Wanderlands Fiji - 8 Days

Your group leader will be at the airport waiting for you and to check you in to our accommodation in Nadi. The rest of the days is yours to explore, relax by the pool and to sink into the relaxed Fijian way of life. Later that night we go for welcome dinner and drinks where you will meet the rest of your Wanderlands Fiji family.

An early start today as we are heading south to the Coral Coast, where we are going to spend the next two days at the famous Beachouse Resort. As soon as we arrive we will get ready for the first activity of the day - an epic boat trip to explore Vatulele and Yanuca Islands and enjoy some snorkelling, kayaking and a delicious beach BBQ!

Back at our resort, we get the chance to do a sunset yoga class to find our zen in paradise. When night time comes, we sit round the bonfire with the locals for a few songs with the guitar and try the local drink kava from a hollowed out coconut shell.

The Coral Coast of Fiji is a perfect place to learn and practice your paddleboarding skills in a sheltered area. If you would prefer, you can team up and hop in a double kayak and share the fun. After a delicious lunch, we then get our comfortable trainers on for a little bush trek to Novala Falls; this waterfall is sure to cool you off after the trek through the jungle. At night we get another chance to see the incredible sunset and some drinks.

Cruising “business class” with air-con, unlimited drinks and snacks included, while checking out some of the most beautiful islands on the way to our next destination and if we are lucky, see some sea turtles or manta rays swimming around us as we travel. We check in to our epic resort at lunchtime then it’s a short walk to the restaurant for some delicious food. Once our bellies have been satisfied it's time to head out for some kayaking, paddleboarding or you can get yourself a sunbed to work on your tan.

Today we really get a chance to get an insight into Fijian living. Firstly, we visit some natural limestone caves and will get to explore and learn how they came to be. We also visit a local village and immerse ourselves in their culture. We will learn some traditional crafts, play football or volleyball with some of the children and interact with the elders of the village, who will talk about the day to day lives of the Fijians and teach us how they farm and harvest their food.

The exploring doesn’t stop as we head to Waya Island, which has some of the best snorkel points in the world! With over 1,000 species of fish and mammals in the surrounding waters you’ll soon see why. Once we arrive and get all checked in it's time for the sunset boat trip. We explore some exciting spots that only the locals know about. You will be relaxing with an ice cold drink in hand, floating around the crystal clear waters of Fiji, with a beautiful sunset backdrop. As if it couldn't get any better, back on dry land we will have a delicous dinner accompanied with traditional Kava and a string band playing some Fijian tunes for us! For after dinner entertainment you can try out crab racing!

Rise and Shine on island time with our second day on Waya Island, we will start it off with trying our craft skills by doing Voivoi weaving, which is a traditional Fijian weaving. You can also go and check out the craft market. Next it's time for snorkeling. The island has amazing snorkle spots, where you can try to see some nemos and other beautfiul marine life. Once we are on dry land you can have some free time to chill or try your hand at Sulu tying which is the traditional Fijian clothing. This evening is our last one together as we enjoy a farewell dinner with a local dance and then we party in style with the rest of the groupies to celebrate having just had the best trip of your life!

Time to say goodbye to your group and to swap those awesome pictures. For those of you who will continue your travels in Fiji, your group leader will be on hand to provide info on the best islands to visit and help book your transport and any other activities such as scuba diving. For those who need to leave Fiji, your leader will be able to organise for you the transport to the main island to catch your flight.
