Itinerary


Day 1 - Lautoka, Fiji

Welcome aboard our ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht. Settle into your suite in the sweet ‘Sugar City’ of Lautoka. Located in the heart of the sugar cane industry, Fiji’s second-biggest settlement opens up a world of blissful beaches, dense jungle and the culturally rich Fijian life.

Please book your flight to arrive into Nadi prior to 02:00 PM.

Meals : Dinner

Day 2 - Yasawa Islands, Sawa I Lau Island

This dreamy group of volcanic islands was the setting for the Blue Lagoon movies (both the 1949 and 1980 versions). Until 1987 the Yasawas were closed to land-based tourism and could only be viewed from a boat.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 3 - Tavenui Island

Taveuni is called the ‘Garden Isle’ for good reason. Bouma National Heritage Park comprises more than a third of the island, with the Waitabu Marine Park on the north-east coast. Activities are mostly nature-based, from swimming under waterfalls in the jungle to diving at renowned sites such as Eel Reef and the Great White Wall in the Somosomo Strait.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 4 - Lakeba Island > Lau Islands

Lakeba is the home of the Tui Nayan (chief). Historically, warlords from Tonga based themselves here to conquer much of Fiji in the 19th century, lending a Tongan influence to many aspects of Lakeban culture.

With no land-based tourism, Lau Islands is the least visited part of Fiji, having preserved most clan traditions. In contrast, the limestone landscape has been eroded into dramatic islets and arches.

Meals : Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 5 - Vava’u, Tonga

Vava’u, an archipelago of around 40 coral islands in the south Pacific Ocean, is a captivating combination of lush vegetation, sandy beaches, abundant marine life and underwater caves. Mount Talau towers over the main island, offering panoramic views. Local traditions involve woven leaves from the pandanus tree, production of Noni juice and extraction of vanilla essence.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 6 - Hunga Tonga

The world’s newest island is unofficially known as Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai, named after the two islands it lies between. It formed in December 2014 after a submarine volcano erupted, sending steam, ash and rock into the air. When the ash finally settled, it interacted with the seawater and solidified, creating the new island.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 7 - Fulanga Island, Fiji

Fulaga is a narrow crescent of reef limestone in Fiji's Southern Lau Group. Adored for its beauty and lovely lagoon, the island has three villages: Muanaicake, Muanaira and Naividamu. The locals are skilled carvers, known for making outrigger canoes and wooden bowls, with some of their handiwork available for purchase during your visit.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 8 - Beqa Island

Surrounded by one of the world’s largest barrier reefs, Beqa is untouched, with no cars or roads on the island. The lagoon has sunken wrecks, wall dives and coral-lined tunnels to explore underwater. See a wide range of pelagic fish, sharks, blue ribbon eels and octopus, with many of the dive sites just minutes from shore.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 9 - Lautoka

Disembark where it all began and bid farewell to your Captain and crew of the World’s First Discovery Yacht.

Please book your flight to depart out of Nadi after 12:00 PM.
