Day 2 – Denarau Island

Relax and unwind! This is what Fiji time is all about and Denarau can certainly provide. If you do have itchy feet, however, there is a wide range of day trips you could be doing, such as visiting Navala Village – an authentic Fijian village with traditional-style “bures”. See more suggestions in our Day Trips from Denarau Island or see The Luxury Guide to Denarau Island.

Day 3 – Denarau Island to the Mamanuca Islands

Travel time: 35-45 minutes

It’s time to leave the resort bubble of Denarau and see the real Fiji starting with the 20-something islands peppering the turquoise waters of the Mamanuca Group. Take one of the fast catamaran ferries or private water taxis to your chosen luxury island resort where you’ll have complimentary use of kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling equipment, sailing boats and more to use until your heart’s content. Check out a coconut husking demonstration, learn to weave a Fijian basket or simply enjoy feeling the sand between your toes.

Day 4 – Mamanuca Islands

We’re betting you didn’t have time to do everything on your Mamanuca Islands’ bucket list so far, so now’s your chance to catch up on anything you missed yesterday. Alternatively, why not treat yourself to a scuba diving trip to see why they call Fiji the “Soft Coral Capital”? If you’re a keen surfer, some of the best surf breaks in Fiji are right here in the Mamanucas – see 8 Best Surf Resorts in the Mamanuca Islands for resorts with transport and gear. Or if you want to take it easy, why not take a boat trip to Cloud 9; a floating pizza bar over the Ro Ro Reef? Find out more about Cloud 9 on Viator and Tripadvisor.

Day 5 – Mamanuca Islands to the Yasawa Islands

Travel time: 1h15min-3h45min

This morning, enjoy a scenic catamaran cruise on the Yasawa Flyer (more info on Viator and Tripadvisor) to your chosen luxury resort in the northern Yasawa Islands. It’s a different pace of life here, where resorts are boutique and adult-only ensuring ultimate tranquillity for your deluxe getaway. Special experiences in the Yasawa Islands include swimming with manta rays, available between May and October, as well as boat trips to the Blue Lagoon and the breathtaking Sawa-i-Lau Caves.

Day 6 – Yasawa Islands

You’ll be glad to spend an extra day in these islands of paradise. The Yasawa Islands are not a place you’ll want to leave too quickly when there’s sensational scuba diving to experience, private island picnics to enjoy with your loved one, and the Fijian culture to immerse in. In addition, your resort will be able to organise a kava ceremony, a welcoming ceremony where a narcotic drink called kava is shared between visitors and a village chief. Especially at the Yasawa Island Resort & Spa, you’ll get the chance to try a traditional feast cooked in an underground oven called a lovo.
