Bula Pass Fiji

The Bula Pass is the best way to explore Fiji’s stunning islands, allowing you to hop on and off the fast ferry along its route through the Yasawa islands (note: you must have accommodation booked on an island before you disembark). To check prices, departure times and book, simply use the search box on this page, selecting Fiji (Viti Levu) outbound and Yasawa Islands - Bula Pass as your destination. If you prefer to book with the accommodation included, check out our Yasawa Pass packages.

Choose your departure date, number of people and click search. From the results that appear, you will be able to select your preferred duration from 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 or 15-days island hopping. Once you complete your passenger info and proceed through secure online checkout, we will send you immediate confirmation and e-tickets. Book your Bula Pass and start exploring the Yasawa Islands!

Please note: Each step of your journey beyond the initial departure date needs to be reserved at least 24 hours prior to travel, and island accommodation must be booked before disembarking the Yasawa flyer. Returning to Denarau at any point prior to the end date of the pass renders it invalid for further use. Bula Passes are only available for persons aged 15 and above.

Bula Pass FAQ

1. Can children or infants get a Bula Pass?

No, Bula Passes are for passengers aged 15+ and are not available for children or infants. Because flexible hop-on, hop-off island itineraries are rarely booked by families traveling with young children, and the Bula Pass is mostly used by those wishing to stay in the island dormitories, dedicated child passes have never been offered. Instead, families traveling with children under 15 should book their ferry transfers step-by-step, which can easily be done using the search box on fiji-bookings.com. This is significantly cheaper for families, as children receive discounted fares on normal ferry tickets.
 
2. Is island accommodation included in the cost of the Bula Pass?
 
No, accommodation is not included in the standard Bula Pass price. You must have reserved accommodation at an island resort prior to disembarking the Yasawa Flyer. If you prefer an option that combines ferry travel with accommodation, you can check out the Yasawa Pass (Awesome Pass) packages instead.
 
3. What happens if I travel back to Denarau before my pass ends?
 
Returning to Port Denarau at any point prior to the designated end date of your pass immediately renders it invalid for any further travel.
 
4. Which destinations and resorts does the Bula Pass cover?
 
The pass covers hop-on, hop-off travel aboard the Yasawa Flyer through the Yasawa Islands as well as two Mamanuca Islands (South Sea Island and Vomo Island). It provides access to over 25 island resorts, including Barefoot Kuata, Octopus Resort, Mantaray Resort, Blue Lagoon Beach, and Paradise Cove (See the full list further up this page).
 
5. Do I need to pre-book each leg of my journey in advance?
 
Yes. Each step of your journey beyond the initial departure date must be reserved at least 24 hours prior to travel. You must also have confirmed island accommodation reserved prior to disembarking the Yasawa Flyer. Route legs can be managed and reserved at the travel desk on board or via South Sea Cruises/Yasawa Adventures reservations team.
