Popular Sports Travel | Miscellaneous Sports Travel Tips | All Tips (18) The water around the Yasawa Group Islands is crystal clear and really warm, and the reef is very shallow, thus making for very good snorkelling. I brought my own mask and fins, but they were available for hire on board. I found it really difficult to avoid touching the coral as it was so shallow. I tried to stick to the edge of the reef, but with the current and the excitement of seeing a colourful fish, it wasn't always that easy. Leave a Comment Theme: Beach Activities

The ship has a windsurfing board which they brought asore to this island. When I mentioned to Alan that I would love to have a go, but didn't know how, he offered to teach me. I didn't get on too well initially, but once Alan gave me a few basic tips, I managed to get it moving, at least in one direction. Turning round was more difficult. I did evenutally manage to move to the other side of the board before I fell off. Every time I fell off, I somehow managed to end up under the sail. I couple of times I was hit by the mast too. Eventually I gave up, despite calls of encouragement from fellow passengers. Unfortunately, nobody thought of taking a photograph of me whilest I was actually upright on the board, so you'll ahve to make do with a picture of the beach. Sorry. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

My father and husband decided they wanted to try out the golf course which belonged to the hotel, while my mum and I go for a swim. Apart from a nice walk in the sunshine, I think they enjoyed their little round of golf, even though David ended up in the bunker a couple of times. Never mind. However, my dad wanted to watch David's technique, and decided to stand a little to the side of the tee. David, unfortunately, sliced the ball, and it ended up going straight into my dad's shin. By the time they returned to the hotel, my dad's leg looked like it had half a tennis ball attached to it! Moral of the story? Stay well behind an inexperienced golfer! Leave a Comment Theme: Golfing

Sailing lessons were avaiable, and David really wanted to have a go. I did a week's course in the Isle of Wight, learning to sail, many, many years ago, in fact I even qualified with a Royal Yachting Association's Certificate. However, this was David's big moment. We paid extra for me to be a passenger while he learned. We expected the instructor to stay on the boat with us, but after a few simple directions, he let us out on our own. We sailed off towards Ragent's own private island, did a few nice little turn, and then David delivered his new-found speciality: underwater sailing! Somehow he manage to steer the catemaran downwards, water started to cover the top, we were getting deeper and deeper into the sea. Of course, the bouyancy of the boat means that it did "pop" up to the surface again after a little while, but it was an interesting experience! Leave a Comment Theme: Boating/Sailing

A lot of my time in Fiji was spent in the water with a snorkel! This is a perfect place to do it, as a lot of the coral reefs are close enough to shore that you can just swim out to them from the beach, and they're not so deep that you can't see anything from the surface. It's the perfect free way to pass time! The coral there is so beautiful and I saw loads of marine life while I was in Fiji - including a white-tipped reef shark which was very exciting, although a little scary too as there were people spear fishing nearby!
I have my own snorkel and mask that I took with me, and most of the time I just managed without fins. Nearly everywhere you go will hire out snorkels and masks, however, they may charge up to $10 per day, so whether or not you think it's best to take you're own depends on how often you think you'll be in the sea. Cheap snorkels and masks can generally be found pretty easily in Nadi, so this might be a good option for people wanting to spend a lot of time in the water.
