Frequently Asked Questions

By tender, off a beach: there is no quay and no road in sight. In calm weather the tender sets passengers straight onto white sand, sometimes with feet in the water.
Yes, and the lines remind passengers of it. The sea has the last word: a contrary wind can shift the anchorage or cut the day short. Better to approach this call without a rigid plan.
Ridges of golden grass dropping into a translucent lagoon. Hills with the look of savannah, a few coconut groves, tin or thatch roofs gathered into hamlets. The Yasawa have stayed clear of mass tourism, and you see it from the first steps.
The welcome protocol of Fijian villages: visitors present a kava root to the chief, who accepts the offering and opens his community to guests. Multi-part church singing, a meke dance and a visit to the school often follow.
Clothing covering shoulders and knees is appreciated, and you remove your hat out of respect for the chief. Purchases at the small craft market — woven mats, shell necklaces — support the community directly.
Yes, over the coral heads close to shore: butterflyfish, blue damselfish and sometimes a curtain of silver fish closing around the swimmer. Kayaking and swimming round out the options.
Yes, and it pays off quickly. After a quarter of an hour climbing through tall grass, the open hills give broad views over the chain of islands running south and over the ship set in the middle of the blue.
A limestone outcrop towards the southern tip of the island, where you swim in a natural pool lit by an opening in the vault. The site is tied to several Fijian legends and was made famous by the film The Blue Lagoon.
No. It appears on some itineraries only, depending on the anchorage chosen by the line, and the swim depends on the tide and the day's programme. Ask on board rather than counting on it.
Hat, sun protection and water shoes, carried down from the ship: facilities are minimal and the beach offers little beyond its shade and its beauty. The late-afternoon light, low across grass and waves, is one of the finest sights in the archipelago.
