Awesome Adventures Fiji Tropical Island Explorer

There are some activities in the Yasawa Islands that are must dos – so Awesome Adventures Fiji have packaged them together in their Full Monty Add On Package, allowing you to pre book and save on heaps of awesome Fiji adventures!

These include;

SEASPRAY DAY SAILING ADVENTURE

A special day aboard ‘Seaspray’ sailing amongst the outer Mamanuca Islands. Enjoy the crystal clear waters for snorkelling and swimming, a traditional Fijian village visit and Kava ceremony (except Sunday). Visit the island featured in the Tom Hanks movie ‘Cast Away’. All booze, morning/afternoon tea and a barbecue lunch is included. It’s a stunner.

SAWA-I-LAU CAVES TRIP

The boat trip up to the caves is worth doing for its own sake but then there’s the magical experience of the caves themselves. No diving is required to enter the main cavern as it’s just a few easy steps. We recommend you take the option to enter the secondary cavern where you need to swim through an underwater tunnel. See your resort for details.

REEF SNORKELLING / SWIM WITH THE SHARKS (OR NOT!) TRIP

Moua Reef is only a short boat ride from the white sandy beaches of Kuata and Waya Lailai Islands. A spectacular site from above and below the water with an abundance of colourful fish and beautiful corals. This outer reef is also home to some “friendly” Reef Sharks that you can snorkel with – gets the adrenalin pumping but they eat fish not people so no need to worry! Your local guides hand feed the sharks creating awesome underwater photo opportunities.

FIJIAN COOKING SCHOOL

Learn how to cook some traditional Fijian dishes by actually preparing the meal yourself and then of course the best part – getting to eat it along with your fellow chefs!

FIJIAN VILLAGE VISIT

Life in the Yasawas is village based. All Fijians are strongly rooted to their culture, land and their mataqali (family). You cannot however just wander into a village and must be accompanied by a person from there. Being able to visit one of these villages is a special experience sharing and learning about this different world to that of modern city life. Your guide will teach you basic protocols and accompany you around the village. It is a very relaxed tour and you’ll be able to wander freely, meeting the villagers and children as they go about their daily life. The Ratu (or Chief) may even welcome you.

GUIDED SUMMIT WALK TO AMAZING ISLAND

PEAKS One of the more strenuous excursions on offer but definitely worth it. The southern Yasawas boasts rugged volcanic peaks with summits providing magnificent views over the surrounding islands and ocean. The best time to be there is sunrise or sunset (it’s also cooler for the climb!).

GUIDED KAYAKING TRIP

A number of the islands offer guided kayaking trips which venture away from the resort, ensuring you experience the very best spots. The guide knows the best route to take, the best snorkelling spots over a reef, the loveliest beaches and be able to tell you of life in the Yasawas as you go.

SWIM WITH THE MANTA RAYS (May to October)

One of the most amazing experiences the natural world has to offer. These magnificent, majestic creatures come to this particular channel between two islands each day on the change of tide to feed. No photograph will prepare you for that first sighting of them. The mantas don’t seem to mind swimmers so there’s a good chance your encounter will be a lengthy one as they turn and glide in the waters beneath you, huge mouths open as they feed on the plankton.

SUNSET (TUBE) CRUISE

A bit of fun under the sun! Chill out, cool drink in hand and mates floating along the water (in a tube or boat) and watching the sunset. What a great way to end the day in Fiji!

ISLAND MASSAGE

Now this is a must! You’re in Fiji in relaxation-mode so you just have to treat yourself to a luxurious island massage and relax that little bit more. Duration: 30 minutes (approx.)

HAND-LINE FISHING TRIP

Meet locals and other villagers out in their fishing boats. Experience throwing over a hand-line, laughing and joking with the crew and if you catch a fish, it’s a bonus!

BUILDING FISH HOUSES

Work with our dive team and marine biologists to construct fish houses on the beach to place in the shallows of our house reef for fish to nest ans spawn.

BONUS OFFER

All guests choosing the Full Monty option of their package get an Awesome Adventures Fiji SULU or CAP and a ‘MAI YASAWA’ SOUVENIR BOOK – a magnificent 80 page photo book. The Full Monty option is only available on 1 and 2 Coconut grade packages.

Travel must commence no later than 12 months after purchase and meal prices valid at time of travel to be paid direct to resort.

POWER & REPELLENT
Properties have generators, so you’ll have electricity from sunset ‘til midnight and generally for the first part of the morning, however, operating times can vary so please check with your resort. The local power socket is the same as for Australia and New Zealand. In most properties either the beds have mosquito nets or the windows have screens but we always recommend bringing along insect repellent!

SUNDAYS
Sunday is a day of rest and church going in the Yasawas. This means that conducted activities are not on offer however you are free to do activities on your own. In most villages you will be welcome to join the church service – an amazing experience. When travelling on a Full Monty package your activities will be organized around this.

MONEY MATTERS
Credit cards and travellers cheques can be now be used on most islands but it is still advisable to have some cash with you. If you’re on an Awesome Adventures Fiji package between FJ$40-$60 cash per day should be enough. For those passengers using the ‘Bula Pass’ and paying as they go, accommodation prices in the 1 and 2 Coconut properties are between FJ$105-$158 per night for a dorm and FJ$131-$200+ per person per night for a share twin/double bure (including 3 meals). Be sure to check whether meals are included in your choices.

NO BANKS IN THE ISLANDS
