Mamanuca Islands accommodation from AU$201

Island hopping is the activity of choice in Mamanuca. With more islands and beaches than tourists, so it's so easy to find a beautiful and secluded spot where you can enjoy your tropical holiday. Snorkel or scuba in the beautiful reef around Beachcomber Island, and keep an eye out for the baby black tip reef sharks in the area - totally harmless, they are spectacular to watch underwater. On Mana Island you can explore the crystal clear waters in a kayak, or just lie and relax under the shade of the beautiful palm trees. Scuba divers will love one of the best dive sites in Fiji, which is known as ‘The Supermarket’.

Visit a traditional Fijian village on Yanuya, or get a taste for seclusion on Monuriki, which is an uninhabited island where the movie Cast Away was filmed. Malolo Island offers the best hiking in the region, where you can enjoy scenic walks to the island’s summit and take in the magnificent views across the other Mamanuca Islands. South Sea Island even has a semi-submersible coral reef viewer, which is great for anyone wanting to gaze at the local marine life without getting their feet wet!

Feasting on the fantastic local cuisine is a must. It’s a mix of Fijian and Indian flavours thanks to the large number of immigrants who came to Fiji in the late 1800s. While you’re here, you should definitely try Kokoda. It's a Fijian delicacy where fresh fish is marinated in lemon juice and coconut milk, and is simply delicious.

The Mamanuca Islands really are amazing and you won't find a more perfect location for your next beach holiday. With so many different islands to visit, you'll find your only concern is that your holiday is too short! Grab a cheap flight to Fiji and find some great Mamanuca Islands accommodation. Your next trip to Fiji is really going to be special!
