Information

Did you know? Fiji has 333 islands - on this trip, you will spend time on 2 of them!

Two equally beautiful resorts await you in the stunningly remote Yasawa Islands. Despite feeling a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, these islands are surprisingly easy to access.

Over the course of 6 days and 5 nights, we will experience once-in-a-lifetime animal encounters, world class snorkeling, stunning sunsets, real moments with children at the school and locals at the villages, endless moments of fun and just the right amount of downtime.

It's a journey that will change you, in all the best ways.

Note: the October 2026 trip is a women's only retreat.

Day 1 - Welcome to Paradise

Day 1 - Welcome to Paradise image

Whether you catch a red-eye flight into Nadi and transfer directly to the marina or arrive into Fiji a day or two early, today we will meet bright and early at Port Denarau to begin our journey out to the Yasawa's together.

We will take a scenic 2-hour ferry ride through this idyllic part of Fiji, before arriving to our first island. Welcomed with the most jaw dropping show.

As soon as your feet touch the island sand your travels will be forgotten, as we take today slow and melt into island time with restorative activities.

Prepare for an amazing sunset experience, before the best sleep of our life, listening to the ocean lap the shore from your beach front bure.

Day 2 - Overcoming Fears

Day 2 - Overcoming Fears image

Wake up feeling refreshed from a blissful night sleep, before optional gentle movement session to start the day.

Today, we're conquering our fears and taking on what this island is best known for - it's shark experiences. Included in our itinerary is the reef shark snorkel, where we take a 5-minute boat ride from the island to a stunning reef system known for it's peaceful reef sharks, sometimes referred to as the Ferrari's of the ocean as they are so beautiful to look at.

Return for a delicious lunch barefoot in the sand, before making our way over to the school. Here, we will meet the local children, see their way of life, hear about a wonderful initiative and donate some essential items which bring so much joy to the families. A heart warming experience that really puts life into perspective.

Integrated into today is an array of wellness activities and much welcomed down time - plus another epic sunset from a different secret location.

Sadly our time on Kuata has come to an end, but not before a final must-do activity and a refreshing tropical breakfast.

Day 4 - Magical Moments

Day 4 - Magical Moments image

Enjoy waking up in paradise at your own pace as today, we kick it back a notch.

Picture reading a book in a hammock, enjoying non-motorised water sports, taking part in cultural activities and of course my own designed wellness activities.

This island is famous for it's Manta Ray sightings at this time of year and with any luck over the next few days, we'll hear the beat of drums, telling us to grab our snorkel gear and get ready to swim with these gentle giants - a truly magical experience.

After lunch, we will visit a nearby village, home to most of the staff on the island. We will be welcomed with a traditional Fijian ceremony and have the option to buy hand crafted goods from the ladies markets. Profits of our visit will go towards helping the village, as does any souvenirs you choose to buy from the locals.

Tonight, we will meet at the resorts 'sunset bar' for live music, dancing and a competitive game of coconut bowling on the beach.

Day 5 - Time to Reflect

Day 5 - Time to Reflect image

Begin today with a gentle hike that takes you to the top of the island, with 360 degree views of the world around you. Breathe in the fresh air and take a moment to reflect on everything you've seen, learnt and experienced over the last few days.

After breakfast get ready to hop aboard the resorts boat. Today, we have our own captain and the chance to curate our own snorkel adventure depending on the mood.

Return relaxed and sun kissed - ready for our final night. Tonight, we'll have an extra special dinner and show - bringing to an end what has been a life changing few days in Fiji.

Day 6 - Farewell

Day 6 - Farewell image

Today, we sadly say goobye.

The first time I visited these islands, I was told I would cry when leaving, and it's true every time I visit.

Pretty pictures can't begin to describe what you experience when here.

The warmth offered by the locals.

The feeling after donating supplies to the children and seeing the looks on their faces.

The kindness of those in the village, willing to give so much, despite how little they have to offer.

The feeling of strength and accomplishment after jumping in the water next to sharks.

The admiration for Mother Earth after witnessing the majestic beauty of the giant manta rays as they glide by.

The fresh air, stunning scenery, and the ability to truly take in each sunrise and sunset.

Moving our bodies, taking time to breathe, making new connections, and simply laughing and having fun.

It might just sound like an itinerary full of different adventures, but each experience and encounter will change you for the better, which is why we incorporated it.

So, believe me when I say you will most likely shed a happy tear like I do every time I visit, before hopping on a final ferry back to Port Denerau, arriving around lunchtime, just in time for afternoon flights back home.

Note: Activities and experiences are subject to change due to weather and availability. If a change has to occur, we will do our best to find another suitable time or substitute for something of equal value.
