Itinerary
Day 1 Bula! Welcome to the Yasawa Islands
Our adventure kicks off with a scenic ferry journey from Denarau, cruising across the sparkling waters of the South Pacific towards our picture-perfect island destination. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the resort’s friendly staff and the peaceful ambiance of this eco-friendly haven, nestled between soft white sands and vibrant coral reefs. The resort is a relaxed escape, featuring rustic yet cozy beachfront bures, open-air dining areas, and hammocks swaying between palm trees—ideal for slipping into island time.
After settling in, your afternoon unfolds with an exciting snorkel adventure in the island’s renowned waters, celebrated as some of Fiji’s finest. You’ll plunge into crystal-clear depths, swimming among tropical fish, vivid coral gardens, and perhaps even gliding alongside graceful manta rays. The underwater scene is alive with color and movement, offering a breathtaking glimpse into Fiji’s lush marine ecosystem.
As evening approaches, return to the resort for a laid-back night. Savor a fresh, locally-inspired dinner while the sun sets, casting a warm, golden light over the island—a perfect close to an unforgettable first day in paradise.
Included Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2 Manta / Reef Snorkel, Coral Planting
On Day 2, you’ll wake up to the calming sounds of the waves and the gentle glow of sunlight dancing on the ocean. After a relaxed breakfast of fresh tropical fruits and local favorites, you’ll dive into the day’s adventure.
Begin with a thrilling snorkel excursion, either in search of the island’s majestic manta rays or exploring the vibrant coral reefs nearby. If the manta rays are around, you’ll have the chance to swim alongside these graceful giants, an awe-inspiring experience you won’t forget. If not, the reef offers its own wonders, teeming with life—tropical fish weaving through coral gardens, brilliant sea anemones, and perhaps a glimpse of a shy sea turtle or two.
In the afternoon, immerse yourself in marine conservation with a visit to the island’s Marine Centre. Here, you’ll discover the crucial work underway to protect the local ecosystem, including coral restoration efforts. Guided by marine biologists, you’ll even take part in coral planting, a hands-on experience that allows you to contribute to preserving the vibrant underwater world. This meaningful activity connects you to the island’s natural beauty and environmental importance in a lasting way.
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3 Sunrise Hike, Manta / Reef Snorkel
If the weather is favorable, we’ll start the day with an early sunrise hike. At the viewpoint, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean glimmering below, dotted with islands aglow in the golden morning light. It’s a peaceful and energizing way to begin the day, with the serene quiet of nature surrounding you – nourishing both body and soul. This is also a perfect sunset activity!
After breakfast, we’ll dive into the day’s aquatic adventure. Based on what the group explored the previous day, you’ll either set out to snorkel with graceful manta rays or revisit the vibrant coral reefs for another magical experience.
The afternoon is all yours for unwinding and reflection – whether that means lounging by the beach or relaxing in the resort’s open-air lounge to watch the colors of the setting sun.
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
