See full version: An Island-Hopping Guide to Fiji in 10 Days
You can go for an island trek or beach walk, feed the baby turtles in the island’s hatchery, kayak or, if you’re brave enough, challenge the Fijian workers to a game of volleyball. You’ll leave feeling like family. [links]
Ease into your island-hopping adventure with a small and intimate island not too far from the mainland. Bounty Island is roughly 35 minutes by boat from Denarau, but feels far more remote and isolated. Surrounded by white sand and turquoise waters, you’ll feel far away from civilization. Stay one night at Bounty Island Resort, choosing an accommodation option to suit, from budget dormitories to private beachfront bures.
Tavewa Island is one of the most northern islands in the Yasawa group – and the perfect way to spend the final two nights of your island-hopping tour. Make the most of being on Fiji time and enjoy swimming and snorkeling at the Coralview Island Resort Blue Lagoon beach, one of the Yasawas’ best snorkeling spots. Spot the giant clams just 100 meters off the beach!
But don’t stay up late both nights at Vomo – if you are up for an early-morning hike, one day you’ll want to rise early to catch the sunrise from the top of Mount Vomo.
When planning your trip, first find out both the international and domestic airlines' schedules, and try to book all domestic inter-island flights at the same time as your international flights. Do not wait until you arrive in Fiji to take care of this important chore. [links]
People often ask me where they should go and what they should do in Fiji. While I cannot plan their vacations for them, I can in this chapter give some recommendations to help you personalize your own visit to Fiji. The end result will depend on what you want to see and do, how much time you have, and how much money you want to spend.
For a majority of its visitors, especially those from nearby Australia and New Zealand, Fiji is one of those "3-S" tropical destinations -- as in, sun, sea, and sand. For those relaxing diversions, I think you should choose one resort in your price range and stay there for the better part of your vacation.
And remember the travel agent's classic advice: Never stay at the most luxurious property first. Anything after that will seem inferior, and you will likely come home disappointed.
You could spend your entire vacation in Nadi or one of the nearby islands, but you will miss what I consider to be the best parts of Fiji. This is a country of more than 300 gorgeous islands, and -- in order to get a sense of this diversity -- I would try to experience more than one.
