Yasawa Islands

If you came by the "yellow boat" Yasawa Flyer then it will pick you up on its daily run and take you to your next island. If you have a 5, 7, 10, 12, 15 or 21 day 'Bula Pass', this is included in your fare, otherwise, it can cost between $45 to $70 to go from one island to the next. A local water taxi can provide a far cheaper means to transfer between islands, especially for shorter trips when the weather is reasonably clear. Some resorts will pick you up from your current resort for free, otherwise rates tend to range from $5-$15. It always pays to ask around before you book, especially with the resort you are travelling to that wants your business more than the one you've just paid for. Like all prices in Fiji, these charges are often negotiable, especially if you are travelling in a group since most charges are per head, you can bargain for a group discount. One caveat: Local boats are slower and have been known to run out of fuel and never carry oars, so don't take local boats if such surprises would ruin your holiday but if slow, reactive responses to problems is going to frustrate you, Fiji is probably not your ideal holiday location - Fiji time!
