Fiji’s Yasawa Islands with Emma Hanney

Our adventure begins with a scenic ferry ride from Denarau, gliding across the pristine waters of the South Pacific towards our idyllic island. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the welcoming staff and the serene atmosphere of this eco-friendly resort, nestled between white sandy beaches and coral-rich waters. The resort itself is a laid-back haven, featuring rustic yet comfortable beachfront bures, open-air dining areas, and hammocks strung between palm trees, perfect for unwinding in paradise.

After settling in, your afternoon adventure takes you into the vibrant waters surrounding the island, known for some of the best snorkelling in Fiji. You’ll dive into the crystal-clear sea, where you’ll swim alongside tropical fish, vibrant coral reefs, and possibly even manta rays. The underwater world teems with life, offering an unforgettable glimpse into the colourful marine ecosystem.

As the day winds down, you’ll return to the resort for a relaxed evening. Enjoy a delicious dinner featuring fresh, local ingredients while watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the island.

Depending on the weather, we may be up early to set off on a sunrise hike. The panoramic views from the viewpoint are nothing short of breathtaking – the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean shimmering below and the islands dotting the horizon bathed in a golden glow. It’s a peaceful and invigorating start, with the quiet stillness of nature all around you, making the hike as rewarding for the soul as it is for the body. This is also something we can do at sunset!

After breakfast, the day’s aquatic adventure awaits. Depending on which activity the group experienced the previous day, you’ll either embark on a thrilling snorkel with the graceful manta rays or dive into the vibrant coral reefs once more.

The afternoon is yours to relax and reflect, perhaps lounging by the beach or the resort’s open-air lounge, taking in the sunset.

After the dive, the afternoon is yours to relax and reflect on the morning’s adventure. Lounge on the pristine beaches, cool off with a swim in the turquoise waters, or share stories of your shark encounter with fellow travellers.

Sadly today is our final day. We’ll enjoy breakfast together and relive our magical week before boarding a ferry back to Denarau.

The resort crew will be just as sad to see you go as you will be to be leaving, but remember – instead of a formal goodbye, “sota tale” means “see you later’ because we have no doubt you’ll be counting the days before you return to beautiful Fiji!

After hopping off the ferry, a transfer will be arranged for the next part of your journey, whether that is going to a hotel or to the airport.
