Yasawa Islands

Step into your tropical island dream in the stunning Yasawa Islands, where every moment feels like paradise. With dramatic peaks, sun-drenched white sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters, this archipelago northwest of Viti Levu is perfect for families, couples, and adventure seekers alike.

Renowned for their natural charm, the Yasawas have starred in Hollywood films and reality shows, and it’s easy to see why. Whether you choose to stay on a single island or island-hop across the 20 islands, you can explore the awe-inspiring Sawa-i-Lau caves, swim alongside graceful manta rays, and uncover vibrant coral gardens beneath the waves. Even if you stick to one island, secret beaches, deserted bays, and scenic lookouts make every day unforgettable.

Yasawa Island Beaches

Soft white sands and turquoise waters define the Yasawas’ beaches, each offering its own charm. From lively stretches perfect for snorkelling to secluded coves ideal for quiet reflection, you’ll find a beach for every mood.

Yasawa Islands Hotels

Lodging ranges from rustic, budget-friendly bungalows to chic boutique resorts, allowing you to tailor your stay to your style. Whether you seek simplicity or little luxuries, the Yasawas promise comfort alongside unspoiled natural beauty.

Yasawa Islands Cruises

Yasawa Islands cruises offer a unique way to experience Fiji’s archipelago. With daily stops at secluded beaches, hidden coves, and traditional villages, every day brings something new. Guests can snorkel over vibrant coral reefs, swim with tropical fish, or enjoy a guided trek to breathtaking viewpoints. Onboard, luxury cabins and attentive service ensure comfort between adventures, while meals feature fresh, local cuisine prepared daily.

What we love about the Yasawas is their sense of adventure and space. Quieter than the Mamanucas, they are ideal for those seeking a slower pace or a more authentic connection with Fiji. Perfect for couples or adventurous families willing to travel a little further, the islands reward visitors with wide horizons, fewer crowds, and incredible snorkelling and diving. From colourful reefs to hidden lagoons and manta rays in season, there’s always something magical beneath the surface.

To truly experience the archipelago, we recommend venturing beyond your resort. Take a guided hike to a hilltop lookout, visit a local village to experience traditional culture, or cruise by boat to swim in the iconic Sawa-i-Lau caves. Evenings here are unforgettable, with spectacular sunsets, storytelling, song, and freshly caught seafood cooked over an open fire. For those dreaming of Fiji at its most dramatic and authentic, the Yasawa Islands deliver every time.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
