be missed. The Sawa-I-Lau caves are definitely worth the trip as well as a walk over the hill from Nanuya Boathouse to Lo’s Tea House for some great island and lagoon shots.

If activities are your key in choosing where to go, visit our activities page. Under each activity description, you’ll see which resorts offer the experiences you’re after.

Why would I book a Yasawa Pass?

If you prefer to “go with the flow” and select the resorts and islands you’d like to stay at as you travel then a Yasawa Pass is perfect. These pre-paid passes allow you to choose the number of days/nights you’d like to travel in the Yasawa’s and then you can choose the level of accommodation to suit your budget/needs, dorm, standard bure, or upgrade bure. Of course, if you’re the organised type, then you can still buy a Pass and pre-book everything before you arrive in Fiji to ensure you get to stay at the resorts you prefer!

Do I need to take out travel insurance?

Yes. It is an essential condition of travelling with Yasawa Adventures Fiji that you have valid travel insurance.

There are no medical facilities in the Yasawa Islands so if any medical problem arises you will need to return to Nadi. Sea and weather conditions can sometimes prevent travel on your booked dates as well.

World Nomads travel insurance policies offer coverage for more than 150 activities. Get a quote, make a claim, or buy or extend your policy while on the road.

We endorse the recommendation of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that all travellers take out travel insurance. If you already have Travel Insurance please understand that it is your responsibility to ensure that your Travel Insurance covers you for all of the adventure style travel you have booked with us.

Are there any cultural practices I need to be aware of?

Yes – culture is very important in the islands, so we ask you to respect a few practices upon entering any village.

No hats or sunglasses are to be worn (please do take these with you as it can get hot, but please take care to remove them from your head when in the village).
Ladies are required to have shoulders and knees covered, a sulu (sarong) is a great option to wear when visiting the village.

Please note that the above requests apply to villages, not resorts. Wearing swimwear, hats, sunglasses etc is completely acceptable at island resorts.

Are Yasawa Adventure packages escorted tours?

No way! We don’t do escorted tours – all our packages and passes are based on individual self guided travel – we have put together suggested itineraries (packages) to save you time working out all the logistics. You may of course meet up with other travellers doing the same package so are likely to see people at the various resorts you will be staying at. Of course, if you need to get ahold of us, we have a customer services team waiting for your call in Port Denarau or on the Yasawa Flyer.

When I book a Yasawa Adventure am I automatically booked on the Yasawa Flyer?

Yes, all our experiences INCLUDE Yasawa Flyer transfers to your island resort/s.

However, please note that you must reconfirm your booking 24 hours prior to departure.

How do I arrange transfers between my mainland accommodation and Port Denarau?

If you are staying overnight on the mainland before you travel to the Yasawa Islands, we offer complimentary coach transfer from select Nadi, Wailoaloa, and Denarau hotels/resorts to Port Denarau.

We are very happy to collect you from your accommodation on the first day of your Awesome Adventure Fiji package for the transfer to Port Denarau. If you don’t book your accommodation through us, you will need to advise us of where you are staying. If you don’t advise us, getting to Port Denarau on time is your responsibility and at your own cost. We also provide a courtesy coach drop-off back to most resorts in the Nadi, Wailoaloa, and Denarau areas: just let us know where you are staying.

At the end of an Awesome Adventures Fiji package, upon return to Port Denarau we’re still there to help out! We have a coach departing at 6.15pm to drop guests off at Nadi International Airport and select hotels and resorts. This service is complimentary to Awesome Adventures Fiji passengers.

Coach Transfer Timetable

Can I begin my Yasawa Adventure on the same day that I fly into Nadi?

The majority of our experiences depart on the Yasawa Flyer at 8:45am. For these departures, you are required to be at Port Denarau for check-in by 8:15 am. So unless you have a very early flight, we recommend you arrive the day prior and stay the night in Nadi or Denarau using one of our Arrival Packs:
Aquarius on the Beach
Smugglers Cove
The Palms Denararu

A few of our packages travel to the closer Mamanuca Islands first so if you are booking one of these packages, you can depart Port Denarau early morning, midday or mid-afternoon.

What are the island resorts like?

Most of the resorts in the Yasawa Islands source the majority of their staff from the surrounding local villages and islands. Just about every resort is beachfront, with coral lagoons on the doorstep. The resorts range in style from mid-level resorts to modern properties with a higher standard of accommodation and amenities. This accommodates for travellers with different tastes and budgets. One thing all these resorts have in common is they are all set in stunning locations.

The resorts we offer have a range of room types from simple dorms through to beachfront luxury bures which means they cater for a very wide range of budgets.

Note: The resorts are not owned by Awesome Adventures Fiji and standards vary from property to property. We do monitor the resorts and have our staff visiting regularly to ensure everything is as it should be. Some of the properties run on power generators therefore, the voltage supplied might not be as strong and some devices may not operate effectively.

The following applies for all the resorts:

Resort-style properties
Modern with a high standard of accommodation and amenities
Meals are not included in the nightly rate; instead, you buy a daily meal plan either when booking or at check-in
Meals can include multiple courses with a varied selection of local and international dishes
All include free drinking water

What's the difference between a Dorm and a Bure?

Dorm’s (or Dormitories) are great for social travellers on a budget – these range from Dorm rooms with just 4 beds through to 32 beds and are a mixture of unisex or single-sex. You will, of course, be sharing your sleeping space and bathrooms with other travellers but it’s a great way to keep the cost down and meet new people.

Bures (Fijian word for Bungalow) are your own private Room or Bure, most of which include a private en suite – these do cost a bit more but this gives you your own private space.

Can I eat at places other than my resort?

Eating at the resort you’re staying at is your only choice – there are no restaurants around the corner.

What do I do if I have dietary requirements?

Please advise any dietary requirements at the time of booking and please also reiterate these directly to each resort on arrival/check-in. Please remember that these island resorts are remote and their access to a wide range of foods is somewhat limited by deliveries and availability, but the resorts will accommodate the best they can.
