Viti Levu
"Viti Levu is the largest island in the Fijian archipelago, home to more than 70 percent of the country’s population, as well as the capital city. With rainforest, peaks, spectacular sand dunes, and waterfalls, it is also an island of outstanding natural beauty." - The Culture Trip
The Coral Coast
Where tradition, culture & nature meet
Blessed with some of the best beaches on Viti Levu, the Coral Coast’s laidback vibe and huge range of things to do make it a firm favorite for sun-seekers, water lovers, & cultural adventurers.
* Natadola Beach: Often coined the "most beautiful white sand beach in Fiji", our journey begins at this iconic stretch of sand and sun. From snorkeling to horseback riding, or just good old
sunbathing, there's no shortage of tropical activities to keep us entertained.
* Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park: On the nomination list to become a UNESCO World 
Heritage Site, these behemoth dunes make up an extensive network covering an area of 1600 acres. Experience the thrill of sandboarding and learn about the dune system's famous & important archaeological history.
Yasawa Islands
If ever your tropical island fantasies come true, this strand of 20 exquisite islands would fit the
bill. Blessed with dramatic peaks and sun-drenched white sand beaches, the Yasawa Islands is the quintessential paradise that lies Northwest of the main island Viti Levu. The region is a haven for nature lovers and is definitely a mariner’s dream for an adventurous ocean escapade. The natural exotic beauty of the Yasawa's has earned them spots on Hollywood movie sets and is a popular choice for reality shows. There are 15 words in the Fijian language meaning Heaven and 'Yasawa' is the first. Need we say more?
Nacula Island
Nacula Island is renowned not only for its pristine beaches and lagoons but also its rolling hills that offer plenty of hiking trails with incredible views. The snorkeling and diving on Nacula is some of the best in Fiji, if not the world. Deserted, white sand beaches roll into clear blue waters teeming with sea life, hidden sea caves beckon, & dense tropical rain forests filled with colorful creatures welcome locals and visitors alike from all over the world.
The Blue Lagoon Resort
With a large focus on the Fijian culture and a strong connection with the local village of Nacula, the resort offers what Fiji is all about, and boasts some of the warmest, friendliest people anywhere in the world. The resort is positioned in Nalova Bay, and enjoys spectacular sunsets, calm seas, and fantastic swimming and snorkeling on all tides. You will find that the soft white sand is so inviting, you will want to take a walk, a morning run, or simply laze on the beach with a good book.
* Guided reef snorkel: With some of the healthiest reefs in the world, snorkeling off the Yasawa
Island coasts is unparalleled. An immense variety of corals and tropical sea creatures abound from bright orange striped "Nemo fish", fluorescent soft corals, sea turtles, & so much more. Our guide will provide all the equipment and help anyone who wants guidance while in the water.
* Ocean Cave Adventure: Located in the 
famous "Blue Lagoon", venture into the caves with our local expert guide to explore the treasures within. The magnificent cavern ceilings have holes allowing light to display the wonders inside and for the real adventurous, enter a second, more secretive cavern via an underwater tunnel!
* Local Village Encounter (optional): A short, scenic boat ride to the other side of Nacula Island takes us to a traditional Fijian village where we can witness their way of life and help support their community.
* Diving Fiji (optional): This region of the Yasawa's is known for calm blue waters with frequent sightings of turtles, lobster, nudibranch, reef sharks, and so much more. 30 dive sites allow for diverse diving adventures with outstanding reefs, walls, drop-offs, swim-throughs, & pinnacles. There is even a once-in-a-lifetime shark encounter dive where you can expect to see black and white tip reef sharks, lemon sharks, and bull sharks at home in their natural environment.
* Island Nature Exploration: Join our tour director on walks and hikes into the tropical 
forests and hills of Nacula Island. A labyrinth of trails right from our resort leads to a variety of hidden wonders. Thriving mangroves with mud crab flats, hidden beaches, lush rainforest canopies filled with brightly-colored birds & creatures, and breathtaking views atop the island's large hills are a few of the tropical treasures.
* Sunset Hike: Get ready for a show of dazzling colors as the sun sets on the Yasawa Islands. Our tour director will take the group to the top of a nearby lookout for 360° views of the surrounding islands, reefs, & sky as it lights up with shades of orange, pink, & red. Amazing photographs to be captured this evening!
