Blue Lagoon Cruises

by grets

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...

Hire car has expensive accident excess

by alicemaude

hire car was great, but the locals do drive a bit reckless and therefor there was an expensive accident excess, lucky for us we did not have an accident but there was one or two close shaves (small logs falling off the back of a truck, a driver almost backing into us in a hotel car park), the main road is okey but the other roads were in poor condition, we did't try the bus so cannot coment.

How to get around....

by mashed_NZ

Taxi's - easy to get anywhere. Very cheap and negotiable. Not the nicest, but they do they job. Friendly drivers and quite helpful.Buses - I've never taken one of these. Seems more like the locals transport. The Denarau Bula Bus is very good to get around Denarau Island and its FREE !Ferries - To/From the islands. Not the cheapest. But you don't have much of a choice. Still a nice trip out there if you're in no rush.Airplane - Cheaper than the ferry and much quicker. Also, you get a great view of all the smaller islands. Definately my preferred method now.

The 'Yellow Boat'

by dancinbudgie

We used 'Awesome Adventures' to book our transfer from Malolo Island to Port Denarau. The boat is known as the Yasawa Flyer or simply the 'Yellow Boat'. The trip took about an hour. The 'Flyer' was clean and comfortable. Toilet facilities were well maintained. Snacks and drinks are available on board, as well as information on all of their other available tours. Staff were courteous.The actual boarding of the 'Flyer' was a bit of fun for us...it was pelting down with rain and we had to get from the jetty at Malolo to the Flyer on a smaller boat. This had an awning over the top, but the sides were open.Everyone got wet, except the people from Likuliku who had been provided with raincoats...I guess those are the perks when you pay Likuliku prices!!The cost of the trip was around $45

Pacific Island Seaplanes

by dancinbudgie

If at all possible I highly recomend taking a seaplane flight from Nadi to your island destination. The views are absolutely spectacular, providing a perspective that is not possible from a boat. It also of course, makes transfer time very fast...we were on our island within 15 minutes of leaving the airport. The check-in staff are very helpful and kind, they organised to have our wedding album (it was catching up to us from our previous destination but missed the flight), to be flown over to us on the next flight free of charge even though our island was not a scheduled stop for that flight. They also have a sense of humor, on hearing of my fear of planes I got laughter, and the coment "you'll only land in the water anyway" (OK if your not also afraid of fish!).The pilot was a Canadian who looked like a schoolboy, but he assured me he was much older than he appeared and an experienced...

Kayaking

by dancinbudgie

One of the most enjoyable ways to explore your little area of Fiji is to Kayak. Most of the resorts offer free use of them, for the duration of your stay. It is not difficult at all, and is OK for all fitness levels. Use a life jacket if your swimming skills are poor, (although they are very stable), or simply don't go out too deep...the waters are so clear that you will see an amazing aray of fascinating and beautiful sea-life without having to go far from shore anyway. This was the case at both Crusoes Retreat (Coral Coast), and Malolo Island (Mamanucca Group), where we stayed.The photos here are just a small sample of the sea-life that you will find only a few metres from shore if you sit quietly in your kayak.

Taxis are cheap

by marina999uk

I had to get from Suva right across to the other end of Fiji island and it cost an absolute pittance. You have to share with others, but that's fun, and the driver will stop when you ask for pee stops or a drink!

Going by bus

by globetrotter06

Buses run regularly around Viti Levu. It's cheap and quite fun way to travel around. Often the turn on loud music or screen a film during the ride. The buses stop everywhere as long as you tell them or wave along the road. Nadi-Suva costs around 11 FJD and takes 4 hours.

The Yasawa Flyer

by sunshinejo

This is THE way for backpackers and other budget travellers to get to and between the Yasawa Islands and the mainland. And to be honest, it's a pretty good service, and it's very well run. They offer a variety of packages to get you around the Yasawas during your stay, including all inclusive deals taking you to set islands and set accomodation; 7, 14 or 21 day unlimited island hopping passes; one-way tickets between the mainland and a single island; and accomodation passes so that you don't have to carry too much cash. There is a boat that you can stay on if you fancy a cruise style holiday, and they also offer diving packages. Basically, the options are endless! This is the only company I came across that doesn't operate on Fiji time, so you need to make sure that you're outside you're hotel on time or you'll miss your free transfer to the ferry terminal! Most hotels in the Nadi area...

Ferry to Ovalau

by eenelfje

To get to Ovalau by ferry buy a ticket at Patterson Shipping Company at Nina Street in Suva.If you take the express bus of 08.00 am in Nadi, you will be in Suva at 11.30am. Then you have enough time to go to the office of Patterson Shipping company and buy a ticket for the ferry. It is a combined ticket for the bus-ferry-bus costs FJD 19.The bus (light brown/dark brown) leaves at 14.00 pm (be there at 13.30pm) from the busstation in Suva (at the end where you see the big mango tree).The busride to the very takes approx. 2 hrs and is a nice ride. The ferry to Ovalau is approx. 45 minutes. When you come off the ferry a bus is already waiting to bring you to Levuka. A very nice busride from approx. 1,5 hrs. Arrival at Levuka approx. 18.30 hrs. So its possible to go from Nadi to Levuka on Ovalau on one day. Its a bit of a travel but a very nice day of travelling, you get to see so much of...
