# Where to in the Yasawas? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
pollies 16:43 UTC 07 Mar 2007 | We would like to go to the Yasawas. Can anyone recommend bure/bungalow accommodation( midrange price) situated on/ near the beach where there is great snorkelling? When is the "ideal" time of year to go? |

karlo 00:49 UTC 19 Mar 2007 | Octopus has good snorkeling, not great, but the place has many charms. The cheap time of year to go is July and August, and it's less touristed then, also. Look at their website (http://www.octopusresort.com/) for deals on longer-stay packages, but if you go offseason, contact them for a deep discount. | 3
pollies 02:48 UTC 19 Mar 2007 | Thank you for the Octopus "plugs". It almost sounds a bit "sus"....but maybe it's meant to be and we will definitely check out their website and info. Would a stay on the island be worth combining with a 3 night cruise of the islands? Is July/August a good time of year, weatherwise to go there, other than being less busy? | 4
