travellermatt 11:30 UTC 16 Oct 2011 | Depends what you want, Yasawas is the immediate group of islands near Nadi where all the tourists and drinking teenagers go, I went to Qamea island, it's a hassle to get there but incredible once you, went snorkelling everyday with reef sharks etc, even saw a hammerhead one day. From there you can also visit Nanuku, literally HEAVEN ON EARTH! Heres my blog post about it, let me know if you want any more info.... http://mattcollett.blogspot.com/2011/05/nanuku-island.html | 3
fijilookout 03:19 UTC 22 Oct 2011 | Hi There, It all depends on what you are looking @-terms of what you keen to do, what your flights arrival & departure like, and your budget. Send me a private message if you still unsure: Yasawas- a must do, boat transfers costs is expensive, mostly backpacking, few high end resorts, most accommodation they have accommodation & meal packages and charge activities.this is where the famous Brooke Shields Blue Lagoon was done, you can maybe island hop get a package or stay how many nights on island then few nights on mainland if there are few attractions or things you want to do before u head home Happy Planning Margaret | 4
