Stretching for some 90km, the volcanic Yasawa Islands group has a well-earned reputation for its beautiful white sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and rugged landscape. North of the
Mamanucas, and about 40km north-west of
Viti Levu, the
Yasawa Islands are home to Blue Lagoon cave and beach, immortalised in the movie
Blue Lagoon. The The Yasawa Islands are dry and sunny, and their many beaches, cliffs, bays and reefs have remained unspoiled. There are roughly 20 islands in the group, including Waya Island, with its steep hills and lovely lagoons;
Nanuya Lailai, where you'll find the famous Blue Lagoon Beach, and the peaceful
Yaqeta Island.
The crystal clear waters and spectacular reefs of the Yasawa Islands offer great diving, with drop-offs, caves and brilliant corals to explore. Other
things to do in the Yasawa Islands include hiking, kayaking safaris, snorkelling, sailing, cruises and village visits. The remote Yasawa Islands are sparsely populated and have little in the way of services or shops, although shell markets are held at the villages during cruise ship arrivals. Backpacker and budget guesthouses are the main style of
accommodation, but there are exclusive resorts at Turtle and Yasawa Islands. The Yasawa Islands are accessed daily from Port
Denarau and
Lautoka by fast catamaran, or seaplane from
Nadi.
