Sailing
The are a number of yacht charter companies operating in Fiji and several marinas have private sailing schools. If you are looking for a Fiji sailing holiday, there are several areas to visit with good facilities. Destinations include the Mamanuca / Yasawa chain of islands (depart Musket Cove, Nadi and Lautoka), the Lomaiviti Group (depart Suva) and the Northern Islands (depart Savusavu). Barebacking is not advisable due to the dangerous reefs. Yacht charters usually come with a local skipper with lifetime knowledge of the reefs and weather conditions and an understanding of the delicate protocol required when visiting islands.
Remote beaches, secluded bays and visiting traditional fishing villages are the highlights of all areas. When visiting an island, even if it's just a matter of spending a day on the beach, permission should first be granted from the local village chief or spokesman with a presentation of Yaqona roots being made as the sevusevu or gift.
Permission should also be granted at the main port of entry if visiting any of the outer islands of the Yasawa, Lomaiviti or Lau Groups.
The Fiji Islands lie between 15’ and 22’ South latitude and 174’ East and 177’ West longitude. The Fiji sailing season begins in April and ends around December when unpredictable weather and tropical cyclones threaten the South Pacific. The 300+ islands that make up the Fiji Islands offer an excellent sailing environment - secluded bays, sweeping remote beaches and traditional Fijian villages. Many areas are inaccessible to tourism because of their remoteness and this gives yachties real scope for adventure. Excellent sailing conditions and a fantastic climate attracts racing boats and cruising yachts from around the world. Several agents provide full service to visiting luxury yachts, including arranging all custom and immigration clearances and crew placement. Fiji's shipyards offer maintenance and repairs for both motor and sail boats.

Fiji Adverntures
Fiji - the last frontier for your first dose of authentic, cultural and sustainable eco-adventure! Partake in a traditional yaqona (Kava) ceremony, view the cosmopolitan city of Suva from the top of Joske's Thumb, or ride the white water rapids of the Luva River. Fiji simply has it all.
Fiji is still very much untouched by the outside world and in places, life has changed very little for centuries.
The range of memorable experiences available is so diverse that it is possible to discover virgin grasslands and tropical rainforests unscarred by logging or mining as well as marvel at the exotic customs of the Fijian, Indian, Chinese, Rotuman and other cultures that have made Fiji their home.
You can explore the ruins of a fascinating pre-European war hill fortification, or wander through a colonial town that has changed little in over 150 years and soak up the history that surrounds you. There is much to do and see for those who want to come and experience the real Fiji, its beauty, culture and people.
If you are traveling at a more sedate pace, go trekking in any of our tropical park reserves and take in the splendor of our flora and fauna. Most resorts have great hiking trails available around the resort and neighboring islands. Village visits are very popular with tourists and the Fijians who live there are enthusiastic and welcoming. The children are especially intrigued by those visitors with Polaroid or digital cameras. You'll probably be invited to participate in a kava ceremony and maybe even a meke.
Alternatively, for real Fiji Time, share in the indigenous way of life with a village visit. The reception you will receive at one of the numerous home stays around the country will warm your heart, and develop life long friendships with the friendliest people in the world.
So whether you choose to hike or bike, enter a cave or ride a wave, Fiji is tailor-made for relaxed, authentic experiences and adrenaline filled adventure.
Fly Me to Paradise
With over 330 Islands in the group, Fiji abounds with exciting tropical destinations. With an area covering some 360,000 square miles, it’s not always so easy to get there.
Turtle Airways offers you a quick, easy and safe seaplane transfer between Nadi and some of the best coastal resorts in western Fiji as well as transfers to Island Resorts, charters and tours. Our float planes take off from Turtle’s Seaplane Base, which is located approximately 20 minutes from the Nadi International Airport, and fly you to over 16 coastal destinations.
The Seaplane Experience
Traveling is part of the adventure. It takes off from the water, lands on the water, and in between you’ll enjoy the unforgettable views. The white sand beaches fringing the hundreds of islands you fly over positively shimmer when set against emerald lagoons and turquoise waters. Inland, you’ll pass over rainforests filled with deep river gorges and waterfalls that cascade over craggy volcanic cliffs to form isolated pools.
