This package is the perfect mix of relaxation and excitement, crafted just the way you want. On both land and sea, you have the opportunity to try your hand at a variety of Fiji's sought-after watersports such as snorkeling and kayaking, all while immersing yourself in rich culture. Along the way, there's also plenty of opportunities to kick-back and relax with your loved one on a secluded beach.
* Package price varies according to season and departure city.
In the style of most Global Escapes Independent Traveler itineraries, this is a perfect blend of self-guided adventure and forward-planning to ensure that the main elements are organised in advance allowing for plenty of time to relax and take in each place you visit.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price and/or value by a minimum of 15%. Conditions.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price or value by a minimum of 15% ("price-beat") on the following conditions:
Note: By requesting a price-beat you are under no obligation to place a booking with us or proceed with the final travel package as the case may be. A non-refundable deposit is required in the case of a tour/travel package price-beat (see below).
The following terms and conditions apply to travel plans and accommodation quotes requested from and supplied by Travel Directions Pty. Ltd. trading as Global Escapes Travel, Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club (Australian Escapes) and Kiwi Escapes (the company) and are subject to change without notice. These conditions are to be read in conjunction with our standard booking conditions and conditions applicable to Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership as defined in website FAQs.
There are two main scenarios:
(1) You request a price-beat on a specific property. Our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions, provided we have access to be able to book the accommodation through our normal supplier channels.
If we do not have access to member rates that property we will offer an alternative that is of the same or higher standard, as per our hotel rating system and that meets the stated requirements, subject to availability, and subject to the following:
(2) We propose a property with member pricing: If the "you pay" price we submit is already discounted using GCash travel credits and the lowest available price at the time it was submitted, it does not qualify. Otherwise our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions.
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the applicable objective is achieved.
Inclusions in travel and tour packages assembled by competitor travel agents, tour companies, wholesalers, online travel promoters will all be different in some way. Packages will typically vary by inclusions, validity, suppliers, component type, standard, terms and conditions, travel date, etc ("package components").
Our objective in this type of price-beat situation is to assemble a package containing similar and/or higher value package components to that which you present to us. We guarantee to offer at least 15% more total value (through added value) or a price that is 15% lower than the competitor quote ("successful price-beat") subject to the following:
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the above objective is achieved.
The price-beat must be requested before you place a booking with any other travel agent, online booking agent or property direct in relation to the subject accommodation or package.
A price-beat may be requested by providing clear, written evidence of the competitor quote as well as your requirements to an employee of the company who performs a reservations or travel consultant role ("company contact") as follows:
A competitor quote presented under this guarantee must be genuine (not contrived) and must be a final, fixed price, backed by verifiable evidence. A competitor quote that we determine is not genuine or final is excluded. The requested date range(s) for travel/tour commencement as well as for individual package components must be realistic and flexible.
This condition applies to travel/tour packages only. We require up to $900 deposit per person (amount depending on package complexity) as a guarantee that you will proceed with the travel plan after we are successful with the price/value beat. This requirement exists because of the amount of travel consultant time required to price according to a competitor quote.
Your Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership must be Gold level or above and active and paid up at the time of requesting the price beat.

Embark on your journey with a thrilling flight to Nadi, where you'll pick up your rental car and kick off your adventure. Spend a night in luxurious Denarau Island before diving into the heart of Fiji's beauty with two nights in Rakiraki and a taste of local culture in Suva. Then, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Pacific Harbour for two unforgettable nights, followed by a serene evening in Coral Coast. Return to Denarau Island for one last night of relaxation before setting sail on a mesmerizing Fiji Sunset Cruise, complete with a captivating Fijian Cultural Show. And the ultimate highlight? An epic 8-day voyage through the legendary Blue Lagoon, promising endless enchantment and unforgettable memories.
"A person susceptible to "wanderlust" is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation." - Pico Iyer
Bula and welcome to Fiji! Upon arriival to Nadi, pick up your rental car at the airport then drive to your first destination. There’s hardly a better place to start the rest of your lives together than the archipelago of Fiji. After arriving, we recommend getting over the jet lag at one of the fabulous five-star resorts on Denarau Island.
The island connected to Fiji’s mainland is a mere 20 minutes away from the airport, so you’ll be transitioning into Fiji time quicker than, well, “Fiji time“. Each resort is connected by a waterfront walkway or the hop-on hop-off Bula Bus making resort-hopping a fun way to spend your time. You could also relax by the pool, treat yourself to a couples’ massage, and more.
It’s time to hit the road and enjoy a self-drive tour of Fiji’s mainland, Viti Levu. Today, you’ll be exploring the Suncoast, the northern region of Viti Levu which spans between Lautoka and Korovou. The heart of the Suncoast is Rakiraki, home to a number of relaxed four-star resorts, upmarket hotels and even a private island resort. On your way through the Suncoast, check out the markets in Lautoka, stop by architectural sights like the Church of the Black Christ, or even take a special trip to the Navala Village with traditional “bures”.
It’s time to do a little more exploring of the Suncoast, whether it’s snorkelling or scuba diving at some of the amazing outer coral reefs of the Bligh Water or sticking to land with a romantic experience like a private dinner on the pontoon of the luxury Dolphin Island.
There are ways to relax, perhaps with another couples’ massage or with a day trek into the stunning interior of Viti Levu visiting villages and waterfalls with Talanoa Treks.
Suva, Fiji’s capital and largest city is located on Viti Levu’s south-eastern coast. Suva offers a mix of historical sites, museums, parks, local markets and a vibrant nightlife, and is one of the most cosmopolitan centres in the South Pacific, home to around a third of Fiji’s population.
Get back on the road today and enjoy a scenic road trip through the rest of the Suncoast region to Fiji’s capital city, Suva. At Wailotua Village, ask for a guide to see the Snake God Cave with amazing limestone formations. Stop by Takalana Bay Retreat for one of their amazing dolphin cruises at the Moon Reef. When you arrive in Suva, you might want to check out the Fiji Museum, check out the Municipal Market and try the array of international cuisine.
There’s so much to do on the Pacific Harbour and Beqa Island that we recommend leaving Suva early to fit in a couple of full-day experiences. The Pacific Harbour is known as Fiji’s “Adventure Capital” with white water rafting, jet boat tours, ziplining, shark diving and more! If you’re adventure-seekers then you’ll fill up your time here no problem. Otherwise, there are certainly more excuses to lounge with a cocktail in hand, get a massage or go on a sunset cruise.
Optional activity: Beqa Lagoon Snorkelling $221pp
Enjoy today relaxing at leisure, exploring the surrounding area. Or, if you're feeling more adventurous, check out the optional activities.
You can paddle an inflatable kayak through the gentle waters of the Middle Navua River through the heart of Viti Levu. The relaxed pace allows plenty of time to take in the surrounding sites of villages and people as we pass through the verdant jungle interior.
In the heart of the tropical rainforest, just 25 minutes from Pacific Harbour Fiji’s ‘Adventure Capital’, lies ZIP FIJI’s private eco-reserve - a biological paradise! Highly-trained guides help you use special equipment and techniques to experience this amazing wilderness from a unique perspective with ziplines.
Optional activities:
Pacific Harbour Water Rafting $299pp
Pacific Harbour Ziplining Experience
Some of the best beaches on the mainland can be found along the Coral Coast in Fiji, making it a picturesque place to spend the last full day of your honeymoon. The beaches are backed by luxurious resorts and even some more affordable adult-only resorts should you want to set the tone right for tranquillity and romance. You may want to check out some of the highlights of the Coral Coast, such as the Biausevu Waterfall or the Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park, before you settle into your accommodation for the night.
Enjoy one last drive on the remainder of the Coral Coast before returning to where you started in Denarau Island. Spend one night here before embarking on an unforgettable 7 night cruise of the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands.
In the evening, Set sail into a stunning Fijian sunset for the ultimate sunset dinner cruise experience and a Fijian cultural entertainment completes a perfect evening on the water.
There’s no denying that the Mamanuca islands are top contenders for Fiji’s most picturesque region. But throw in a smattering of world-class resorts, frequent daily stress-free connections from Nadi, and tons of things to do and you’ll see why they’re such a magnet for holiday goers.
Bula and welcome aboard Blue Lagoon Cruises. Set sail on M.V. Fiji Princess from Port Denarau for the outer Mamanuca Islands, with the first overnight anchorage being the picturesque Modriki Island. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and canapes as you watch the sunset followed by the a la carte Captains Welcome Dinner and be entertained by our talented singing, dancing and guitar playing crew.
There is time to step ashore and enjoy a swim or wander along the beach before or after breakfast. Sea conditions permitting, there is also an opportunity to swim with the sharks at a secret reef location enroute to your next destination.
After lunch, embark on a visit to the chiefly village of Soso, an exceptional example of a current-day Fijian island village. Enjoy a traditional Thali dinner which features exquisite Indian dishes. This evening may turn into an extravaganza of Bollywood dancing complete with Bollywood movies.
Sunday is a day of rest in Fiji. After breakfast, attend a village church service. You cruise south to the beautiful Naukacucu and Narara Islands as you enjoy a traditional Sunday roast. Join the chef for today’s Fijian cooking lesson and make the traditional dish ‘Kokoda’. Tonight’s buffet has a range of dishes from Fiji along with a choice of European dishes. There is Bingo ‘Fiji style’ after dinner with lots of laughs and some good prizes, or you can enjoy a quiet nightcap at the bar.
As Fiji Princess arrives at the stunning Sacred Isles, you’ll be sure you are lost in paradise. The backdrop of the neighbouring Waya Lailai volcanic formations is breathtaking. Spend the remainder of the day swimming, snorkelling, and simply relaxing. Fiji style high tea is served following a cooking lesson on how to make ‘Roti in Lolo’. Watch the sunset and enjoy the Captain’s dinner.
Find bliss under a palm tree in the gorgeous Yasawa islands. If ever your tropical island fantasies came true, this strand of 20 exquisite islands would be high on that list.
Your destination for the day is the famed Blue Lagoon. The superb stretch of water is ringed by island and our very own private island peninsula is located here. Watch as the crew position right up to the beach and tie the boat off to coconut trees. Enjoy happy hour on shore with canapes. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Lovo meal under the coconut palms and the tropical stars. There will also be Fijian meke: singing, dancing, and story telling by local villagers.
Start your day with an easy guided walk with panoramic views, followed by a visit to an island-style cake shop and the local shell market. The rest of the morning is yours to enjoy at leisure; laze in the sun, try your hand at basket weaving, or embark on a guided snorkeling tour. Lunch is served onboard as Fiji Princess cruises north for a private guided visit to the amazing Sawa-I-Lau caves. The village of Tamasua welcomes you with a yaquona ceremony, a guided walk around the village, and a village style feast prepared and cooked by the village women. Sitting on mats, eat the delicious meals and listen to stories of Fijian culture and the island.
Cruise to Drawaqa Island where our marine Biologist joins us for a presentation about the local marine life and the volunteer conservation work carried out in the area. During May to October, you will have the opportunity to snorkel with the magnificent manta rays. Also on offer today is an excursion to the local island school to view the work of the Vinaka Fiji volunteers. Dinner this evening is a barbecue served under the stars. Tonight, party Fiji style to celebrate the last day of your cruise.
Disembarking your cruise, it’s time to head to the airport and return home. After such an incredible holiday, we’re sure you’ll be back. Until then, you have the photos and memories you created along the way.
