YPT Tours to Fiji

While not a classic YPT destination, we do offer some off the beaten track Fiji tours. Fiji is one of the most visited countries out of the least visited pacific region, welcoming tourists from across the world. Fiji is an oasis made up of over 300 separate islands including tropical rainforests, coral reefs, lagoons and pristine beaches.

While many tourists come to Fiji to relax, there are plenty of adventures and fun to embark on in the tiny nation. Fiji retains its cultural richness through language, dancing, craftsmanship and storytelling. There are plenty of hidden caves, beaches and scenery to explore just outside the usual tourist bounds.

Fiji is a stop on our Least Visited Countries Tour, which visits some of the world’s least touristic countries in just under a month. This tour includes Palau, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Kiribati, Fiji, Tuvalu, Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand and Solomon Islands.

Bespoke Fiji Tours

Sea Life Adventure Tours to Fiji

Fiji is home to all kinds of living organisms under the sea – from coral and tiny fish to dolphins and whales – there is an abundance of interesting sea life to explore. Go snorkelling in Rakiraki or try scuba diving with the sharks at Rainbow Reef. Would you rather stay high and dry? There is also glass bottom boating available at islands such as Tivua and Southern Yasawa Islands.

Fiji Exploration Tour

Beyond just beaches and reefs, Fiji has a lot of inland activities to keep you entertained. In Nadi you can visit Sabeto Hot Spring Mud Pools, see temples spread among the main Viti Levu, explore markets of interesting fruits, handicrafts and souvenirs, or go hiking and seek waterfalls amongst the Fijian rainforests.  

Fijian Island Hopping Tours

There are approximately 330 islands in Fiji, varying in sizing and population. Starting from Nadi, you can relax on the white sandy beaches of the Mamanucas islands or even try surfing! Moving north, Yasawas provides all kinds of accommodation for visitors and opportunities to cave and swim at pristine beaches. There are over 330 more islands you can choose from to go island hopping

Nadi Food Scene Tour

The Fijian cuisine quite underrated and understated. While you may be familiar with Kava (or at least the effects of drinking it), there is plenty more to taste. One thing we can say for certainty about Fijian food is that it is fresh. Browse the weird and wonderful foreign fruits at Nadi Market, try some local street food, enjoy the Indo-Fijian cuisine birthing from the large Indo-Fijian population, experience superb fine dining or try making the cuisine yourself with a locally run cooking class.

Relax and Unwind Tours in Fiji

For those who want a break from our usual thrill-seeking adventures, Fiji is a great place to have a relaxing holiday. YPT can organise accommodation for all types of budgets and activities such as boating, snorkelling, massages and dining for individuals, couples or groups. You can also choose from populated Nadi or Suva, or more private islands or remote beaches to spend your time.

Fiji and Tuvalu Combination Tours

To get to Tuvalu, one of YPTs favourite destinations then you will have to fly via Fiji, unless you own a big boat or a private yet. With this is mind YPT can arrange short tour extensions accommodation and transport for you whilst you are visiting Fiji.
