The Yasawa group of islands are a string of volcanic islands with steep mountains and gorgeous beaches. The Yasawas are the ideal backpackers destination with twelve large islands to visit and as many traditionally owned backpacker resorts. Contact Beautiful Pacific Holidays Fiji for more information.

Kuata Island point has a deep lagoon which, like most of the Yasawa islands, offers excellent snorkelling. The rocky coastline of northern Kuata Island beneath which a splendid fine white sand beach and traditional resort lie beside a deep lagoon. Walking trails meander throughout Kuata's steep ridges.

Waya Island is the most dramatic of the Yasawa islands and offers great hiking trails as well as sandy beaches.

The beach at Botaira Beach Resort offers fine white sand, tropical vegetation and a deep lagoon offshore ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Botaira Beach Resort on the western side of Naviti Island, is the ideal escape with traditional bures with private facilities and cheaper dorm style bures with shared bathrooms.

Tavewa is a low lying island with grassy hills. It is possible to walk around the island in a few hours, most of the way on sand. Snorkelling offshore is excellent. The island was the original backpacker destination in the Yasawas and is the most commercial of the Yasawa islands with no traditional villages or landowners and half a dozen small resorts, most aimed at backpackers.

Sawa-i-Lau island is famous for its underwater caves.

Yasawa Island is a long narrow and flat island with coastal cliffs, bays and sandy beaches. There are often good beach waves on the west coast of Yasawa making it fun for frolicking. The beach front at Yasawa Island Resort, one of the most upmarket resorts in Fiji, stretches for over a kilometre.
Yasawa has many traditional fishing villages including Teci Village with mostly thatch houses.
