Description

Travel to the sacred heart of the Yasawas with Viti Awesome Tours to visit the mystical Sawa-i-Lau water caves. The Seabus ferry transfer departs Lautoka at 8AM, sailing via Waya, Waya Lailai and Naviti, bringing you on a scenic journey through the Yasawa archipelago with some unforgettably beautiful sightseeing along the way. The Seabus route terminates at Nacula island, locvation of the famous Blue Lagoon, where you will be transferred to a local speed boat and taken to the Heart of Yasawa, arriving at the beach at Sawa-i-Lau island between 11AM and 11.30AM. There, your dedicated guide will prepare you for the tour.

Snorkelling gear will be provided as it is a swimming tour - the caves are inundated with turquoise water - so make sure to bring your bathing attire! Island folklore has long told of the resting place of an ancient Fijian God within the caves. In the past during times of tribal warfare, local villagers would hide in a secret part of the cave, reached only underwater. Secret inscriptions pointed the way and can still be seen to this day.

After exploring the Caves enjoy a Fijian lunch (Fish in coconut cream with fijian potatoes, Hawaiian pizza/ vegetable pizza with soft drinks, beer, coffee or tea) before the boat transfer back.
