13th13 | OctOct | 202424 | Lautoka, Fiji, embark on the Scenic Eclipse II | ||||
North of Nadi through sugarcane plantations and past the Sabeto Mountains is Lautoka, nicknamed the Sugar City for the local agriculture and its big processing mill. With a population of around 50,000, it's the only city besides Suva and, like the capital, has a pleasant waterfront. It's the sailing point for Blue Lagoon and Beachcomber Cruises but is otherwise unremarkable for tourists, itself having few hotels and fewer good restaurants. Locals recommend the city as a less-expensive place to shop for clothing, but note that it can take as long as 45 minutes to drive here. Legend has it that Lautoka acquired its name when two chiefs engaged in combat and one hit the other with a spear. He proclaimed "lau toka" (spear hit) and thus the future town was named. Your voyage of discovery begins in the ‘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. This afternoon, you’ll board Scenic Eclipse II, your home for the next days. Be greeted with a glass of Champagne, meet your butler and settle into your luxurious suite. Join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar or the Scenic Bar and Lounge for a cocktail with a view as you depart ready for the journey of a lifetime. Please book your flight to arrive into Nadi prior to 02:00 PM. | |||||||
14th14 | OctOct | 202424 | Yasawa Island, Fiji | ||||
Nabukeru is the largest village located within the grouping of the 20 volcanic islands that make up the Yasawa Islands in Fiji. Until 1987 these islands were closed to land-based tourism and could only be viewed from aboard a vessel. With their clear, aquamarine waters and ecologically diverse tropical, mountainous landscapes, these islands were the location for the filming of the romantic adventure film The Blue Lagoon (both the 1949 and 1980 versions). The islands are famous for the limestone Sawa-i-lau caves, which must be accessed by swimming at low tide through an underwater tunnel. Nabukeru villagers assert that the cave is the heart of the Yasawas. The Yasawa archipelago comprises approximately 20 volcanic islands that boast a captivating and dreamy landscape. These picturesque islands served as the backdrop for the iconic Blue Lagoon films, including both the 1949 and 1980 versions. Interestingly, until 1987, the Yasawas remained inaccessible for land-based tourism, allowing them to be admired exclusively from boats, shrouding them in an air of mystique and remote beauty. Sawa I Lau Cave: Explore Sawa-i-Lau Island, renowned for its limestone caves. Follow your expert local guide, climb stairs from the beach, and leap into the first cave's pool.
