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 used within Fiji 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. 

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)

There is a travel desk on board the vessels, where you can book your transfers and or accommodation for your Pass or add to your trip as you travel. Credit/Debit cards are accepted.

Confirmations are subject to availability.

Close to Port Denarau, lots of entertainment & water sports
The Mamanuca Islands are a great option. These islands are tiny and cute as a button but overflowing with activities. Try South Sea Island or Beachcomber Island Resort. 

Romantic escapism 
You can find your own secret pocket of paradise at Blue Lagoon Beach Resort, Octopus Resort, Coconut Beach Resort, or Paradise Cove Resort.

Every night is a Friday 
If you want a more social atmosphere, we recommend Mantaray Island Resort or try South Sea Island which offers a range of evening entertainment, including limbo nights if you want to get your dance on!

Action stations! 
If you want to get the adrenalin pumping Barefoot Kuata Resort is the go-to place for snorkeling with reef sharks or go all out and do the intro dive with Bull Sharks. Mantaray Island Resort is the home to the famous manta rays (May - Oct), which is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Blue Lagoon Beach Resort and Oarsman's Bay Lodge are at the centre of the Blue Lagoon region which is the gateway to the Sawa-I-Lau Caves and some pretty fabulous snorkelling. 

Insta-Worthy Spots
Want to get the best insta shots to make all your mates at home really jealous? The summit hike at both Barefoot Kuata Resort (best at sunset) and Mantaray Island Resort (best at sunrise) should not be missed. The Sawa-I-Lau caves are definitely worth the trip as well as a walk over the hill from Nanuya Boathouse to Lo's Tea House for some great island and lagoon shots. 

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. 

The 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 their friendly staff who will direct you to board your vessel and will arrange the transportation of your luggage

Yes, they sell a range of food and drink (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic) onboard the Yasawa Flyer. Personal alcohol cannot be consumed on the vessel. Choose to upgrade to the Captain's Lounge (on the Yasawa Flyer only) and get a selection of complimentary snacks and drinks as well as a seat in an air-conditioned private lounge on the upper deck
