The boat departs Port Denarau on Day 1 at 8.45 am and returns to the same spot on day 5 at approx 6 pm.

Nadi (NAN) airport is the best airport for your international flights.

We have all ages booking Awesome Adventures Fiji from solo to couples and groups of friends.

Most singles will book the dorm style package as it is more social and you will meet people!

All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity).

Contact your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent.
 

It is your own responsibility to have the correct travel documentation. Visa requirements for your trip will vary depending on where you are from and where you are going.

Yes. It is an essential condition of travelling with Awesome Adventures Fiji that you have valid travel insurance.

There are no medical facilities in the Yasawa Islands so if any medical problem arises you will need to return to Nadi. Sea and weather conditions can sometimes prevent travel on your booked dates as well.

Fiji has beautiful weather all year round, with a very warm, tropical climate. The rainy season is from November to the end of March, but don't let this 'dampen' your spirits as the wet season is usually made up of plenty of sunshine, with only one or two sudden downpours a day. This means you can still enjoy your beach holiday!

The currency is the Fijian dollar.

There are no banks in the Yasawa Islands so you'll need to plan ahead! The bank at Nadi International Airport is open 24 hours and cash machines are available at Nadi Airport, in Nadi town, Wailoaloa Beach and at Port Denarau.

A number of resorts in the Yasawa Islands do no accept cash so a credit/debit card is a must but it is still advisable to have some cash with you.

The electric current is 240 volts. Fiji has three-pin power outlets, which are identical to Australia and New Zealand.

Resorts in the islands have generators, so you'll have electricity from sunset to midnight and generally for the first part of the morning, however operating times can vary so please check with your resorts. 

Throughout the majority of the Mamanuca Islands and much of the Yasawa Islands there is 3G coverage so yes, most of the time your mobile phone will work but it is sometimes intermittant. 

Yes - culture is very important in the islands, so we ask you to respect a few practices upon entering any village.

1. No hats or sunglasses are to be worn (please do take these with you as it can get hot, but please take care to remove them from your head when in the village).
2. Ladies are required to have shoulders and knees covered, a sulu (sarong) is a great option to wear when visiting the village.

Please note that the above requests apply to villages, not resorts. Wearing swimwear, hats, sunglasses etc is completely acceptable at island resorts. 

Yes, mosquitos are buzzing around, but that's what you get in a tropical place! Most resorts have mosquito nets over the beds or the windows have screens, but we always recommend you cover up and bring along some insect repellent containing DEET and apply it regularly, especially in the evenings.

Our main check-in counter is situated at the passenger terminal at Port Denarau, a large building on the waterfront, which leads out to the marina. Taxi and coach services can take you directly to the terminal. Upon entry to the terminal, you'll see the South Sea Cruises & Awesome Adventures Fiji check-in desk and be greeted by our friendly staff who will direct you to board your vessel and will arrange the transportation of your luggage.

If your last day of your Awesome Adventure is spent in the Yasawa Islands, then you will not arrive back at Port Denarau until 6pm. We recommend you stay the night in Nadi or Denarau.

Dorm’s (or Dormitories) are great for social travellers on a budget – these range from Dorm rooms with just 4 beds through to 32 beds and are a mixture of unisex or single-sex.  You will, of course, be sharing your sleeping space and bathrooms with other travellers but it’s a great way to keep the cost down and meet new people. 

Bures (Fijian word for Bungalow) are your own private Room or Bure, most of which include a private en suite – these do cost a bit more but this gives you your own private space.

Yes, this is subject to availability. Please email support@backpackerdeals.com to discuss.

Most of the resorts in the Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands are quite small and capacity is limited. Where we specify particular resorts, chances are, you will stay at that resort. BUT ... on occasion, they may be full for the dates that you want to stay there.

The replacement resort that we offer you, will be of a similar standard to the original and you'll have just as good a time. Occasionally we may even have to swap the order of the nights around or put you on a different island but in all cases we’ll provide you with a similar experience.

The baggage allowance is the same as most airlines. We carry the baggage at the rear of the vessel. There's limited space, so to be fair to everyone there's a limit to how much you can bring on board

- One carry-on bag which can weigh up to 7kg (15lbs)

- A standard item - usually a bag - weighs up to 25kg (50lb)
