9 Day Fiji Itinerary, incl. Nadi and Yasawa Islands
A 9-day island-hopping adventure connects 4 distinct locations: Nadi, Beachcomber Island, and the Yasawa Islands' Barefoot Kuata and Manta resorts. The package includes 8 nights' accommodation, all meals on islands, and South Sea Cruises transfers from Port Denarau.
- Day 1
Nadi Arrival & Adjustment
Arrive at Nadi International Airport and head to Smugglers Cove Resort. Try to book a morning arrival to avoid common afternoon thunderstorms, especially during wet season from November to April. Take this day to rest and pick up necessities like reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes.
- Days 2-3
Beachcomber Island
Get picked up at 7:00 AM for your South Sea Cruises transfer to Beachcomber Island, about 30 minutes from Port Denarau. You'll love the unique circular island with beaches all around. The best snorkeling is off the western side before lunch when the water is calm. Make sure to catch the sunset at Beach Bar.
- Days 4-5
Barefoot Kuata, Yasawa Islands
Take a 2.5-hour boat ride to Barefoot Kuata where volcanic peaks create a stunning backdrop. Join the morning reef snorkel to explore the extensive house reef where you'll often spot sea turtles. If you're feeling brave, try the shark dive for an extra fee.
- Days 6-7
Barefoot Manta
A quick one-hour cruise takes you north to Barefoot Manta. One guest shared: "Getting up at 6 AM for manta ray snorkeling was absolutely worth it - we saw three massive mantas gliding right beneath us in crystal clear water." Book your manta snorkel early as spots fill up fast in peak season from May to October. Take motion sickness pills if needed since the channels can get rough.
- Day 8
Return to Nadi
Leave around 2:15 PM after a final morning swim. The 3.5-hour journey back to Port Denarau gives you time to relax with a book. Once you're back at Smugglers Cove you can visit the Nadi handicraft market which stays open until 6 PM.
- Day 9
Departure
Head to Nadi Airport in the morning. If you have a later flight the resort will store your bags while you enjoy one last swim in their pool.
- Day 1
Nadi to Coral Coast
You'll get a traditional flower lei welcome at Nadi International Airport. The 1.5-hour drive to the Coral Coast along Queens Road is best done in the morning so you can enjoy a full afternoon at your resort. Consider exchanging money at the airport's Western Union for better rates than your resort.
- Days 2-3
Coral Coast
The Coral Coast offers excellent snorkeling right offshore. Get in the water before 10 AM when visibility is best and before the trade winds pick up. Visit Sigatoka Valley on your second day to experience local culture in Fiji's "salad bowl" region. The UNESCO-listed sand dunes reach 60 meters high. Bring sturdy shoes since the sand gets very hot by midday.
- Day 4
Coral Coast to Matamanoa Island
The boat ride from Port Denarau to Matamanoa takes about 90 minutes. Sit on the right side for the best views of the Mamanuca Islands. Bring motion sickness tablets if needed since afternoon rides can get rough. Plan your morning transfer carefully since the last boat usually leaves at 3 PM.
- Days 5-7
Matamanoa Island
This adults-only island has just one resort so you'll always find plenty of beach space. The house reef is perfect for snorkeling, especially at high tide when you can float above the coral. Check tide charts at reception. The best dive sites, Supermarket and Gotham City, are just 20 minutes away by boat. Book water activities early in case of weather cancellations. Take the 45-minute round-trip hike to the island's summit early in the morning before it gets too hot. You'll need proper walking shoes for the steep sections but the island views make it worthwhile.
- Day 8
Return to Nadi
Take the morning boat back to make afternoon flights from Nadi. Get to the airport at least 3 hours before international flights since check-in can be slow.
8 Days in Fiji, incl. Mamanucas and Yasawa Islands
The 8-day maritime adventure visits 6 key destinations including Denarau Island, Sawa-i-Lau, and the famous Blue Lagoon. Guests spend 7 nights aboard the Fiji Princess, stopping at traditional villages like Tamasua and Soso. Activities include cave explorations, manta ray snorkeling, and authentic cultural experiences.
- Day 1
Denarau Island to Modriki
Leave Port Denarau in the afternoon to avoid morning harbor traffic. The 2-hour cruise to Modriki Island is perfect for dolphin watching. Sit on the port side for the best views. If you get seasick, bring motion sickness tablets as the inter-island waters can be rough.
- Day 2
Soso Bay Adventures
Spend your morning at Modriki Island, known as the "Cast Away" filming location, before taking a 3-hour cruise to Soso Bay. Go shark swimming between 10 AM-2 PM when the water is clearest. Remember to bring a sulu (sarong) for village visits to cover your knees and shoulders.
- Days 3-4
Naukacuvu and Waya Island
Naukacuvu has some of the best snorkeling spots in Fiji. Pack reef-safe sunscreen since regular sunscreen isn't allowed near the coral. Waya Island's volcanic peaks make stunning photos, especially in the early morning before clouds appear.
- Day 5
Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is as beautiful as its name suggests. A recent visitor shared: "The snorkeling at Blue Lagoon was incredible - we saw more fish varieties in one spot than anywhere else in Fiji. Go early morning when the water is calmest and clearest."
- Day 6
Sawa-i-Lau Caves
At Sawa-i-Lau, you'll swim through dark limestone caves. Bring water shoes with good grip since the rocks get slippery. In the afternoon, visit Tamasua village for a traditional kava ceremony. You can take a small sip if you're not sure about drinking kava.
- Day 7
Drawaqa Island
Visit between May and October to swim with manta rays. The best time is 10 AM-2 PM when they're feeding on plankton. Bring an underwater camera if you have one. The water visibility usually reaches 15-20 meters.
- Day 8
Return to Denarau
Your return trip passes through both island groups for final photos. Plan to arrive in Denarau late afternoon to avoid traffic if you're going to Nadi Airport. Consider staying a few extra days on Matamanoa Island. It's quieter than the main islands with great beaches.
