The Mamanuca & Yasawa Islands

Leave Nadi and head straight into the Mamanucas. Surf, snorkel or dive as soon as you arrive, then find a quiet island for the evening.

Follow the conditions rather than the itinerary. Surf one of Fiji’s famous breaks, dive the reef, fish offshore or claim a sandbar for the afternoon.

Cruise north into the Yasawas as the islands grow higher and wilder. Snorkel with manta rays when the season allows, then head ashore to meet a local community.

Keep heading north through narrow channels and volcanic islands. Hike ashore, dive the reef and spend the afternoon moving between yacht, tender and beach.

Swim into Sawa-i-Lau’s limestone caves and the chambers hidden beneath the island. Back outside, explore the surrounding reefs and bays by tender.

Make the last full day count. Dive, fish, paddleboard and take the toys out before a beach barbecue beneath the Pacific sky.

Get in an early swim before beginning the run south. Watch the Yasawas disappear behind you as the yacht turns for Nadi.
