💡 Travel Tips
- • Book accommodations and ferry in advance - Yasawa Flyer fills up, especially June-September peak season.
- • Pack light - luggage transferred between boat and resort via small boats. Soft bags easier than hard suitcases.
- • No ATMs on Yasawas - bring sufficient Fijian dollars cash for villages, souvenirs, kava ceremonies.
- • Reef shoes essential - coral and rocks on beaches and snorkel sites. Most resorts rent or sell them.
- • Limited electricity at budget resorts - often solar power running evening hours only. Charge devices accordingly.
- • Respect village etiquette - cover shoulders/knees, remove shoes in homes, ask before photographing people.
- • Weather dictates activities - rough seas cancel boat trips. Build flexibility into itinerary.
- • Most resorts serve meals at set times - all-inclusive packages common. Limited dining flexibility.
- • Sunscreen reef-safe only - regular sunscreen damages coral. Bring biodegradable SPF or buy at resorts.
- • Mobile coverage spotty - Vodafone has best coverage but expect disconnection. Embrace digital detox.
