8 Day / 7 Night Cruise
So much to see and do on this cruise, the memories will last a lifetime! You'll see mother nature at her best, be welcomed by friendly people, discover the spectacular underwater world, and swim in Fiji's famous crystal-clear waters.
To ensure you have the best possible cruise experience, we use 'flexible cruising'. What this means is that we're prepared to alter our itineraries, for weather-related reasons or when an exciting opportunity arises. For example, if there is some special event taking place in a local Yasawa Village, which you really should see, then we will alter our cruise route to take you there. Or, if we think that our destined anchorage for the night is not going to be as sheltered as a bay on the other side of the island, we'll up-anchor and move. However, we'll always endeavour to ensure all the highlights of each cruise are enjoyed by our guests.
Please check in at Port Denarau. Upon arrival, you will be directed to Blue Lagoon Cruises check-in counter.
Check-in is open from 1.30 pm until 2.30 pm.

Our destination today is the famed Blue Lagoon, a superb stretch of water ringed by pretty islands. Blue Lagoon Cruises has its very own private beach here at Nanuya Lailai Island, where we anchor close to the beach and tie up to a coconut tree. Jump off the back into the turquoise waters or take a tender boat to shore, where our full bar awaits you. You’ll dine on the beach all day today, including morning and afternoon tea, a buffet-style lunch, and a traditional Lovo meal cooked underground for tonight’s dinner under the stars. Today’s activities include snorkelling, fish feeding, kayaking, paddleboarding, water aerobics, and volleyball, and tonight enjoy a special traditional Meke performance by local villagers.

Afterward, take a final dip in the Blue Lagoon before we depart the area. Lunch is served on board as we cruise north for a guided visit to the amazing Sawa-I-Lau Caves. The village of Tamusua welcomes us for a Yaqona (Kava) ceremony, a guided walk around their village, and a village-style seafood dinner.
