Yanuca Island Holiday Packages

Stunningly beautiful island! Fabulous that it is owned and run by Fijians. Bure’s were well scattered around the small Island, cleverly facing towards the sea giving the illusion of privacy. The construction of them however could do with a little more thought and insulation as the ‘duplex’ ones you can hear your neighbour whisper. Despite the year-round prevalence of mosquitoes there was zero insect netting on any door or window. The windows comprised of wooden louvres with gaps as big as several cm in places. Much repellent was utilised. Food was basic but delicious, not an enormous variety. The islands main supply boat capsized a few weeks or so before we arrived, getting adequate produce and other goods out to the island was restricted to a boat 1/4 the size of the original. There was a small amount of watercraft available for use- first in first served. Several kayaks/ stand up paddle boards and a catamaran sailboat. Some snorkeling equipment and they helped me get in touch with a dive company that picked me up from the beach. There is a turtle sanctuary on the island where they raise the babies from hatching and release them into the ocean at a year old when they are much more capable of survival. Such a beautiful learning institution. There is also a couple of crested iguanas in an aviary where you can feed them. Definitely recommend as part of island hopping or a day trip.

We booked 2 glamping villas, one for us and the other for our 17 & 22 year old sons. From the moment we were picked up by the red boat, we were made to feel so welcome with everyone we met giving us a huge genuine grin and a “Bula”. The people, the food, the pool, the snorkelling and the glamping villas were all awesome. Simi makes the best lemon, lime & bitters at the bar. The glamping villas were next level with all of the amenities of a hotel room while also feeling like you were camping on the beach. We’re already planning a return trip next year. Highly recommend!
