Ferry from Vuda Marina to Northern Yasawa Islands
Tropic Magic ferry completes the journey between Vuda Marina and the northern Yasawa Islands in around 3 hours, compared with the 4.5 to 5 hour trip on the Yasawa Flyer from Port Denarau. The faster travel time means less time at sea and more time enjoying Blue Lagoon and the wider northern Yasawas. Additionally, Vuda Marina is closer to Nadi Airport than Denarau, and typically has less road traffic getting there. This makes ideal for anyone needing to catch a flight.
Current Low Season Schedule
Note: In low season Tropic Magic runs on a simple rotation: every day from Vuda Marina to the northern Yasawas, the next morning back to Vuda Marina.
Vuda Marina → Northern Yasawas: 12:30 departure, arriving mid to late afternoon (approx. 3 hrs)
Northern Yasawas → Vuda Marina: 08:00 departure the following morning, arriving late morning (approx. 3 hrs)
The early 08:00 return departure to mainland is one of the earliest ways to get back from the northern Yasawas, making same-day flights from Nadi much easier. The 12:30 departure from Vuda Marina to the islands offers a relaxed early afternoon sailing, ideal for travellers arriving into Nadi that morning.
Upcoming High Season Schedule
During high season, Tropic Magic will operate at least one sailing in each direction every day, maintaining the same fast 3 hour journey time.
High season departure times will be published in the Fiji-Bookings search results as they are confirmed.
