The Top Island-Hopping Tours in Fiji
We bet you didn’t come to Fiji just to stay on the main island! Get out and discover the idyllic islands, authentic culture and mind-blowing underwater world that make up the outer islands of Fiji. A great way to check out multiple islands is on island-hopping cruises. Both day tours and multi-day tours are available, many taking travellers from the convenient arrival city of Nadi or the nearby Denarau to the island groups of the Mamanuca Islands and the Yasawa Islands. Check out some of our recommended island-hopping cruises in Fiji in the list below!
