Popular Transportation | Miscellaneous Transportation Tips | All Tips (50) The Yasawa flyer is a boat ran by Awsome Adventures. If you are going out to one of the islands chances are you will ride it. The trick is to get your monies worth. Most trips cost at $F40 oneway. So if you plan to stay in the islands and hop around a BULA PASS may be the way to go. It costs 199$F for 7 days or 265 for 21 days. The boat is really nice with and air conditioned cabin and sun deck. Oh yeah, this may not sound important but they sell ice cream on the boat! You stay on the islands for 3 weeks and you will be looking for ice cream too! It takes about 5 hours from Nadi to the furthest point, but it is an enjoyable ride. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 | |  |  | Blue Lagoon Cruises | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
This is an extract from my journal: We have a drink in the pool bar while we wait for the Blue Lagoon pickup. There seems to be an awful lot of time wasting today, I suppose we haven't mastered the "chill-out" yet, after rushing around New Zealand. From our hotel we call in the airport, where we wait for 40 minutes for someone to arrive on an international flight, then another 1 hr 40 minutes wait at the dock before boarding. We get carried away with the cocktails in the bar while we wait, and with the merchandise in the shop. The staff put on a fashion show, and give us a lovely introductory chat about the cruise. It is a short bus journey to the wharf to board the Yasawa Princess. We realise that we are upgraded to a club cruise at this stage, no-one has said anything! There are 20 cabins on board, all with windows out towards the deck, double bed, wardrobe and a dressing table, as well as a shower / toilet. We took a four day, three night cruise, which took us along the Yasawa Island Group in the western division. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/BoatWebsite: http://bluelagooncruises.image-centre.com/

Travel around Fiji is a bit like a rollercoaster ride, the roads are bumpy and full of potholes. The cheapest way to get around is by bus also known as rattlers. These are buses with no windows and sound like they could blow up at anytime, but they are an experience to have. Rattlers run to most towns and villages around Fiji, and you wont have to wait more than 15 minutes for one to pick you up. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Many people have asked about the specifics of the Bula Pass so I thought I should create a tip about it. The Bula pass can be bought for 7 or 21 days. It is good for as much travel in the Yasawas as you can fit in. Here are the specifics and rules: 1.) The boat is the Yasawa flier, it leaves form the marina in Denarau just outside Nadi at 9am every morning and returns at 6pm . 2)You may NOTtravel from Nadi to Beachcomber. But you may travel from another island to Beachcomber. 3) You may Not travel from Beahcomber to Nadi. But you may travel from Beachcomber to another island. 4) The site asys that youi must make reservations for each leg of you journey. This is just Not true. From the tiny resorts just get in the water taxi out to the Flyer and tell them where you want to go. No problem. 5) You can only leave the Marina 1 time with the pass, once you are back to the marina your pass is invalid. I hope this helps clear things up. The web site is really confusing.

There are several options to get from Nadi to Suva. You can go buy taxi. Or by local bus. When you go buy bus you can choose two options. The Coral Sun Express bus is an airconditioned coachbus. A good bus. This bus must be booked in advance. If you stay at Nadi Bay Hotel they pick up from that hotel in the morning. FJD 19. The Pacific Express. Is a local bus. Just buy your ticket at the departure stand. FJD 18. The busride to Suva is a nice ride. And is 3,5 hrs. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

We met the van and driver at the Nadi airport, drove to Lautoka Hotel in Lautoka. There we picked up more people, then we were taken out to the pier to get on the boat that took us to Waya Lailai eco Haven. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

I did about 11 flights with Air Fiji. I found the airline a breath of fresh air. And there is just something funny about getting into a plane that looks like Cheech and Chongs van! No redtape no hassel. You tell the ticket agent where you want to go they write a ticket and you go...or if you change your mind they are really flexible. You can change times, destinations, passengers anything you like...and if they give you problems have a local call and talk in fijian they just cant help but comply. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
