Sail Into Paradise On Fiji’s Islands

Tropical, exotic and brimming with island life, you can’t imagine how breathtakingly beautiful Fiji really is until you get there and begin exploring. Home to some of the most gorgeous islands on the planet, there are plenty of ways to while away the hours in such a paradise destination.

Fiji’s islands are a great variety of sizes; Bounty, Treasure, Mana, Malolo, Castaway, Plantation, Octopus, Botaira and Robinson Crusoe Islands all have a resort to make your base and go off exploring, while islands like South Sea, Beachcomber, Tivua, Schooner and Savala are much smaller, and ones that you’d take a boat to for a half or full-day trip. They also have their own characters; Monuriki Island was chosen as Tom Hanks’ temporary home in Castaway, and Schooner is a deserted private island for that little bit of a tailor-made touch. One thing they do all have in common is that they’re all surrounded by creamy, soft sand that leads down to the clear, turquoise waters of the South Pacific Ocean. As a result, you’re spoilt for choice for relaxation and locations to take a refreshing dip.

Anyone that wants to head further out to the ocean with a snorkel and a pair of flippers would be foolish not to choose the surrounding waters of South Sea or Treasure Islands. The water is so clean that you can spot underwater activity from many metres away, and the deeper water is home to even more colourful fish and coral reefs. It’s also gloriously warm, so you can spend hours watching the sea life around you in comfort.

If you’d prefer to relax and soak up island life, the aptly-named Robinson Crusoe Island provides opportunities to learn Melanesian dance, how to climb coconut trees, how to crack a coconut and how to fish. There’s also a chance to explore the inland treasures on a jungle bush walk, so you can take on the character that the island is named after.

How about a full day sailing around many of Fiji’s islands? You can appreciate the location and formation of the islands on a cruise, with the option to jump straight off the boat to swim and snorkel in the waters below with your fellow sailors. Lunch may be a buffet on an island or a BBQ on the boat, complete with fish, chicken, beer, wine and bubbles!

Each one as beautiful as the next, Fiji’s islands beg you to hop on a boat and go in search of discovery. Whether you’re looking for snorkelling spots or a patch of sand to make your own for a few hours, find your ideal trip at HotFiji.deals.
