Snorkeling Round 2 – Swimming With Sharks in Nanuya

Clint R — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Another exciting excursion from our homestay at Sunrise Lagoon on Nanyua Lailai Island in Fiji’s Yasawa Group. This was originally going to be a normal snorkeling trip where they take you (again in the 12 foot fiberglass boat) to various spots around the island; however some of the other guests there wanted to take the […]

Beer Me – Fiji Edition

Clint R — Sat, 27 Aug 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Fiji was a contrast to Australia on the drinks side; there aren’t many different types of beer you can get on the island. They do have some craftier beers – one we saw often was Vonu – but most of the time what you find is a version of “The National Beer” of Fiji. This […]

Cave Diving & Cliff Jumping – Yasawa Islands, Fiji

Clint R — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Time to enjoy one of our exciting Fiji excursions – we took a 45 minute trip (in our hosts’ small fiberglass boat) to explore a local sea cave. After a short climb up some stairs (carved right into the rocks), we descended down and were able to jump right into the water. It was about […]

Snorkeling in the Blue Lagoon – Nanuya Lailai, Fiji

Clint R — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Round 1 of snorkeling during for our time in Fiji. This video covers a few sessions in the Blue Lagoon, a naturally protected harbor on the “resort” side of the island. The coral formations were impressive, but unfortunately a lot of damage and die-off occurred during Cyclone Yasa (hurricanes, in the Southern Hemisphere) in 2020/21. […]

Over, Around, and Through Nanuya Lailai Island

Clint R — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Nanuya Lailai is a remote island – even by Fiji standards – and is also quite small; stretching only 1.4 kilometers (~1 mile) from one end to the other. During our 11-day stay here, we explored multiple routes of getting from one side (our homestay at Sunrise Lagoon) to the other (Nanuya Island Resort, the […]

Some days traveling is easy – of note the day of our trip back from a week-and-a-half on Nanuya Laila Island in Fiji (comfortably staying in a beachside bungalow) to Nadi on the mainland. We had a home cooked breakfast of Donuts, packed at our own pace, were taken by boat to the larger ferry […]

Sunrise on Nanuya Lailai Island

Clint R — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Our homestay on Nanuya Lailai Island was right on the beach – and we mean that literally. This is the cabin we stayed in: And this was the view out our windows and from the porch: Needless to say, the sunrise views were pretty unreal. The sky started changing colors around 5:30AM, and would continue […]

Riding the Flyer to the Yasawas – Fiji

Clint R — Fri, 12 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Bula again! Time for another video showing off Fiji’s rugged natural beauty. After a few days in Nadi, we took the Yasawa Flyer ferry to our next destination – the small, remote island of Nanuya Lailai (permanent population ~60) in the Yasawa chain. The ferry ride took about 5 hours, and went past many islands […]

Welcome to the second leg of our travels – the beautiful island nation of Fiji! We initially planned to head straight from our arrival point (Nadi Airport on Vita Levu Island, one of the main population centers) to a homestay in the Yasawa island chain. However, the flexible nature of our trip allowed us to […]

Fantastic Photogenic Fiji – Viti Levu & Yasawas

Clint R — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

For the second leg of our journey, we decided to go someplace nice and warm – at least warmer than Australia in the wintertime. On advice from our hosts and others we met in Australia, we headed to Fiji. On additional advice we made an effort to get out to the smaller, more remote islands. […]
