9 Day Fiji Itinerary, incl. Nadi and Yasawa Islands
A 9-day island-hopping adventure connects 4 distinct locations: Nadi, Beachcomber Island, and the Yasawa Islands' Barefoot Kuata and Manta resorts. The package includes 8 nights' accommodation, all meals on islands, and South Sea Cruises transfers from Port Denarau.
- Day 1
Nadi Arrival & Adjustment
Arrive at Nadi International Airport and head to Smugglers Cove Resort. Try to book a morning arrival to avoid common afternoon thunderstorms, especially during wet season from November to April. Take this day to rest and pick up necessities like reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes.
- Days 2-3
Beachcomber Island
Get picked up at 7:00 AM for your South Sea Cruises transfer to Beachcomber Island, about 30 minutes from Port Denarau. You'll love the unique circular island with beaches all around. The best snorkeling is off the western side before lunch when the water is calm. Make sure to catch the sunset at Beach Bar.
- Days 4-5
Barefoot Kuata, Yasawa Islands
Take a 2.5-hour boat ride to Barefoot Kuata where volcanic peaks create a stunning backdrop. Join the morning reef snorkel to explore the extensive house reef where you'll often spot sea turtles. If you're feeling brave, try the shark dive for an extra fee.
- Days 6-7
Barefoot Manta
A quick one-hour cruise takes you north to Barefoot Manta. One guest shared: "Getting up at 6 AM for manta ray snorkeling was absolutely worth it - we saw three massive mantas gliding right beneath us in crystal clear water." Book your manta snorkel early as spots fill up fast in peak season from May to October. Take motion sickness pills if needed since the channels can get rough.
- Day 8
Return to Nadi
Leave around 2:15 PM after a final morning swim. The 3.5-hour journey back to Port Denarau gives you time to relax with a book. Once you're back at Smugglers Cove you can visit the Nadi handicraft market which stays open until 6 PM.
- Day 9
Departure
Head to Nadi Airport in the morning. If you have a later flight the resort will store your bags while you enjoy one last swim in their pool.
8 Days in Fiji, incl. Coral Coast and Matamanoa Island
This 8-day combination tour takes you to Fiji's coastal and island spots, starting with a flower-chain welcome at Nadi Airport before heading to the Coral Coast for 3 nights at Yatule Resort & Spa. You'll visit the UNESCO-listed Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park, take part in a traditional kava ceremony in Nakabuta village, and browse the lively Sigatoka market for tropical fruits. The trip wraps up with 4 nights at the upper mid-range Matamanoa Island Resort, where you can snorkel clear reefs full of manta rays and sea turtles among the Pacific's colorful coral gardens.
- Day 1
Nadi to Coral Coast
You'll get a traditional flower lei welcome at Nadi International Airport. The 1.5-hour drive to the Coral Coast along Queens Road is best done in the morning so you can enjoy a full afternoon at your resort. Consider exchanging money at the airport's Western Union for better rates than your resort.
- Days 2-3
Coral Coast
The Coral Coast offers excellent snorkeling right offshore. Get in the water before 10 AM when visibility is best and before the trade winds pick up. Visit Sigatoka Valley on your second day to experience local culture in Fiji's "salad bowl" region. The UNESCO-listed sand dunes reach 60 meters high. Bring sturdy shoes since the sand gets very hot by midday.
- Day 4
Coral Coast to Matamanoa Island
The boat ride from Port Denarau to Matamanoa takes about 90 minutes. Sit on the right side for the best views of the Mamanuca Islands. Bring motion sickness tablets if needed since afternoon rides can get rough. Plan your morning transfer carefully since the last boat usually leaves at 3 PM.
- Days 5-7
Matamanoa Island
This adults-only island has just one resort so you'll always find plenty of beach space. The house reef is perfect for snorkeling, especially at high tide when you can float above the coral. Check tide charts at reception. The best dive sites, Supermarket and Gotham City, are just 20 minutes away by boat. Book water activities early in case of weather cancellations. Take the 45-minute round-trip hike to the island's summit early in the morning before it gets too hot. You'll need proper walking shoes for the steep sections but the island views make it worthwhile.
- Day 8
Return to Nadi
Take the morning boat back to make afternoon flights from Nadi. Get to the airport at least 3 hours before international flights since check-in can be slow.
