Alternatively, spend the whole day at a resort on Beachcomber or South Sea Island, where you can take part in water sports, tuck into a beachside barbecue lunch, and watch traditional Fijian dance performances.

Peak tourist season is June and July, when it’s best to book tours and accommodation in advance. The summer months (November to April) have the hottest weather and the most rainfall.Lazing about in the sun is one of the best ways to enjoy the Mamanucas, and they offer plenty of opportunities, from the tiny, uninhabited Monuriki, which was featured in the movie Cast Away, to Bounty Island where Survivor: Fiji was filmed. There are ample opportunities for snorkeling and water sports at the islands’ many resorts, with popular activities including kayaking, jet-skiing, waterskiing, and banana boat rides. More adventurous type can try wakeboarding or parasailing, go scuba diving at famous dive sites known as Gotham City and the Supermarket, or try surfing around the southern islands. If you prefer calmer activities, try the islands of Tokoriki and Navini, which offer great walks, good native bird-watching and decent game fishing.You can reach the Mamanuca Islands from mainland Fiji by hopping on a ferry, water taxi, or boat transfer from Port Denarau; you could also take a seaplane from Nadi Airport.

An archipelago of volcanic islands to Fiji’s west, the Yasawas can be challenging to get to—but the journey’s worth it if you’re looking for a more laid-back, budget-friendly escape than their better-known neighbor. Until the 1980s, the islands were relatively undeveloped, resulting in a traditional village feel and a rich island culture.

Yasawa Islands

Then, kick back on the beach under a palm tree, or make your way to one of the villages for a dance performance, traditional ceremony, or some Fijian eats.<ul><li>Tours to the islands are typically part of a multi-day cruise package, though it’s possible to book transportation and accommodation on your own.</li><li>Water and other beverages are pricey on the Yasawas—take your own to save money.</li></ul>Most visitors to the Yasawa Islands get there on the Yasawa Flyer (aka the “yellow boat”) from Port Denarau Marina in Fiji.
