Start your adventure by spending few days enjoying the culture, nature and sunshine of Fiji beachside before embarking on a Blue Lagoon Cruise. Spend three nights on a magical voyage through the Mamanuca and the exquisitely remote Yasawa Islands. Only a few hours each day is spent underway, with the rest spent at anchor in a sheltered lagoon and ashore, so you can go exploring, play water sports, enjoy cultural activities or simply do nothing at all. Average cruising time is four hours per day.
