Day-by-day itinerary
The Tropical Tempter runs in either direction and can begin on any day of the week. The sequence below reflects the standard outbound direction. Weather and sea conditions may occasionally require adjustments to the schedule.
Day 1: Port Denarau to Mamanuca Region (South Sea Island)
Board the Yasawa Flyer at Port Denarau at 8:45am for the short crossing to South Sea Island. The island is compact but action-packed, with complimentary non-motorised watersports available all day. Drinks (local beer, house wine, and soft drinks) are included from 9:45am to 4:00pm. It is a sociable, easy-going start to the trip.
Day 2: Manta Ray Region
Board the vessel in the morning and head north to the Manta Ray Region. Once you have checked in, make sure to book your two included activities straight away as some operate on set days. The standout experience is swimming with manta rays, available from May to October. Outside of this season, a guided reef snorkelling session is included in its place.
Day 3: Manta Ray Region
A full day at the resort to use your second included activity and make the most of whatever else is on offer. Check the activity board each morning for complimentary options and plan your day around them. It is also a good day to simply slow down and take in the surroundings.
Day 4: Return to Port Denarau
A final morning in the Manta Ray Region before boarding the southbound Yasawa Flyer in the late afternoon for the return journey to Port Denarau, arriving at 6:00pm. If you have time before departure, a sunrise summit hike or a session on the water makes for a good send-off.
Malamala Beach Club (Bonus)
Every Yasawa Wanderer guest receives a complimentary full day pass to Malamala Beach Club, a private island beach club located in the Mamanuca Islands. The pass covers vessel transfers from Port Denarau and coach transfers from hotels in Denarau, Wailoaloa, and Nadi. The beach club day is available on any day before or after your island package (not during). Just let the reservations team know your preferred date after booking.
