robvera 22:41 UTC 16 Sep 2011 | Hi All, We are looking for some input about conditions in January, some friends were in the Yasawas last February and said the water was rough and murky most of the time, (possibly due to the earthquake in NZ), is this normal for wet season? We would like to explore the islands but would be disappointed if the snorkeling was not great. Also, what are the thoughts on the Coral Coast, we like the idea of having the option of moving around and seeing different sights and maybe jet boating and rafting. Thanks in advance for those who respond. |

You need to go to the smaller islands to get the postcard-esque scenery. The only thing you can't do on the smaller islands is go rafting, but there are plenty of alternatives to keep a person active. | 1
