About this experience
Get off the mainland and out of your comfort zone with this short break package to the Yasawa Islands where you get to snorkel with reef sharks!
Get up close and personal with reef sharks in their natural environment. Don't panic, they are pretty docile Fijian sharks and you will have a guide with you for the duration. Overnight at this scenic resort at the bottom of the Yasawa Islands which is surrounded by impressive volcanic peaks. Make the effort to hike to the summit to watch the sun set, it is worthwhile!

Travel Insurance: There are very limited medical facilities in the Yasawas so if any medical problem arises your customers will very likely need to return to Nadi. If your clients develop a serious medical problem your clients will most likely want to leave Fiji for Australia, New Zealand, or home. There is also a higher degree of risk in public areas, on local vessels, etc. Sea conditions and sometimes cyclones can prevent travel on the booked dates as well. It is, therefore, an essential condition of travelling with Awesome Adventures Fiji that your customers have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the cost of any emergency medical treatment or accident and to protect your clients' holiday payments in the event of cancellation and/or delays.
LIABILITY Where another company or persons operate the tour, activity or excursion, diving, accommodation or shore transfers, Awesome Adventures Fiji is only acting as a Sales Agent. Responsibility for the operation and liability for any mishap lies with those operators solely and not with Awesome Adventures Fiji. Awesome Adventures Fiji is not responsible for missed flights or any associated expenses due to late arrival at checkin counters
RIGHT TO VARY Any necessary changes will be advised prior to travel – as most of the properties featured in our packages are small, they are at times full. When this is the case we reserve the right to substitute a similar property of a similar standard and/or reverse the order of the brochured itinerary.
