Exploring Fiji: An Insider’s Guide to Island Hopping

Published 23rd Aug 2023

One of the most incredible things about exploring Fiji is getting to set foot on multiple stunning islands, each with its own natural beauty, fascinating history, and memorable experiences. Island hopping on your Fiji holiday is the perfect way to marry together adventure and luxury, while getting to see some of the most spectacular sights in the South Pacific.

The team at Spacifica Travel are committed to helping you plan and book a Fijian island hopping vacation that exceeds your expectations. As a team who loves Fiji, here is our guide to everything you need to know about exploring the country’s many incredible islands.

Our Favourite Islands to Visit in Fiji

While there is no shortage of incredible islands to explore during your Fiji travels, here are some of our favourites.

Yasawa Islands

Discover the hidden paradise of the Yasawa Islands, a Fijian gem that often remains unexplored due to its remote location. What sets these islands apart is their commitment to preserving local culture and natural beauty.

Divers and snorkelers are in for a treat as the remote reefs surrounding the Yasawa Islands boast unparalleled marine life and pristine underwater landscapes.

Viti Levu

Venturing further south to the Viti Levu group of islands, you'll find a haven of tranquillity off Pacific Harbour. These islands promise an untouched escape, inviting discerning travellers to experience Fiji's splendour in exclusive serenity.

Island Hopping Tours in Fiji

Fiji offers an array of captivating island hopping cruises that promise an unforgettable journey through its stunning archipelago. One standout option is the Blue Lagoon Cruise, renowned for its immersive exploration of the Yasawa Islands. This cruise allows you to discover remote villages, pristine beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, all while enjoying the comforts of a well-appointed vessel.

For a more upscale experience, the Captain Cook Cruises provide luxury island hopping adventures. The 'Fiji Princess' offers a boutique cruising experience with visits to cultural sites, tranquil lagoons, and vibrant marine life.

Whether you're drawn to cultural encounters, marine wonders, or luxury escapades, Fiji's island hopping cruises cater to diverse preferences, ensuring a remarkable exploration of this Pacific paradise.

How to Pack for a Fijian Island Hopping Cruise

Packing smartly for a Fijian island hopping cruise ensures a comfortable and enjoyable journey through this tropical paradise. Start with lightweight, breathable clothing like shorts, dresses, and swimwear for sunny days on deck and beach outings. Don't forget a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to shield yourself from the strong sun.

Given the laid-back nature of the islands, casual footwear like sandals or water shoes are essential. A light jacket or sweater can come in handy during cooler evenings or breezy boat rides. For onshore excursions and water activities, pack snorkelling gear, including a mask and fins. A reusable water bottle helps you stay hydrated throughout the adventure.

Remember to bring insect repellent, basic first aid supplies, and any necessary medications. A waterproof bag safeguards electronics and important documents. Lastly, Fijian evenings can be dressier, so include a few semi-formal outfits for onboard dinners or local cultural events. By packing a mix of essentials and island-friendly attire, you'll be well-prepared for an enriching and comfortable Fijian island hopping experience.
