Bula!
Looking forward for your experiences and a nice holiday later on :) PS: Travelling alone, young and not much comfort necessary - just want to explore outstanding nature and enjoy the fijian hospitalityl! :) | ||
I suggest it would be better if you had 2 nights at 3 places - otherwise you spend lots of time waiting for the boat/transfers/checking in to next place.... | 1 | |
Thanks for theese explanations! :) ok by now I intend to visit Blue Lagoon Beach Resort and Octopus, both 2 days - and afterwards for one night Beachcomber. Is it for theese 4 transfers cheaper to buy single tickets or still better to take the "Bula Pass"? | 2 | |
The Bula Pass should work out cheaper for that. | 3 | |
I just got to know that it is cheaper to book theese four transfers separately. "Beautiful Pacific" offered me the joruneys for 439 FJ$ all together. | 4 | |
The Bula Pass is FJ$391 or thereabouts when you buy it in Fiji. The price they show on their website changes based on your current location (shows in Canadian dollars for me now, showed in Australian dollars when I lived in Australia, etc) and typically is much more expensive, so don't buy it until you arrive in Fiji. With the Bula Pass you only need to book your trip leaving Denarau. After that you just come and go from the Yasawa Flyer with no need to book ahead. | 5 | |
thanks for your statement - I couldn't get to this information by online research! And what about single journeys? Is it therefore also cheaper to book it in Awesome Adventure office in Fiji? Or should I arrange the transfers by the resorts? And how to buy a single ticket from one island to the next stop? Thank you very much! | 6 | |
Each resort you are staying at will be able to do the booking for you for your onward journey. You can pay them when you pay your bill and they will write you a voucher for the boat. | 7 | |
if you havent booked 3 places yet, id suggest you spend your time at just the first 2 places and maybe skip Octopus (closer to Beachcomber) or Blue Lagoon as both are very similar in style and management. With the bit more time you may find the experince a little less rushed, esp if you meet some folks you would like to hang out with (you probably will) and most places have the same things to do on each island really (snorkelling, hanging out, villages, hill hikes, chilling on the beach, enjoying time with new faces) | 8 | |
